Got $5K handy? Then maybe you can be persuaded to send it to ???.

What is significant about $3,253?

Well, the impact of that dollar figure grows when I tell you that this … Wasn’t generated on a monthly basis or a weekly basis. It wasn’t even generated on a daily basis or an hourly basis.

It was generated on a PER MINUTE basis!

This was the average amount a persuasion expert generated each minute he spoke at various seminars during the last year.

———————————————
Here’s the interesting part of the story…
———————————————

This person sold a total of $4.1 million dollars from a mere 14 speaking engagements.

Can you imagine speaking only 14 times and generating $4.1 million dollars? Neither can I!

Well for the first (and likely last) time ever, this person has decided to share his highly powerful sales techniques.

Obviously, this event is NOT for everyone. I mean who has $5,000 laying around unused?

If you have no intention of speaking from stage, then it’s definitely not for you.
If you don’t plan on hosting a teleseminar in the next year, this isn’t for you.
If you aren’t someone who plans on selling any kind of product or service in the next year, don’t click Here.

However, if you want to learn the powerful techniques to help you win over any audience and dramatically improve your sales, then click HERE.

Clicking HERE will cost just a few minutes of your time. Then, if you are persuaded that this is right for you, you will know what to do.

I know you’ll enjoy it.

Take care.

PERSUADE ME!


Michael Green

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Have you ever wondered what an internet marketing guru looks like? Of course you haven’t because you’ve seen plenty of their pictures.

But have you seen Michael Green? Michael keeps a low profile when it comes to his image to keep his internet business separate from his "real life" because his real name is Grant and he is also a member of Parliament.

I thought I would share this picture with you because Michael came to visit me when I was a student in one of his mentoring programs. Michael Green on 2004 visit to Ed Rykiel

Yes, he flew in from England. I can’t say that he came just to see me - I’m sure he had several students in the United States that he visited on that trip. But here’s the point - he took the time to come and help me personally, not meet me in a gathering of internet wizards in some big hotel where you are competing with hundreds of others to get someone’s attention.

While I feel that Michael is a business friend, there was one thing that was wrong with the mentoring he gave me. Because he has mastered internet marketing and can sell ice tea to eskimos, he forgets that things are not so easy for the likes of me. So he left out the part about doing market research and guided me into writing a book that no one wants to read. Now I bet he could sell lots of copies of my book to people who aren’t even interested in gardening, but I can’t. Especially not about gardening with native plants. Oh well, live and learn.

The bottom line for you? Do some research to determine that there is a viable market for your ebook before you write it.  There’s a good chance nobody really cares what you have to say about your "passion".

 


Free Stuff for Internet Marketing Beginners - Planning

Friday, February 29th, 2008

New to internet marketing? On a tight budget? All the gurus telling you to buy their stuff?

Wait!

There is a goldmine of free products and information on the world wide web. So before you buy anything expensive, look for the free stuff. The simplest approach is to use a search engine like Google or Yahoo. Just search for: free fill-in-the-blank; for example: free website builder.

The only problem with this approach is your time. You have to do the searches, then you have to try out whatever comes up to find out if it is what you are looking for. On the other hand, you can’t beat the price.

Begin Planning with free business plan software

I’ve made a point about using planning as a step-by-step how-to guide for developing your business so here is where you can get a free business plan template and a free pdf guide book bundled with it from planware.org. 

"… Free-Plan registration is completely free and there are no strings attached ! You will not be added to any email list as a result of registering. Check our privacy policy at <www.planware.org/privacy.htm>.

To register, simply e-mail <freeplan@planware.org> quoting within its body the serial number displayed in the table/box located in the middle of the first page of the Free-Plan Template file (FREE-PLAN_TEMPLATE.DOC).

You will be e-mailed back a password with simple instructions to unprotect the Template. Once unprotected, you are licensed to use it as an outline structure & guide for your business plan. It can be freely modified and there are no restrictions on how and where you distribute your completed plan based on the Template. (A little mention would be nice <g> but that is at your complete discretion)."

Freeplan is comprehensive so don’t feel like you have to do everything that is suggested. Start with a Short Plan. The idea is to familiarize yourself with the elements of a business plan and use those parts that are most relevant to you personally. Let me know what you think of it.

I try to keep in mind that a plan is nothing, but planning is everything - in other words, plans are meant to be revised as you get new ideas and information, and as your knowledge and skills grow.

More Free Stuff Later

From time to time, I’ll point out places where you can find other items that are both free and useful. Please add any suggestions of your own.

PS You don’t have to be a beginner/newbie to make good use of free stuff!

 


My IM Connection to Queen Elizabeth

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

If you haven’t heard about the concept of "Six Degrees of Separation", the thesis is that almost everybody on earth is connected to everybody else by no more than six steps. I’ve never met Queen Elizabeth (yes, the one in England) and I’m quite sure she has no idea who I am. But it dawned on me the other day that I have a connection to her in only 3 steps. Here’s how it goes.

Step 1. I’ve met Armand Morin (that’s me on the right)

Step 2. Armand has been to dinner with Prince Charles (See p. 40 in "An Obvious Truth")

Step 3. Prince Charles knows the Queen (obviously) because he is her son.

Thanks to Armand Morin, I have a connection to the Queen, and it didn’t even take 6 steps. Now if you think about who the Queen knows, Step 4 for me opens up a whole world of people I never imagined I would have any connection to.

Wow!

Ed Rykiel meets Armand Morin

Internet Marketing Explained

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

January 18th is Armand Morin’s birthday. So he’s giving YOU a present!

He is going to launch a course on internet marketing based on his 12 years of marketing experience. He was poor when he started, but now he’s rich so I’m thinking he knows what he is talking about. But you can decide for yourself - here.

I took the precursor to this course and I learned more about internet marketing in that time than from all the other stuff I spent my money on, so I’m pretty sure that this revised and updated new course from Armand is the one investment that you will be glad you made. It’s internet marketing explained by a guy who has been there and done that.

I’d especially like to know if you found Armand Morin’s announcement persuasive, so don’t hesitate to send your comments.


It’s their day job, not the internet marketing lifestyle they told you about

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Maybe you’ve heard of the "internet marketing life style" where you only work 2 hours a week at home in your pj’s and you rake in tens of thousands of dollars a month. The truth is: It’s Their Day Job. And they work hard at it even if they are at home and in their pj’s. It’s their business. It’s what they do every day. It’s not so easy. So why are they telling you how easy it is? So you will buy the stuff they want to sell you - duh! Or, doh!, if you prefer.

If you have even thought about internet marketing, you have seen all kinds of garbage in the form of extremely hyped up sales pages blasting you with unbelievable claims (more…)

What if that marketer was Armand Morin? His story: he was poor, now he’s rich - end of story. Well, not just yet Read Armand’s brash and controversial Truth for yourself —> An Obvious Truth
