I’ll be on the phone tonight with Stu McLaren sharing some of my predictions for the year ahead.

Stu’s got a tremendous line up of saavy Internet marketers sharing their best ideas -

And the cool thing is that 100% of the money generated will be donated to help build school facilities and educate 3rd world children.

I know, I know - times are tough X. I need every last penny I’ve got. And who cares about a bunch of kids in Central America or Africa?

Fact is, you have more than enough. And it is a proven fact that giving a little brings back a lot. Even if the prediction calls suck - and they don’t - THIS is a good way to start the New Year.

Look - I don’t believe in talking about what I give. That is between me and my creator - those are the ONLY points that matter. And I can assure you that my life is blessed because I give to those in need. My life has been blessed with helping hands in times of need and I can call myself a success because of that hand up.

I encourage you to consider this seriously. Remember, there is no affiliate link here - there is no DIRECT FINANCIAL profit. But I believe the INDIRECT PROFITS will shine on everyone who chooses to get involved.

All the best to you, X

It’s true: Twitter Vikings

any Internet marketing “guru”, who would it be?

“It’s only after you’ve lost everything that you’re free to have anything.”

You’ve heard the story.

My house burned down.

I lost “everything”.

I experienced firsthand what that quote above means - it’s not just a cute little saying.

It was freedom.

Freedom to be, to do, to have - whatever I desired.

Strip it all down to the bare bones, humble yourself then get back up with resolve.

One year just wrapped up and a New Year begins.

And I want you to ask yourself, was the old year everything you wanted it would be?

Was it?

WHAT …

WENT….

WRONG?

Do not let it happen again.

Do not cheat yourself again.

Do not fail to suck the life out of 2009.

This is your life . . . and it’s ending one minute at a time.

This isn’t a seminar.

This isn’t a weekend retreat.

What are YOU going to do in 2009?  And why do you think it’s going to be any different?

Nothing will be different if you do not identify what went wrong, and destroy it - annihilate it - from your life.

You cannot move forward without burning bridges.

Attack, and burn your ships.

Leave yourself no other option because if you do, you leave open the door to failure.

BURN IT.

ANNIHILATE IT.

And don’t give me half-assed excuses about the good stuff.  If 2008 was less than you wanted it to be, then it needs to be called what it was - a failure.  Maybe not a complete failure, but a failure to live up to the potential you HAVE to make it what it could have been and what the year ahead CAN be.

When is it your time?

When is it YOUR revolution?

Now.

Now is the time.

2009

Sometimes the best ideas are those you get an inspiration for and just do it without a whole lot of thought or consideration.

I’m amazed by the response already - and it’s giving me more ideas.

When I came out with the Adwords Black Book I had a vision - I’ve had the vision for a long time.  Communities of people working together win - especially over individuals trying to do it alone.

Regarding this “opportunity” - my sense is it’s going to grow into something bigger than summarizing info products.

Take a collection of people boiling down an abundance of information into actionable items and you have the secret formula to success - knowledge plus action.

Yes . . . I have some very interesting ideas in my head right now.

I’ve come to the conclusion I have a compulsive
buying disorder.

As a result, my hard drive is loaded down
with more information and software than I can
consume and put into action.

********************************************
********************************************

I’m looking for a few good men and women
who’d like access to the information I
have -

In exchange I’m asking you to summarize the
info into a step-by-step action plan -
something I could hand off to an outsourced
worker and they could “do it” by following
the step-by-step plan you put together.

********************************************
********************************************

In other words, I need you to consume the
material and boil out the fluff.

I don’t have any time for hand-holding on
this project.  You’d be on your own in
the wilderness.

If you complete one project, I’ll give you
another - and another - and another - if
this is your thing.

The material is on a wide range of IM topics -
not just Adwords or affiliate marketing.  It
includes ebooks, software, audios, videos,
the whole gamut.

I will only accept 4 or 5 people.  You
need to be serious about going through the
material and producing solid, usable action
plans with it.

If interested, drop me a note at
sales ((at)) adwordsblackbook.com and tell me why
you’d be a good candidate for one of these
positions.

What I want to hear is “X, I’m a great
writer, I’m going to take this serious,
and I’m a motivated hell-cat ready to
tear this up.”

PS - No this isn’t a “paid” gig.  You get free
information - remember what Robert Kiyosaki
said - “The rich don’t work for money; they
work for the knowledge to make their money
work for them.”

Opportunity is knocking.

I’m swiping this off the Warrior Forum:

Eric Louviere wrote . . .

Going from six figures to seven figures is all about systems and reach.

How many people do you reach? What systems and mechanisms do you deploy to REACH the people you already do at the six figure level? What you need is to reach more prospects.

This usually requires you to leave comfort zones and push your own limits and thoughts as well. You have to do things that are currently not comfortable for you. This is called growth.

I saw Mike Filsaime on Fox News a while back. That’s (IMO) pushing your own comfort zone (and reaching a ton more people in the process as well). That’s called Public Relations (PR). If Mike continues to grab media spots, he’ll reach more people.

If you spend $2000 on Google Adwords per month, then you can ramp that up higher. You can spend 20k per month. You can initiate media buys online. You can enter the CPA networks. You can buy a ton of advertising online. See tribalfusion.com, advertising.com, etc

REACH is critical. The WF is reach. Do you reach the WF members through WSO’s? This is one market place (a great one at that).

Launching more stuff. When I asked Mike his opinion on how I can reach 7 figures over two years ago, he said: People think they must grow like this: 2k to 5k to 10k to 13k to 15k to 18k to 20k to 25k to 30k to 38k to 40k and so on.

It does not work like that. You go from 2k to 15k to 50k with each new Major change in your business - or launching a new thing. One launch can catapult you to the next financial level.

Matt Bacak said that if you make 10k per month, then you have a 10k per month business system. A 100k per month income has a 100k per month business system. That is true.

If you are at 1k per month, then you have a 1k per month system.

I have salespeople, programmers, technical support, web designers, graphic artists, customer support, mentors and partners. I have a call center… am implementing media buying… have PPC management company brewing… and so on. To me, that’s a 10 million dollar + business system.

When I made 10k per month, I had a 10k per month system. I did copywriting. Whoo hooo - what a system!

And since Wags wants an IM university… here’s your assignment for approaching the year 2009:

Pull out a sheet of paper and invest at least 20 minutes writing down what you think you need to do MORE of to reach 1,000,000 per year. Write down what specific things you can do. Here’s an example:

– Go to more seminars (speak at seminars)
– conduct workshops
– create high ticket products to sell my customers on backend
– quadruple my traffic
– finally test my stuff (split testing)
– outsource all the tedious stuff I dont need to spend my time doing myself
– launch more projects without worrying so much if people will like it or not
– strike relationships so I can expand my reach through JV’s, etc
– conduct tele-seminars and webinars in my market

– AND launch a new, killer, full-blown, membership site!

Things like that. (these are just examples BTW)

If you make six figures, you can make seven. You can do that by just
expanding your reach!

Lastly, the mindset is different at seven figures (but barely). The only
difference is there’s another zero
