I’m Off to See the Wizard – the Perry Marshall Wizard…
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Ok, it’s been a while, but yes, I’m still alive and kicking. In fact I’ve been up to a lot…
Did you know that Perry Marshall hosts one of the most expensive and exclusive events in the entire marketing world?
It’s called roundtable. It’s a 2 day intensive, in Perry’s home with only 3 other entrepreneurs (and it costs a bundle). I just nabbed the last spot for next week.
I’ll let you know how it goes and take a picture with Perry so that you can see for yourself he’s using a younger picture on his Definitive Guide to Google Adwords
I believe in continual education. A couple of years ago, I bought… you guessed it… ebooks! Home study courses, the whole schmooze.
Some people like to give these a bad name. I give them credit. I don’t think I’d be here today without them.
Case in point, at Affiliate Summit in Vegas 2-3 weeks ago, over half the people in the audience raised their hands when the speaker asked who got started from an ebook.
Years down the road, the ebooks that teach me something are rare. But I’m still buying stuff. Non-stop. Because I want to get better.
To make a long story short, the networking was where it was really at. I met tons of interesting people. People that have the knowledge, resources and contacts any online entrepreneur needs to make it big time.
The place was packed with money. In the sense that there was success in the air. Established business people mingled with newbies, speakers and partiers…
I’ll be there again in Boston for the next one. If you go, let’s meet up. If the price tag is prohibitive, the expo only pass is under 300$ and that’s where all the action is anyways. (that and the after parties, featuring free open bars and other such morally dubious incentives).
Here’s a few pics of some people I met in person for the first time:
Like those booth girls…

Joel Comm:
Real Friendly, approachable guy.

Amit Mehta Of Superaffiliatemindset.com. I thought most panels were crappy.
His was good. Going places fast.

Mystery: World’s Greatest Pick Up Artist

The Next Chapter
I didn’t say this above but here’s also what I want from Perry Marshall, a guy that has made countless people and businesses successful.
Here is a guy that has earned worldwide respect for what he does, growing a huge profitable business from a one-man show.
I expect to solidify my PLAN and sharpen my vision.
And my plan is to help more people become successful at online marketing. I want to be responsible for more people making the income they want from the comfort of their home, kicking the job to the curb and the boss in the nuts on the way out (that last part is optional).
I’ve developed a completely new system, almost by accident. I put some pieces of it in the hands of three testers, and so far the results are amazing. I’ll tell you more about that in the days to come.
It fits right in with what Andrew Fox has just released. You may be too late as you read this, but if you can still get a spot, you’ll make an excellent candidate for graduation from the ranks of the day jobbers.
Thinking Outside the Box - Creativity in the 21st Century
“Being creative is seeing the same thing as everybody else but thinking of something different”
These are questions that I am often asked, as an authority in the buzz marketing industry I have studied these questions for many years, and today I am going to attempt to get your creative juices flowing with a series of examples of creativity from the world around us.
There are many aspects to it, but essentially you are taking an existing idea, notion, object etc… and then combining and mixing them to create something new.
Do you want some examples?
Ok, well, Gutenberg took the wine press and the die/punch and produced a printing press, and we all know how important the printing press became.
Ok, I admit it, that was a boring example, let’s look at some more modern versions.
Quite a simple and boring item… right?

The above bag was given when you bought a book by a famous crime-writer from Belgium.
Again, a useful product, but very boring. So how do you promote something so dull? With a little twist of creativity:

We are not endorsing drug smuggling, but if drug lords can be creative, then surely we can?
Below are thinly sliced sheets of Cocaine designed to look like Pringles.

It is fair to say business cards are pretty dull and boring, for decades we have all had boring business cards with virtually the same designs, but check out these creative business cards :


“Can you spare any change?”, those are the words we generally hear when we pass a homeless person on the street. But it is amazing what a little creativity can do:

the following year he upgraded to sign 2.0…

Lego is a great way to demonstrate and encourage creativity in children, check out this life-size model of R2D2:

Check out this great 404 error page for a poetry website.

How cool is this advert for National Geographic…

And finally, we finish with one of my personal favourites… the creative billboard ad:

I hope you have enjoyed this journey through creativity, and perhaps it will spark some creative ideas of your own.

Google Payload: It’s the Big One
This is going to be short and sweet, just the way I like it:
4 Months ago, I got in contact with a Genius Arbitrager from Brazil. This guy is making around 10 grand a day with search engine arbitrage.
To make a long story short, we spent hours, if not days on the phone and he showed me EVERYTHING. We’re talking million dollar secrets…
Here’s what I did. I took all the notes I had and formulated everything into a killer, and straight to the point blueprint that would serve as my guide so I would be sure to get things right from day one.
I spent weeks testing and tweaking it, going over and patching the system as I went along, until I got it exactly right.
Then I set up a couple of test accounts. I’m not sure if I was surprised or not, but within days, I had broken the 100$ a day mark.
To make a long story short, I made about $4000 in my first month and nearly $12,000 the second on one account. And it’s still going up like crazy.
The best part is, once I had the blueprint down, it took me literally less than 15 hours to set it all up. Since then, I’ve been too busy putting the blueprint in “clean” format to do anything more than check my stats. I literally haven’t touched it for weeks and it still makes hundreds a day.
That’s how automated it is. I’ve made an intro video so you can grasp exactly what I’m talking about.
Check it out here:
More on this tomorrow.

Bum Marketing - The Promise
In this article, we’re going to look more closely at how the Bum Marketing system works.
For each Major Step, we’ll look at what that step is; what that step demands from you; and how that step “promises” to help you make money.
According to Travis Sago (the “Grandfather” of BM), here are the Major Steps.
Step 1: Find 5 products to promote
This idea here, is to have multiple simultaneous promotions going on at once. That way, you don’t risk getting stuck on bad product. (more…)
Bum Marketing: Complete Waste of Time?
Many of you are still looking for the “right” Internet Marketing business model. You know what I’m talking about. The “plan” that’s going to put you “over the top” (whether that means breaking 6 figures, or just making enough to quit that “lousy” job of yours).
I “feel” ya! I’m there too… (more…)
6 Conversion Crimes of Landing Page Design
A huge measure of your success in affiliate marketing or product sales depends on your landing page. Its ability to convert visitors to your MDA (Most Desired Action) is directly proportional to the amount you are able to invest to acquire a new customer.
This entails opening up new traffic sources that would not be profitable with low conversion rates. Thus conversion efficiency is one of the most determining factors in the scalability of your operation.
Yet a large part of the internet population focuses almost entirely on traffic acquisition, throwing ever more resources (be they time, content, links, etc) at it rather than building from the ground up and making sure whatever traffic you do get creates money in your pockets. If you’re not able to generate returns on PPC advertising, this is the main culprit. (more…)
Mr. Rogers – 20 million, 7 minutes
You know you’re doing something right when the person you are selling to buys before you can even ask for the order.
That’s what happens here.
In 1969, Nixon wanted to cut funding for PBS public broadcasting. There was a senate committee in front of which Fred Rogers (Mr.Rogers) was invited to speak.
The presiding senator was openly in favor of the cut in funding…
Mr. Rogers is neither flashy nor glib. His presentation is low intensity. He speaks from the heart and it smacks of truth so hard it takes the senator under 7 minutes to make a decision, which he does on the spot.
Great little video…

How a Total Nobody Can Get a Top Level JV
Almost daily, I receive JV requests in one of my inboxes.
Most of them are awful. The presentation is terrible and the sender gives themselves almost no chance of successfully hooking the partners they need to have a successful launch or just get their product out there to the masses.
Here are the Dos and Don’ts of attracting top level JV partners (more…)
