How Internet Marketers Can Triple Their Productivity In Less Than 24 Hours!

by admin on September 1, 2009

A few months ago I read Tim Ferriss’ excellent book The Four Hour Work Week. My biggest takeaway from The Four Hour Work Week was this nugget: “If you want to become super productive you need to go on a Low Information Diet.”

His advice made a ton of sense to me. Shut off the TV and kill the radio while in the car, and in the process you will free your mind from the daily barrage of news and commercial media that does nothing but scramble your mind and keep you from being focused on the work that needs to be done.

And this worked . . . . to a degree. I was more focused and more things were getting accomplished. But I was still not as productive as I wanted to be. Because of this, I needed to take this concept of a “Low Information Diet” to another level. And thanks to a brilliant marketer from Australia by the name of James Schramko, I received a tip that literally tripled my productivity within 24 hours.

Recently, I was searching the archives of The Warrior Forum where I found this April 2009 post by James Schramko. The title to this powerful post is: “3 Years Later — My Biggest Success Tip for $$$.”

In this short post James reveals the number one tip that has catapulted him to massive internet marketing success.

Here is the entire Warrior Forum post by James Schramko:

I just noticed I joined here three years ago.

Back then I was working full time and trying to
figure it all out. I have since quit working for
someone else and have my own IM business.

I have several six figure business models running
now and this was only possible because of the
following action I took.

Since doing this one thing I have had several
six figure months.

Here it is:

** Get off all those email lists **

Yes - as soon as you unsubscribe from every crap
email list you will free up three hours a day and
you can get into creating products.

You will be able to implement many of the ideas
and training materials you have bought along the
way too!

Seriously - Your output will be inversely opposite
to the number of email lists you subscribe to.

Don’t fool your self into thinking you will miss an
important message or technique. Many marketers only
have one technique - greed.

Try it for a month and tell me what happens!

If you are like me and most internet marketers, you are on far too many email lists. And you probably spend countless hours every day reading emails and then going down a bottomless pit in search of the “Next Big Thing” from the latest Internet Marketing Guru.

Please Stop It . . . NOW!

Seriously. Takes James Schramko’s Million Dollar Advice and get off those mailing list. This simple, yet profound act will free your mind and allow you to focus on what is most important — and that is “Serving” your marketplace and building your business.

Stop looking for money makers and pick a market to serve. Get off of these internet marketing mailing lists and focus you time on delivering value to a group of people you want to have as customers.

Do you have any idea what a liberating feeling it is go to your computer every morning and see only two or three emails, instead of 20 to 25 emails that are nothing but affiliate promotions from a bunch of Internet Marketing Gurus who habitually promote products without reviewing or testing them?

I have made the business decision to listen to just a small, select group of “Professional” Internet Marketers. And this group consists of James Schramko, Jerry West, Michael Campbell and Gauher Chaudhry. Yes, there are a few more that are worthy. But in my book, this group is about as good as it gets. And what I admire most about these four great marketers is that “They all put their integrity ahead of their affiliate check.”

This collection of elite marketers will only promote products they have either tested or reviewed in great detail, and they only promote products they believe in. They are marketers with character — which rare in today’s “Internet Marketing Guru Crowd.”

Who you follow in this market is your business. But I will say this . . . . your productivity will increase threefold, if not more, if you get off all of those mailing list and pick just two or three Internet Marketing “Teachers” who have a history of delivering great content to their students.

Take James Schramko’s advice and try it for just one month — and watch your productivity skyrocket!

Seth Godin Headlining “High-Level” Internet Business Conference, Elite Retreat.

by admin on July 22, 2009

Jeremy Shoemaker (aka Shoemoney) has announced that Elite Retreat 2009 will be held in New York City on October 1st & 2nd.  Headlining this year’s event will be Seth Godin, the brilliant business and marketing mind and bestselling author of several outstanding books such as The Dip, Tribes, Purple Cow and Meatball Sundae.

In addition to Seth Godin, the speaker list at Elite Retreat will include:

  • Jeremy Shoemaker, Search Engine Marketing Expert.
  • Neil Patel, Internet Marketing and Social Media Consultant.
  • Chris Winfield, President of 10e20 and a Leading Social Media Marketing Expert.
  • Aaron Wall, Search Engine Optimization Maven.
  • Brian Norgard, VP at Fox Advertising Network and Co-Founder of Newroo (acquired by Fox in 2006).

What helps make Elite Retreat different from other seminars is that this is an exclusive event with a limited number of people allowed in the door.  Elite Retreat does this because they want each speaker to be able to “connect” with each attendee and help make a difference in each attendee’s business.

As an attendee, you will be part of a small group of serious entrepreneurs who will be able to discuss your most pressing business and marketing concerns with this panel of industry experts (who each charge at least $5000 an hour for private consultation).  You are encouraged to bring your business plan and/or business objectives with you.  The group will then dissect what you are doing, and with their proven business building strategies, help you make your business into a more valuable and profitable venture.

As Jeremy Shoemaker, the man behind Elite Retreat, says:  “This event does one thing; it solves problems for business’s and makes them more profitable.”

After the event there are weekly mastermind calls with past attendees who give presentations and discuss business and marketing strategies that you can use in your business.  And never underestimate the power of being in this kind of mastermind group, for these are committed, forward-thinking  entrepreneurs who are serious about helping you grow your business into a giant success.

Attending Elite Retreat does require an investment of $4995.  But keep in mind that this is high-level stuff and it is an investment in your business that will pay you dividends far in excess of the original cost.  And if for any reason you do not believe Elite Retreat lives up to what is promised, you will be issued a refund.  Your satisfaction is guaranteed.

Please note, this is for serious entrepreneurs only.  Attendance is limited to 50 people and Jeremy Shoemaker does screen each application to insure that the conference is a fit for you and your business.  In addition, Jeremy wants to be certain that the room is full of serious entrepreneurs who can add value to the event.  And that is a win-win for everyone.

To close this post, here is a short video of Seth Godin.  If you have never read Seth Godin or seen him speak, this will give you an idea of what you can expect at Elite Retreat.  It’s “Seth Godin on Social Networking.”

Click here to attend Elite Retreat 2009 and let these brilliant Internet Business Marketers help you take your business to that illusive next level.   But don’t delay because Elite Retreat always sells out, and as of this writing they are nearing full capacity.

Are You Concerned About Too Much Competition?

by admin on July 3, 2009

One of my favorite internet marketers is, without question, Jerry West.  Jerry is wicked smart and he is as honest as they come.  But what I probably like most about Jerry is that he gives you the rock-solid information without the hype.  And in this business that’s rare.

Today I was reading a post that Jerry put on his blog a couple weeks ago at SEO Revolution.  The title of the post is:  “But The Market Is Too Competitive.”

There is a valuable lesson in this post that will benefit any business owner operating in any market.   This post is about “Competition” and what you can do as a business owner to separate yourself from others in your market.

Here is a paragraph from the post that provides a summary of what Jerry had to say:

“Just because there is a lot of competition doesn’t mean that the competition is doing things right. Look for ways you can improve the market, look for “points of difference” that can set you apart in the mind of the customer.”

This post from Jerry has a very simple lesson, yet it is a lesson that can have a profound impact on your business.  I highly recommend that you spend a couple minutes reading the entire post.  And then ask yourself this question:  “What can I do right now to ‘Add Value’ to the customer and differentiate my business from the competition in the marketplace?”  And then continue to ask yourself that same question every single day.

Also, Internet Marketing Pro Michael Campbell sent an email to his list yesterday and informed his readers that Jerry West has reopened his private membership site at SEO Revolution.

Jerry is one of most respected SEO Marketers on the planet and he has over 500 domains in his lab that he uses for testing and SEO analysis.  And that is what makes Jerry such a powerful presence is the Internet Marketing Business.  Jerry offers advice and opinions not based on theory or what sounds intelligent.  Jerry’s thoughts and opinions are based on case studies and actual tests he has performed on his own domains.

The price for Jerry’s membership site is $100 a month.  However, if you are fortunate enough to subscribe to Michael Campbell’s excellent and free Internet Marketing Secrets Newsletter, you can get in for $75 a month at the time of this writing.

Get Inside The Brilliant Business Mind Of Rich Schefren.

by admin on June 18, 2009

Yes . . . . the “Guru to the Internet Marketing Gurus” is at it again.  On Thursday, June 18, 2009 Rich Schefren is doing a “Live Q&A Broadcast” where he will take your questions and discuss all things related to internet marketing from 12pm to 4pm Eastern Time.

Last year Rich did an amazing 28 hour Q&A session on live video where he answered just about every web business and internet marketing question under the sun.  Rich talked strategy, he talked tactics and he went deep into a topic that is near and dear to him — the “Constraints” that are keeping most entrepreneurs from reaching their full potential.

Now, I don’t expect a repeat performance from Rich.  That 28 hour marathon was amazing and I have over 15 pages of notes from that thing to prove it.  But I would not be surprised if Rich does exceed the four hour time frame he put on the June 18th Live Broadcast.

The bottom line is this . . . . you do not want to miss this opportunity to have your most pressing business question answered by one of the brightest minds in internet marketing.  I don’t care where you are in the development of your web business, you will learn something from Rich Schefren.  It’s impossible not to.

Be sure to register for a VIP seat.  This will give your questions priority and it will also make you eligible for some amazing prizes that Rich will be giving away during his “Live Video Broadcast.”  The prizes include some of his Business Building Programs (valued up to $5000) and a product he did with Jay Abraham (another $5000 product).

But that is not all, one lucky winner will have the opportunity to spend an entire day at Strategic Profits’ office with Rich Schefren and internet marketing maven Mike Filsaime.  This consultation has a value of at least $10,000.  Rich and Mike will spend the entire day with the winner, dissecting every aspect of his or her business.  And then, at the end of the day, they will hand the lucky winner a detailed “Road-map To Business Success.”

Just think, this could be you.

Register For VIP Access Here.

Even if you do not win a prize, you will still win by being able to listen to Rich Schefren talk business for a few hours.  There are no losers in this game.

By the way, in this live stream I’m sure that Rich will be referring to a free report he wrote called “The Uncertainty Syndrome:  The Entrepreneurial Emergency.”  You can download this 60 page report at StrategicProfits.com.  If you have not reached your full potential and you believe there is something that is holding you and your business back, you need to read The Uncertainty Syndrome.  This brilliant work from Rich Schefren has completely changed the way I “Think” and it has made and is continuing to make a dramatic impact on my business and my life.

The Uncertainty Syndrome:  The Entrepreneurial Emergency.

If you apply what Rich shares in this book your mind will move to a higher level.  And in the process, it will take your business and your life to another level.  It has my highest recommendation.
