A simple cure for info overload… and a simple recipe for success

on March 30th, 2007

I’m sure you’ve heard that Mark Joyner’s new book, ‘Simpleology’ launched today.

All the emails about it are a dead giveaway ;)

I know… lots of emails on the same day can be a bit pesky… and I rarely participate.

But… I owe you my take on this.

And if you have even a smidge of ‘info overload’, you definitely want to read on…

See…

I’ve known Mark for several years now… and lots of my friends and mentors and myself have credited Mark with key breakthroughs we’ve had online.

And honestly, more people should credit Mark…

That’s because he did a lot of the heavy lifting early on in the Internet marketing game and we all stood on his shoulders.

Whether it’s ebooks, email, or viral marketing… he’s lead the way as a pioneer… YEARS ago.

But that doesn’t mean he’s out of touch… far from it.

If nothing else, you should click through to see HOW he’s launching his book.

It’s worth the cost of admission to watch what he’s doing, I assure you.

And he’s a best selling author many times over.

Now Simpleology has nothing to do with marketing…

…but perhaps everything to do with whether you will be successful online or not.

That’s because you gotta use your head and most people are so stuck with ‘info overload’ that their business is stuck, too.

Simpleology is all about making all the stuff that’s swirling around in your head… simple.

I’m a student of success…and if you are serious then you are too.

And… every successful person I know is a reader and a student of successful people.

No exceptions.

I recommend that you grab a copy of Mark’s book and enjoy his sense of humor and insight as he explains some stuff that will blow your mind… about YOUR mind.

It’s all about showing you how to get what you want… simply.

If you like ‘blueprints’, you will love Simpleology.

And it’s more than a book. He’s got a whole site that literally thousands of people rave about.

Besides… when you buy a book on launch day… you always get a ton of bonuses, too.

Gotta love it.

Just check it out…

Internet Marketing Truck Fire?

on March 23rd, 2007

I’ve heard of turning lemons into lemon aid, but this is way more inspiring.

See, my dear friends, Steve and Kerry Beck, recently lost their Ford truck to a fire.

Yeah, one of those pesky cruise control product recalls that have been documented to turn trucks into toasters.

For whatever reason, the Beck’s didn’t get the recall notice… and it’s too late now.

Even though the faulty part was 100% to blame for the fire, Ford is washing its hands of the whole thing, so Steve and Kerry now have an opportunity to go car shopping without the benefit of insurance or compensation for their loss.

I don’t care how great business is going… having to replace a trusty truck out of your pocket stinks!

Most people faced with this situation would be screwed… but the Becks are accomplished Internet Marketers (and they put on the Family Ebiz expo that I’ve spoken at and mentioned on this blog before).

And hey… Steve is in seminary and just got done putting on a seminar in San Antonio, and Kerry runs a hot eBay business, so they were busy enough without adding this situation on top of everything else.

So… they are having a ‘Truck Fire Sale’… yes, using their proven skills and drawing from their inventory of information products, they are literally turning this situation into a win win for them and their customers.

Hey, I think most people would just ask for money in exchange for the products… but Steve and Kerry are going one step further… they are inviting joint venture partners to promote the ‘Truck Fire Sale’ and pay out commissions.

Listen, if you have a Clickbank ID and would like to help promote this… feel free to help spread the word.

I said I would tell my list and post this story on my blog to help… but I’ve used Steve’s link because I’d rather that 100% of the money go back to getting them a new truck.

Here’s the link that explains all the real and valuable products they have included in this offer… and if you’re starting out online and are looking for a bargain from a trustworthy source… I dare say you won’t beat this opportunity any time soon.

http://beckman.truckfire.hop.clickbank.net (’beckman’ is Steve Beck’s Clickbank ID…)

Most people blow more on Pizza in a weekend than what the Beck’s are asking for information that could put you in business for yourself online with a little effort on your part.

Of course, I want to help out my friends, but even if I didn’t know Steve and Kerry and their awesome family (Gentry, Ashley and Hunter!) — I respect that they are not crying over spilt milk or waiting for a handout… they are turning their marketing skills into a win win solution.

Like I said… I did not use my affiliate link here… 100% of sales through this link go to Kerry and Steve.

Just know that like a traditional ‘Fire Sale’, the price goes up as time goes by… so don’t wait and think about it.

For what they’re charging, it’s so far beyond a no brainer that I lack the words to describe this deal.

I’ve never been comfortable asking my subscribers to donate money to charity… but I’ll alert you to a smokin’ opportunity to get the training and tools you need any day.

All the best,

Craig

P.S. The lesson here is clear… if something tragic or challenging happens, it’s so much more powerful to look for an opportunity to solve the problem rather than wait around for charity or resorting to lawsuits.

A dark secret to light your way to success…

on March 23rd, 2007

How can something dark light your way?

I know it sounds strange, but it’s true.

Let me explain by asking you a question.

Have you ever seen someone watching TV and they were so ‘into’ the show that they were unaware of just about anything else?

That’s called a deep trance.

You know what I mean.

Something similar has happened to you just now.

You stopped what you were doing and now you are here reading my post.

Heck, I was in a trance when I wrote it…

How did I do that?

That’s the dark secret.

We’re all in trances.

Yes, you, me, and pretty much everyone else, all the time.

We think we’re ‘conscious’ and making rational choices, right?

But… much of what we do is driven by UNconscious forces.

Time to wake up… and profit.

If you want your marketing to get people to buy right now you’ve got to know what ‘trance’ your prospects are already in.

If you can match their trance, you’ll see your sales go through the roof.

If you mis-match, your promotions will flop.

It’s that simple.

I’m fascinated with trances…

I’ve been reading a new book by my friend Joe Vitale called, "Buying Trances", and I haven’t been able to put it down.

He’s written a lot of books, I’ve read them all.

Buying Trances is his best marketing book yet in my opinion, (it’s already a best seller on Amazon.com the first day, too).

I highly recommend that you check it out at…

www.amazon.com (this link will go straight to it).

As they say, the truth will set you free.

When it comes to trances, ignorance is certainly not bliss.

Both as a consumer and a marketer, you need to understand trances and turn the dark secret into a source of light to guide you to success.

Trances are like any great power, use this knowledge wisely to lead your customers to their greater good, and you’ll be richly rewarded.

P.S. Speaking of rewards… watch for my next post. I’ve put something together for you that you don’t want to miss.
