When Family Members Attack - Interviews Gone WILD

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

OK - It’s Saturday and I’m “roughing” it in a little, small, tiny, miniscule, puny town in Alabama. Did I mention the town I’m in isn’t very big? Anyway, I’m here for a family reunion - don’t laugh. Some of us have to be lucky enough to have some roots in Alabama ;-)

So, why am I telling you all this? It’s quite simple really. If you’re anything you like me, you probably have a family…if not, I’m sure you have somebody you consider family anyway. And if you have family I’m sure you’ve had your fair share of arguments, fights, and problems.

BUT - as family always does - we just keep on going and usually just forget about it.

So what’s my point? It’s simple. I decided that because I had all my family together in one place, I’d start interviewing them for your enjoyment. I tried to get them to stay on target and talk about marketing, websites, and all that fun stuff…but they wouldn’t really have it.

If you’re looking for cutting edge marketing tips - you won’t find it here. However, if you want a good chance to laugh and have a little fun, this might just be the best thing you can do for yourself.

I was trying to conduct interviews as family wandered in and out, and no one seemed to take it quite “seriously” enough for me - as family may tend to do sometimes.

I haven’t landed an interview yet my my Mom and Aunts, but I’m trying. I still have 2 days left…so don’t count me out yet. I figured I wanted you to see a little more of the “insider” life I live. Anyone can show their successes and remain professional at all times. It takes someone special (just how special I don’t know) to release interviews gone wild. But hey, what have I got to lose besides a little dignity and maybe a sale or two? ;-)

So - with no further ado - for your viewing pleasure, you can listen in on my first 2 “family interviews”. Stay tuned for more to come as I try to get a sit down with my own Mom - if I can get her to talk into the microphone it’s sure to be a real treat. And you’ll definitely love my Aunts - they’re a real hoot.

In one of the audios below I tried as hard as I could to get my Aunt Carolyn to talk to me - but she wouldn’t budge. But I won’t give up! I still have 2 days left, as I’ve already said.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Because I am a marketer, I have to give you a link to click on. Umm, let’s see here. Would you mind if I gave you two links?

Seriously though - check these out - but listen to the interviews first!

Awaken The Writer Within
Party Like A Rock Star

Interview 1 - I attempt to interview my cousin Lucinda about an online
business she is starting. She’s trying to sell some kind of baby shower gift,
but being a guy - I’m a little dense on the idea!

Interview 2 - I don’t really remember what I was trying to do here, but basically
it ended up with a smörgåsbord of my family members interrupting. Pay special
attention to my cousin Carmen who makes a grand appearance

Enjoy, and look for more later!

How To Awaken The Writer Within

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

OK, I’ll admit. I market products on the internet. Most of the time when I write to you I have an ulterior motive. Yes, in the back of my mind, somewhere deep in my psyche, I believe that maybe…just maybe…you might want to buy something from me.

There, I said it! Now I feel one thousand times better. I remember a conversation I had with Alex Mandossian a couple months ago where he shared what he tells people to get them to sign up for his teleseminars. He basically tells his prospects that’s he’s going to do his best to try and persuade you to buy his product. How’s that for honesty, huh?

Anyway, why am I saying all this? What’s my point?

Before you read the rest of the story, listen to this short audio:

One year ago I hadn’t yet made one penny online, except a few cents from Google Adsense. I then started promoting a product and did quite well with it. I then promoted another product, and did VERY well. Then this year, things started exploding! I made over $3,000 in a single day. Once, in about 2 weeks time I generated over $68,000. Not bad, if I do say so myself.

BUT!

I have a secret weapon. I have something that most people don’t have.

All the time people ask me, what’s the difference between you and me? How come whenever I try to sell something online, I end up getting nowhere! Why does everything I try just NOT WORK!

There is an answer to that, and it lies in what you’re reading right now. WORDS! That’s the truth. That’s my secret weapon. I use words to motivate people (maybe even you) to take action. I’ve been given a gift to write, and to write pretty well.

Even when I was a kid, teachers would commend me on my writing. Once, I was even accused of plagiarizing because the teacher couldn’t possibly believe I wrote such a “smart” sounding essay. I had to have my teacher from the year before vouch for me!!

But, I know you don’t care about all that. You want to know why I’m sharing this with you and what in the world it has to do with you. Well, let me be frank.

You’re never going to make money online, if you don’t write well. 99% of marketing is writing. From preparing your sales letter, crafting your email follow-up, even finding potential JV partners, you MUST be able to write. Now, I’m not saying you have to be an Ernest Hemingway…but you must know some fundamentals.

So, I thought what better way to improve your writing then to get taught by a New York Times Best Selling Author? I don’t know if you’ve tried lately, by finding a Best-Selling author isn’t easy. They aren’t exactly out there looking for work, because, well, they have plenty going on already.

But, I kept my eyes open and guess what? I found one! His name is Jim McMullen and he’s the NY Best Selling Author of the book Cry Of The Panther. His book actually spent some time at the # 16 spot!! Not bad for a book most people though wouldn’t even get published.

I wanted Jim to share some of his secrets with you. He reveals the EXACT strategies he used to write his HIT book, as well as inspiration and motivation to create your own published book if you so choose.

His method reveals how you can write:

  • Fiction Books/Novels
  • Non-Fiction Books
  • Short Stories
  • Screenplays
  • Scripts
  • Poetry
  • Plays
  • E-books
  • Essays
  • Dissertations
  • Articles
  • Information Guides
  • Even Advertisements!

I used his methods to improve my Copywriting, email marketing, and even increase my business bottom line.

And the best part is, he doesn’t make you do boring writing exercises, or think about grammar, vocabulary, and all the mundane stuff you learned in 8th grade. He shares time-tested secrets that really and truly Awaken The Writer Within yourself. And once this happens, you’ll be amazed and blown away by how easy it is to write.

If you wanted to, you could use his secrets to write your own completed book in less than 30 days.

So, if you are looking for:

How to write a book
Writing tips

Make money with your writing

Even write articles, dissertations, ebooks,
