  Advanced Mastermind Online

  Internet Marketing Help No Comments

  Dang, it’s Friday evening, the weekend before Christmas.  I bet most “normal” people are fully immersed in holiday activities.  Or standing in line to see Avatar in 3-D. 

  I’m making a point of taking time to watch a movie with my wife this evening.  But time is extremely short on this announcement, so I didn’t want to wait until tomorrow to post it.

  Are you in a mastermind group? 

  I mean a real mastermind group where talented people help each other out.  Not a social club masquerading as a mastermind group that meets at a pub or a coffee house once a month to hang out, drink and gossip.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that.  But those groups typically don’t accomplish much in the way of expanding their businesses.

  One of Napoleon Hill’s core principles of success in Think and Grow Rich is to form, or join, a mastermind alliance.

  But finding or forming a mastermind group is easier said than done.

  Frank Kern formed one for his Mass Control students.  Membership was strictly limited, and they each pay Frank $2700 a month to remain in the group.

  Yanik Silver’s Millionaire Mastermind (if you even meet the income qualifications to get in) is $17,000 a year ($20k if you use the payment plan).

  Russell Brunson has a Platinum Mastermind group.  I found an application online that didn’t reveal the cost.  I’m guessing it’s steep.

  The bottom line is that if you don’t have the contacts to start your own quality mastermind group, you may very well have to apply, then pay to get into one.

  Which brings me to my announcement. 

  John Delavera, of JV Manager and Delavo fame, just opened his own mastermind.  You don’t have to apply to get in.  And for a very short time, it’s a very low one-time cost. 

  Not only do you get into John Delavera’s mastermind group, you also get the script that runs it to form your own.

  I’m going to give you a heads up so you don’t make the same mistake I almost did.

  When I see John’s Santa Deal Time come around each year, I immediately think of a big package of ebooks and scripts and memberships.

  This year, Santa Deal Time has a big pack of that kind of stuff as bonuses.  But the primary offer is charter membership in John’s mastermind, and of course, the script itself to run your own.

  Go check out Mark Joyner’s endorsement video.  (yes, I said Mark Joyner)

  Don’t put this off.  The offer ends this weekend.

  When Santa Deal Time is over, I highly suspect John is going to raise the price.

  I look forward to seeing you in the mastermind.

  P.S. – I’ve already spotted one big “name” in the mastermind, and I’m not counting John Delavera.

  Stop Forum Spam

  Internet Marketing Help No Comments

  I saw something at the Warrior Forum yesterday that I suppose shouldn’t have surprised me, but did.  It’s not so much that a lengthy blatant spam post appeared in the main forum, but the marketer who posted it.  I wish I’d taken a screen shot of it before the mods nuked it.

  Well-known internet marketer, Terry Telford, graced the Warrior Forum long enough to post an ad for his $497 retirement package.  He didn’t even put much effort into trying to disguise it as something other than spam.  Did he really think he could get away with it?  I reported the post as spam, then looked at his profile to see when the last time he posted was.  Six months ago.  Damn nice of him to show up after six months to try and sell the Warriors something without ponying up $20 to put it on the WSO or Classifieds Board.  I guess he thinks he’s special or something.

  What also cracked me up was the one response to the post.  A long-time forum member, one who actually has a fair amount of clout in the forum, instead of reporting Telford’s post, replied in glorious ass-kissing fashion by offering to promote the $497 package.  Again, I wish I’d taken a screen shot.  It was truly pitiful.

  So, how do you combat that stuff?

  1. Report the offense ASAP, and get it removed.  Spammers typically don’t waste their time spamming forums that nuke their posts quickly.
  2. Let other people know.  Especially when it’s someone who knows better. 
  3. Don’t do business with the spammer.  I got an email from Telford this morning, and promptly unsubscribed from his list.

  Making Money Fast

  Internet Marketing Help No Comments

  On November 13, 2009, Bryan Kumar started a thread at the Warrior Forum titled $50,000 Before the Holidays – My Plan.  His post caught my attention in a way that I knew I shouldn’t ignore it.  So I decided immediately upon reading his plan to launch a similar project of my own.

  My goal is to generate $50,000 in sales by midnight December 31, 2009.  Bryan’s goal is to attain $50,000 before Christmas, but because part of his project includes distribution of the plans of the participants, I wanted the distribution of my own plan to contribute to my sales goal as it’s part of the same project.

  Bryan is not using any of his existing customer lists to attain his goal, so I’m choosing to do the same.  Many newbie marketers don’t have lists of their own yet, so it only makes sense that a duplicatible system would include list building as part of the plan.  My plan is about using existing resources to generate quick income.  And by existing resources, I’m talking about resources that someone who is yet to be successful in generating any decent online income would have. 

  I’m also going to assume that most people following this have a full-time job.  My main gig is as the marketing guy for Incansoft.  I won’t be shirking my duties there to work on this project, and I also won’t be including my income from Incansoft as part of this project.  This project is a part-time deal for me and can be duplicated in less than four hours a day.
