I am only doing this because I signed up for it myself with intention to pay attention this time as I think they have something really valuable to offer both us IM biz builders as well as offline businesses, new or established alike. >>>>

I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of Psychotactics.com. I’ve enjoyed their website and have found it to have very useful business/marketing information.

Just the other day, I got an invitation that said Psychotactics was giving away a workshop they sell for $2500. And, that they are doing a test and giving a limited number of copies away absolutely FREE…No charge. This workshop, the Brain Alchemy Masterclass, explains why structure—not marketing—is critical to growing a business effectively.

A free giveaway like this would normally have a catch of some sort, but this one (strangely) doesn’t. I’ve made sure I’ve signed up to their waiting list, so that I can get my copy of these goodies soon. You should check it out, and if you find it useful, you should get on the waiting list before it’s filled.

I’m sending you this note because I thought this workshop could help you. You should check it out and judge for yourself.

P.S. I read somewhere on the page that there’s a deadline for this free offer, so have a look and decide.

Ok, so I didn’t personally make this event, but I know someone who did and this is what they took away from it in their own words – good advice for WWN in IM. (What’s Working Now in Internet Marketing).

Mind you, this advice has probably always worked, and will always be good advice to follow:

(my comments are in blue italics)

One serious piece of information that I got from this event, which was especially settling for me was this…

“The major shift that is taking place in the field of Internet Marketing is actually a ‘Good Thing’! One that makes online businesses transparent and genuine to consumers.”

The regulations make ‘dishonest marketers’ scared of losing it all, and it brings the ‘honest ones’ more credibility in the marketplace.”

This is a good explanation for what Branding Yourself includes – keep this in mind when you leave comments, write blog posts, etc. What you say today doesn’t go away tomorrow.

1. Brand Equity – “Be your ‘best self’ while interacting and conducting your business online. In this age of social media technology, ‘everything about you is recorded’. Every comment you make, every opinion you have – everything! You are your ‘brand’ — your personal brand affects your future business dealings.”

2. Transparency - “Be as transparent as you possibly can. Transparency promotes trust, honesty and our best conduct.”

3. Follow Regulations - “Understand and follow regulations. Don’t give the FTC or other regulatory organizations the chance to make your life and business a ‘scapegoat’ in the marketplace.”

4. Retention Equity - “Always put more focus and time into your current customers and clients, before your bring in more new clients. That’s what will keep you in business for 5, 10, or 20 years or more in business. Even in the worst of circumstances.”

5. Value Equity – “Once you have figured out how to pay your monthly bills, the focus should be on building your value equity. Your value equity is what you generously give to your marketplace without expecting money upfront. Be generous.”

This goes without saying – I can’t say I’ve followed this advice to the tee as I’ve focused on offering value before I have ‘figured out how to pay the bills’ from IM efforts. Not saying I’m right or wrong, just didn’t do it this way.

*****

Can’t emphasize #6 enough – although modeling successful people is very important, you need to be willing to believe in yourself and set yourself apart  by being authentic.

6. Maverick Entrepreneur – “Do business the way you want to. Stop looking at your competition all the time and matching everything they offer. Your energy is well spent showing your own authentic personality and your uniqueness will pay you thousand folds’.

Hopefully you can take some of this advice and run with it – or better yet, you are already doing these things. Good for you!

Here goes:

Ever notice how whenever someone comes out with a new SECRET technique – whether they’re charging you for it or giving it away for free, that when YOU go to try it, it almost always bombs? Costing you time and money in the process too.

Seems like the technique worked for them in the past tense, now that it no longer produces, they can let the kitty out of the sack and share their ‘SECRET‘ with the world.  Awww, how generous of ya. I guess that means you a good guy a me now follow you and give you money, okeedokie?

I think what the Secret Technique really is, is it’s just a leveraging tool for creating higher value for the person sharing it. It’s like,” Look – I know what I’m doing. I made bank on this little trick.” (Now, because it was a one time, one trick pony) I share it with everybody announcing my greatness to the world and by the way won’t you please pay attention to me? Me,  a person who is successful and savvy. You’ll follow me now? Really? Great! Now check out all these offers I have to sell you! Ah yes, mo’money mo’money mo’money.

Seriously, think about it. If you fall upon a technique or manufacture one with some co-conspirators, you can now show off your paypal transactions and brag about your growing bank account that happened, ‘literally overnight while I was asleep‘. This will suddenly give you street cred and people will think you are on to something big.  They buy in for however you package it. Your real money is now made on selling this ‘not-so-secret-anymore technique’ to the masses as well as building a HUGE email marketing list that a percentage will keep buying the next greatest thing you offer to them. Brilliant.

This is something that I believe needs to be brought up.  I’m tired of seeing so much failure experienced by so many coupled with too much brewhaha and smoke and mirrors by the few who ARE making it.

It seems to me like there is a huge BRIDGE missing in the whole rags to riches stories that are out here in IM Land. Don’t you agree?

I mean, everybody I know (and plenty I don’t) who are ALREADY successful or at least BS-ing their success never seem to mention or acknowledge how or what it was that finally brought them up from the depths of homogenous moneyless amateurism to the sudden ability to make money on command. You know, where they already seem to have made it, claim to tell you how easy it is and how they can (for a price) show you how to do it too?

Funny thing is, every time you buy into one of these things, if you stop to pay attention, you’ll realize that the HOW they are making their money is by selling their story and maybe some techniques and tools along with it. That is NOT the same thing as how THEY made their first money.

Often, it’s claimed that it was a mental shift – a Mindset Change – if I may take liberty there. Like, “the day I decided to be a leader, I was a leader.” Seriously? Come on. I wasn’t born yesterday.

Ok, I’m not going to get all negative and Devon Downer on ya.  I would like to see less hiding behind marketing hoopla and more authenticity. My two cents worth. Keep in mind that none of this will still not guarantee your success :

• Luck
• Persistance
• Consistency
• Motivation and Passion
• Modeling the Right mentors
• Money for tools, advertising, etc

I think advice like pretending to be successful is ingenuous and foolish. Better hope you make it before they peak behind the curtain. Not a good way to present yourself to the world.

By far the most annoying thing I find is those people who hook you with a product that may or may not be good and then you find them promoting a new different  affiliate offer to you everyday till you unsubscribe. My god, if you multiply that by however many ‘guru’s email lists you subscribe to, you’ll be on the  Information Overload Express Train to Crazy Town without a nickel to your name because you foolishly spent every cent on all these conflicting next best gotta-have things.

Phew! Ok, a bit discombobulated rant there but I’m sure I speak for the 1000s of frustrated marketers who are trying to figure out the missing link that separates the winners from everybody else.

If you ARE one of the success stories, why not take this as an opportunity to be a new STAND OUT guy or gal who tells it like it REALLY IS.  Might make even more money while you are at it.

I’ve been busy on other projects so I apologize for not being more consistent on this blog.

Two big contenders – giving us some choices – are Adam Horwitz latest Local Mobile Monopoly set to come out March 21st and  Paul Kemp/Stefan Maingot’s Local Mobile Money coming out the 10th giving them a leg up on Adam’s by almost 2 weeks.

Meanwhile, Adam is offering up some crazy contests for getting the word out for his product – including over $55,000 in cash prizes and a 3 day rental for a 2011 FERRARI California (pretty sweet) – here’s what one looks like:

As I recently mentioned in another post, I still feel the original Mobile Monopoly course has value – especially to those who need a good introduction to the booming mobile market.

If you are interested in jumping into this rapidly expanding marketing segment, check these out.
I can tell you that on Monday March 7th I’ll be able to get a link to a free module the product owners are giving away. Until then, watch this space

Here’s an example of mine for Shaklee:

Shaklee Business Review

and here’s the main site:
Business Opportunity Reviews

Another sign: you are still spending what money you have on the latest training, tool and pre-launch but have yet to make any consistent money or even any money at all.  You tell yourself, “I’ll do it just as soon as I finish this course on how-to . . .

Truth hurts, but lack of progress and lack of money should hurt more.

What do I mean?  Uh, the one-two punch of marketing and advertising come to mind.  Have you written anything lately?  Are you making videos? Holding training webinars? Putting out articles and press releases?  Asking for the sale? Or more appropo, suggesting they check out your newsletter or email training series? BUILDING YOUR LIST !!! Placing ads on websites like Facebook, Google or Craigslist?

So get out of your comfort zone, get off your butt and take some ACTION.

If you need some more motivation but don’t want to waste too much time, check out Bob Proctor’s story here.  He’s got a great system to get you going.
