Now develop sites, product, offers, writing great sales copy that converts All of them could make 6 figures online today on their own if they wanted to
I dont know everything - no one does Internet is too dynamic and changing You dont have to be good at everything If you think or hoping youre going to learn everything here today, remember everything, etc... you wont Ive been online for over 10 years and still feel like I dont know jack squat.

Everything Im going to show you today, at least half of it, I totally suck at 100 different ways to make money online, a million different ways to waste time and not make money. You only need 1 way to make money, only need to master a couple skill sets, only need to implement 1 or 2 breakthrough ideas
Understanding the CORE models and fundamentals of doing business online and marketing is the key. Much easier to focus on and master the key skill sets of your model and not get distracted with all the peripheral stuff that is not relevant to your model. RELEVANCY is key!!! So dont try to learn everything, looking for top 3 only

You will never learn or do all of this, no one will Its a toolbox, you acquire a tool, then use it when you need it for the right task at the right time. Whats your goal leaving here this weekend?
Whats the one thing you are going to do? - Get website up? Write an email promotion? Create your first product? Write your first sales letter? Hire your first employee? Fill a position you know thats been a major constraint in your business? Launch your first PPC or FB campaign? What is it? I want you to write it down right now.

Mindset
Only 2 types of people here today - those who arent thinking big or acting big enough and those who havent given it enough time Think big, takes same amount of effort as thinking small does - skys the limit!! Shoot for the stars you might land on the moon! Fail big and fail fast - ego vs. bank account Go for broke, all out massive action
NOTES:
You need a BIG reason to do this Make a HUGE detailed list, otherwise you wont make it This is most important thing youll do here today - most wont do it though My Binge Diet story - I finally made a big list

Mindset (contd)
Must be willing to invest in your education, ongoing commitment Mediocre college education today costs what? With no guarantee of even $40K/year job. But some think theyre getting scammed if someone wants to charge them $5K or $10K to learn how they made millions online.
Your mindset must change. You have to get in the game and get off the sidelines, go to school, pay your dues, go to work, give it time. Truth is, all we really need you to do is get to 6 figures, once youve done that, going from 6 to 7 is very easy

Mindset (contd)
Since the purpose of a business is to make or create a customer, the most important functions of a business are marketing and innovation. EVERYTHING else is an expense. ~ Peter Drucker Cant get customers without making sales so sales is the purpose of a business and marketing and innovation (improving your business to meet customer needs) are he most important functions of getting sales. If not in business to make sales then you are not in business, you are running a charity.

Ultimate business model - MASSIVE leverage! Exciting, challenging, dynamic, creative, inspiring, low overhead and start up costs Automation (leverage) Freedom of mobility - Geographical freedom, can live and work globally 1 person can sell to 6 billion (leverage) - global market place
NOTES:
BRICs and other developing nations becoming consumers - huge potential Income independence, no ceiling cap Tax advantages, if know how to structure properly and have a good team If you are an employee, you have the least amount of options when it comes to structuring your affairs legally to avoid taxes
NOTES:

23
With the current trends, taxes are going up big time, and after that doesnt fix the politicians problems, then theyll start printing money Being online gives you the most personal flexibility to manage these challenges
With the Internet, people get all bogged down in the technical of the machine, today is going to be about building you a vehicle that you can jump in a drive 100MPH. The vehicle is the means to the end, but its necessary and if its not put together right, or maintained properly, its going to break down and never get you where you want to go!

No right or wrong on the Internet There are only opinions and results Internet is a living breathing organism, constantly changing and evolving
Rules are only guidelines, one persons rules may not work as well for another or you might develop your own rules/guidelines that may contradict some other gurus rules. Also have to break your own rules and reinvent your rules every so often. Never be afraid to break someone elses rules.

Product/Market
Creating Value
Find the HOTTEST selling product or market possible Know your product - know what it is and what it isnt My product was/is my wife (not personal development or business coaching - DaniJohnson.com)
Give before you get Under promise and over deliver Go the extra mile for people Give away your best content Use lead capture form to access more content or members area archive

Exposure
Testimonials
Look for opportunities for exposure Look for opportunities to grow other peoples businesses and help them succeed Walk through any and all open doors that dont conflict with your core values $1m/year offer - dont train anyone but our company
Focus more on other peoples success than you do your own Setup systems to collect and capture comments, testimonials and case studies Publish and leverage those results to build momentum

Clients
Results
Clients not customers, theres a difference! Love your clients, friends first Internet all about relationships, LOVE your audience, treat them like family, create an environment they want to be a part of and dont want to leave
Good may be the enemy of great... but Perfection is definitely the enemy of results! Model others! DO NOT reinvent the stinkin wheel when you dont have to - DUH! (DA award)
NOTES:
NOTES:

35
Understand the difference between strategy and tactics Most people are chasing tactics online, with no clear strategy Strategy is the plan to reach your vision, goals, etc. Tactics are the step by step actions youll take to get there
Use Closed Loop Marketing or Hybrid Marketing strategically Move your prospects and customers from Online to Offline and vice versa Optin list to free training call back to the website to purchase a success tool (physical) then to a live event then back to the website for more followup training, etc.

4 Elements
Speed Is Everything
Only 4 things every (online) business must have; 1. An offer 2. Traffic (exposure) 3. Conversion 4. Deliver on the promise Thats it!
All about going Concept To Market as quickly as possible. So major goal today is to equip you with the tools and processes that allow you to come up with an idea and execute it quickly Because you may have to test several things before you get something that sticks and is profitable The less attached you are to your idea(s) the better (in some cases)

Self Publisher
Personality driven business model
Are you an expert or guru with valuable information or experience others are interested in or could benefit from? If not, then youll probably want to interview experts, interesting people, etc.
Youre marketing yourself just as much if not more than any of your products YOU are your product - know and understand this and you just positioned yourself ahead of 99% of others in this model RULE: People buy from people they a) like (relate to) and b) that have something they want, period (this is attraction marketing in a nutshell)

All about quality content (if long term model and not just setting up zombie blog sites) No personal touch - its all about the market, traffic, conversions - its all numbers and money No shopping cart needed, literally dont have any customers, only traffic and prospects
Crank out sites, content and offers - as many as you can, as fast as you can Need to focus on not getting bogged down, streamlining your system, automate and outsource as much as you can to ramp up (leverage)

Retail Site
Want a simple system others can easily and quickly replicate Best when combined with model #1 (Self Publisher)
Competing on price, mass brand awareness, distribution and delivery, product availability and options, massive advertising budgets, etc. Sometimes a mission centric business Could be an offline brick-n-mortar business that isnt yet online or just barely online but needs to be optimized, etc. (the corp site - merely a digital version of the company brochure, avoid this!)

Biggest Mistakes?
Not knowing your business model! Not watching your metrics and optimizing offers and funnels - its all about CTR & EPC baby! Not automating and outsourcing whenever possible Thinking because youre good at some things that you can be good at everything - just because you can do something doesnt mean you should!

Biggest Mistakes?

Getting bored with the core business building activities that made you successful, and starting to tinker with things that dont make you money - majoring in the minors Setting up entire funnel with unproven offer when should just setup minimum to determine CTR, etc.

Which Model?

Guess what... Hey, Ive got this great idea! YOUR IDEA SUCKS!!!
NOTES:
NOTES:
82
83
You dont really want an idea you want a HUNGRY market, a need that YOU can fill differently or better than someone else. RULE: Never start with an idea, always start with a HUNGRY market!
Sell what people want, not what you think is cool. If there isnt a (proven) market for your expertise or passion, you have a choice to make; Try and create the market (good luck) or Enter something with momentum and growth behind it while mastering the basics and gaining experiences and success, then apply it to your untested idea
NOTES:
NOTES:
84
85
Focus on the money first (follow the money honey) Most need to drop and forget their own great idea. Set it aside for 1-2 years and get into a high performance marketing opportunity, make as much money as possible then apply that knowledge and skillset into your great idea. Easier to develop the skillset faster by jumping on a train thats already moving at 100 mph than one that isnt moving yet.
NOTES:
Ego vs. bank account issue Marketing is never about you, its always about the market... period. Sometimes you are the market, but if or when youre ideas are not working, its because you are in the way!

NOTES:
So we simply want to sell a glass of water (or a meal) to a thirsty (or hungry crowd) - do this and you have a customer The short cut? Just go over to Clickbank, etc. and find a high gravity offer that matches one of those BIG proven markets, now focus on marketing The hard way? Start with you...

Market Research/Ideas
Now go over to Google Keyword Tool with these 3 topics and see if people are looking for those subjects online. Does the topic have results? Does it have a valid number of sub topics with more than 10,000 searches per month? Look for 5-10 phrases that you think you could provide information and training about. You want those phrases to be as specific as possible, but still have monthly search volume greater than 5,000. Ideally, looking for phrase(s) with at least 3 keywords and 5,000 monthly search volume.
Cross off anything that you cant see yourself spending time and effort to create content or a product around. Place a check mark next to the 3 topics that jump off the page, that light you up when you talk about them. These are your hot buttons. Start with those 3
NOTES:

Market Research/Ideas
Once you have five, 3+ word topics, write them down and move on. Do this for each of the 3 finalist topics on your list. So you should have 15 total topics when done. Once have them all, then need to validate whether or not these are truly hungry markets that will really catch fire and provide a clientele that will make you money.
NOTES:

Now Spyfu each phrase Note what other advertisers are paying for this phrase Cost/click: average cost per click the advertiser is paying. The higher the number the better, means theres money in this market. Clicks/day: average amount of clicks per day an advertiser is getting. Again higher is better.
Advertisers: shows number of advertisers bidding on this phrase, shows 21 max. Search Results/Search Volume: Come directly from Google. Search results number is total number of pages that satisfy the search criteria. The search volume is the number of searches for the particular phrase in the last month. Looking for high search volume with low number of search results, ideally.

Positioning?
You dont really want an idea you want a HUNGRY market, a need that YOU can fill differently or better than someone else. How can I compete?
Positioning and Relationship Marketing are everything - without it, you dont stand a chance Trusted Advisor / Preeminent Authority Relationship You dont have to be best in your industry Just identify what is the thing you know more than anything else in your life
NOTES:
NOTES:
100
101
Compete in area you know you can create level of value and trust others cant, then can recommend other services, etc. because you have earned your clients trust. One of the biggest stresses, expenses, cost, time money suck and fear of engaging in any new activity is developing new contacts, resources, tools, etc and the trusted advisor you can provide that service and often get paid for it.

Misc important stuff... Only activate plugins you are actually using Some plugins can jack up your site, so you want to test them one by one first Recommend backup site after each new plugin installed that is working well without any problems before installing next plugin Keep WP and plugins updated!

MYTH: Money is in the list! NOT!! Money is in the RELATIONSHIP! Database with no relationship is worthless. Database being marketed to for reasons other than its original purpose are usually worthless too. Exception to these rules is consumer offers or offers that are relative to the demographic of the list. Or if the list was built through a marketing methodology where no relationship was ever established, again consumer offers, etc.

Sales Copy
Sales copy is THE preeminent million dollar skill set responsible for more profits online than anything else. You can know all about PPC, all about social media, all about websites, list building, creating great products and on and on... but without good copy no one clicks and no one buys! Copyrighting IS King! It is THE mother of all skill sets. (if it had a twin sister, it would be split testing :-)
Sales Copy
But you said Content is king? - Copyrighting is Content and Content is Copyrighting. Just like SEO is PPC is SEO - do them both right and everything else goes well. Be (in) the market. Get inside the consumers head because YOU are the market! Youre writing to your own personal deepest desires, frustrations, needs and wants, addressing the issues and solving the problems no one else is seeing or identifying - hitting the under articulate nerve and vein of pain

Sales Copy
Know your product. The more you know your product the more success you will have (youre 1st product is people, 2nd product is your actual product). Not because you will know the facts, but because youre belief will be stronger and youll be able to speak from personal experiences. Proper grammar out the window, write like you talk to your friend when youre excited about something! Be yourself, let your personality shine through.
NOTES:
What is #1 goal/objective of your landing page? Optin? Sale? Contact form? Must have everything funneled into this single action you want people to take! Optin first objective, then build relationship, then sale Make sure all misc. links serve primary objective GET THE OPTIN!

Headlines
Headlines are the ad for your ad - 21x potential increase in conversions subject lines are headlines - big levers sub headlines too Biggest benefit (Tip: write huge list of benefits first, then pick out best, many different headline versions) Want to stick this right out front, articulate and telegraph the biggest possible benefit for starting the relationship with you
NOTES:
Headlines
How to, Discover, Exposed, Attention, Warning!, Who Else?, etc. Testimonial Make an outrageous claim - make sure you can back it up! Use statistics Use risk reversal and/or offer in the headline
NOTES:

Benefits
Benefits
List the benefits, what it does for them, the results, the advantages, etc. Get focused on talking about benefits not features! Quantifiable, documented benefits of your offer over your competitors Make as long a list as you possibly can Then list the benefits to the benefits to the benefits for each and every one (use How to ____ so that ____.)
NOTES:
Make them quantifiable/measurable - brings more validity Measure, compare, denominate - not platitudes and generalities Translate what it will feel like Pass the so what test (for copy review)

Benefits
list the implications of the quantifiable and measurable results Example: Focus Get more done each week, etc. 5x more focus, can accomplish in 1 week what been doing in 1 1/2 months - can do the job of 5 people. Need to connect the dots for people. Dont make me think stupid!
Future Pacing
Take people forward on what the difference will be in their life once they have your product. Gradual and immediate. Week 1, more energy Week 2, up earlier Week 3, more focus Week 4, better sex life Take a whole week off Double your net worth

Maybe not, but one thing is true, shes done it with so many others youve got nothing to lose, owe it to yourself, etc. Can lead horse to water but cant make them drink. But since 99% get results and Im the big loser if you dont, what do you have to lose?
NOTES:
The more you qualify, the more qualified you will be By application/interview only This definitely is not for everyone... Im looking for x, y & z... This may or may not be for you, Im not sure if you have the qualities of the type of person we are looking for...

Risk Reversal
Risk Reversal
Anytime 2 or more come together 1 side is always taking more risk. 2 kinds of risk, financial and intangible. Make it easier to say yes than to say no $ back isnt good enough (but its better than nothing) Do more than anyone else youre competing against would do Can also make it based on mutual performance As long as you do your part, etc.

Hardest thing to do sometimes is just sit down and write Start with a yellow pad. Process map or flow chart how your offer will look, price points, potential names/ headlines, keywords, etc. Then start to jot down notes for salescopy, pitch angles, etc. Easier if you start a brainstorm file or Mindmap of ideas, keep this in your iphone too because at night or early morning youll get some of your best ideas Then when you go to sit down and write, youve already got a good starting point and can get into a flow very easily and fast.

Connect with people every single day - do something! Sell daily, talk to your audience (whatever it is) daily. Start with a list of names if you have to, FB, email contacts, optins, buyers, previous customers from other businesses, etc. Create value for them and they will spread your message to others and expand our influence.
Start with everything, dont be too good for anything! If you have something to offer that adds value to peoples lives and you truly believe in it, you should be talking to everyone about it. If not, you are offering the wrong thing and you need to get into another business.

Exception to this rule is the means to an end. Sometimes your primary offer is not your greatest passion, but its your means to an end, its how you reach people to then expose your larger passion. So dont become too good for anything and recognize the offers (front end) that have the larger market appeal that can fuel your greater passion (back end). If you setup your web business properly, small things can add up to big results.

I said do you think its possible for us to do these numbers? He said Yes. 2 years later we hit every single one of them.
Taxes, Structuring & Wealth A major one was our tax burden, we were being killed by taxes because I had a small town accountant that didnt know jack squat about proper structuring techniques, was afraid to take certain deductions and was totally clueless about the industry we were really in.
