    Holy Grail to Influence and Persuasion… Millionaire Makers!

    Steven from Warriorforum today asked a question… What is the Holy Grail to Influence? What is the one skill that you can master and make a lot of money? I had to see what he was talkinmg about… so I checked it out. He was talking about this ad…


    Have you ever tried to focus on something important when some unimportant garbage is sitting right besides your desk screaming for attention? Were you able to focus?

    We all crave… literally CRAVE things that engage our mind. Things that capture our attention. Someone yelling like a madman with so much enthusiasm might not do them much good apart from the fact that they’ve grabbed attention.

    Hitler once had an ad campaign built by a lady who knew not much about Nazi’s. The reason that ad worked like blockbusters was that all it did was capture attnetion, and retain it. At one point of time, that blatant, useless, low on informational value ad was being shown in theatres across the country.

    Then, we all need the feeling of security. Its a basic one.

    When something/someone has our attention captured, we are VERY susceptible to their influence.

    Then, this ad also gives them hope. That they can talk while they drive AND be secure at the same time. Though its a bunch of baloney of course… Mental engagement is what causes accidents more often than phones falling off our hands. People crave hope all the time. We all do.

    Then, there’s the “It’s not your fault” mentality people have. I have it too. I never want to be blamed for anything that goes wrong.

    Then there’s justification. We all tend to follow people that justify our failures and actions. Deep down we all know talking while driving isn’t the best thing to do. So anyone that justifies that we’re doing it becomes a leader.

    Then there’s a mass market- anyone that drives a car and uses a cell phone has to have 20 bucks. And crave security. And hope that they can talk while they drive and still be safe. Then there’s justification for something that deep down they all feel guilty about. Notice carefully how the words to the tune of “Do you feel guilty…” are carved within the first few seconds. And who can forget the attnetion grabbing power of all-time yelling Bill?

    Lots of things.

    Those that are looking for a holy grail… well… all the best.

    There isn’t one aspect of marketing that you can’t screw up and still be successful as long as you have their attention.

    This ad certainly isn’t a timeless masterpiece… just one of those successful ads out of many. Probably Makes millions? Hell yeah. But millions are chump change at that level. remember relativity?

    Get their attention, and influence them through some mechanisms. Not all are required… You aren’t asking someone to forsake their lives… just 20 odd bucks here.

    And since its just 20, he doesn’t build value… he jumps right into the “Buy Me” mode. He certainly drives home the point that this is something I’d need. But does that mean I’d insist to buy only his product if I can find something similar at a local store? Nah…

    Subtle persuasion… mass following is just not there. Just goes on to prove you can screw up marketing and still be successful

    A Little Eleven Year Old Had Me In Tears On That Monday- Part 2 of 2

    ***If you have not totally read the part 1 to this life altering story, please read it here…

    http://lakshaybehl.com/a-little-eleven-year-old-had-me-in-tears-on-that-monday-part-1-of-2/time-management/

    ****

     

    So, he immediately reached out to the drawer next to his bed and took put what looked like money. Oh… yeah. I soon realized it was actually money. Now… I was beginning to get frustrated. He already had the money. And he needed more?

     

    I had to ask him… “What are you going to do with this money…”

     

    But before I could complete my question, Sarthak was already on his feet and held out in his hand all the money he had saved. He held it out for me. His head was filled with pride. And he was beaming like never before.

     

    You will be shocked to hear what he had to say to me…

     

    “Brother! Here are a hundred dollars. I want to buy an hour of your time. Can you please play with me today because I am unwell and I have nothing to do?”

     

    OH…

     

     

     

    MY…

     

     

    ….

     

    GAWWWD…

     

     

    ….

     

     

    What was happening?

     

    The kid’s been saving up money from his candy money for weeks and now he wants to give it to me so that I could spend an hour playing with him?

     

    I was in tears.

     

    I mean… sulking like a little girl. This is like… BAD. I had been bad.

     

    I was making money so I could get the best things for my brother and my family… well, apart from the things I’d buy for myself.

     

    But you know this right? We want to make money not just for ourselves, but for the people we love.

     

    And sadly, once we start getting involved in Internet Marketing, we stop spending time with our families.

     

    Trust me- a lot of my friends who are successful internet marketers have the same problem. In fact this problem of not being able to spend time with one’s family is so universal that nearly everyone who’s successful AND everyone who aspires to be successful… in any area of life, profession or business, is suffering from it.

     

    There are a few exceptions here and there, and we call them stars.

     

    These are the people that have the life managed. These are the people that seem to have it all. They find time for themselves, and their family and friends. They find time to have fun, and yet they excel in their careers.

     

    How cool is that?

     

    One thing I realized that night was this… I am going to make money online… oh yeah. But I will not end up being a slave to my computer. I mean- I will never do that. I want to be able to spend time with whom so ever I want, whenever I want.

     

    I want to go places on a whim.

     

    I want to have the time to get intimate with someone…

     

    I want to be able to talk to people and help them out.

     

    I want to be able to have time to create. And procreate.

     

    To work on my body and my health. To work out. To swim.

     

    I want to achieve inner greatness at the same time.

     

    And I am sure you want to do all of that too, right?

     

    The problem I found was this… and this one’s a big one. You have ONLY 24 hours in a day. And time is not elastic. I mean, you can’t stretch it to 25 hours. You just can’t. You have squeeze everything in.

     

    And that’s a problem right?

     

    So I set out to find a solution for that problem that very day. Actually, as you will uncover in a few days, I have been finding ways to manage time and life for a long period of time now. But the actual break through comes only when you have a clear cut vision of your problem along with its implications, right?

     

    So, in the next few days I will be messaging you to tell you the solutions that worked for me. But before I do that, I would really appreciate it if you could post if you’ve faced moments like this in your life. You don’t have to give out details… just tell me how you felt.

     

    I appreciate you taking the time to read this.

    A Little Eleven Year Old Had Me In Tears On That Monday- Part 1 of 2

    Mondays are always extra special to me. Because it was a fine, hot Monday morning when an eleven year old kid… who had me in tears… taught me the biggest lesson I had learned in my life- EVER!

     

    I want to share with you something that happened to me on 18th August, 2008. It was a Monday. A rather hot Monday morning… that was.

     

    It was the time when my online business was finally kicking off… and I had my first taste of financial freedom. I had woken up at 4 A.M. in the morning to see what my PayPal account showed, and I realized I had made nearly seven hundred dollars while I was sleeping. Pretty cool, eh?

     

    One can get used to that kind of feeling, right?

     

    Well, even though I am thankful for all the money I make and all the bliss I am blessed with… it wasn’t that big of a deal to me… because I was already doing numbers like that. Nothing new… No new milestones had been reached. You know… getting on with your life and stuff.

     

    I started working up right then and there… Creating a new marketing Campaign, and gearing up to create a new product in another niche that I had already selected. And got totally engrossed into creating it.

     

    Now- please keep in mind it was 4 A.M… almost an hour and a half ahead of the dawn. And I was already working- like a mad scientist… like a crazy marketing stalker… and I know most people laugh at me when I do that today… but I have the last laugh (if you know what I mean ;-) )

     

    ==> Come Dawn, Lakshay doesn’t wake up still…

     

    Hours went past me… and I didn’t even realize when it was dawn and everyone in my family was already up. In case you didn’t know- I am a 20 year old engineering student and I live with my family… parents and a little brother who happens to be the villain in my story (or was he a… what do you call… hero?)

     

    ==> Almost 8 AM

     

    Sunlight filled my room… and it was getting pretty hot. I mean… SWEATY hot. (And no… keep it down you, nothing crazy happening…Whoa! Can’t you get your mind to focus on anything beyond that just for a moment…. duh! We’re supposed to have a business conversation here lol)… I was still at it. My marketing campaign that is.

     

    The AC remote control was a little bit far away, so I’d have to get up and turn it on. And I was so totally engrossed in creating that campaign that I couldn’t possibly get up! You know- its like the full immersion HD movie that we watch sometimes. Or that deep, gossipy conversation with the old school buddy that you phone after years…. that kind of immersed.

     

    And then walks in the *little devil*

     

    Or shall I say… REAL DEVIL?

     

    My brother, Sarthak, who was 11 at that time, hadn’t gone to school. He was feeling unwell and had a little stomach ache. Wearing his crazy red pajamas, the little soldier walks up to me, and tugs my arm.

     

    I didn’t pay any attention.

     

    He pulls me harder… This time he manages to get me to mistype…

     

    I warned… “Sarthak!!!”

     

    He says something to me in Hindi… “Bhai! Ek Minute Baat sunoge please?” (Brother, can you listen to me for a minute please?)

     

    I was beginning to get annoyed…

     

    “Wait a minute.”

     

    He didn’t leave. Still clinging on to my arm.

     

    “I mean I’ll talk to you after a while when I am free.”

     

    I knew I was being rude… but I couldn’t let go of the computer… too many good ideas running through my head. So just then I decided to excite him while staying within the domain of what I had in my head… “Hey! Check this out. I made seven hundred last night… no wait… almost a grand by now. COOOOOLLLL!”

     

    He said nothing. Somehow I felt like he wasn’t being happy. And I wanted to talk to him, heck I had been wanting to talk to him for quite a few days now… it’d been weeks since we played and spend time with each other… you know?

     

    I said… “OK. What?”

     

    “Brother, how much do you make every hour?”

     

    I was SCHOCKED.

     

    …OF ALL THINGS, he had to ask THIS? What the hell!!!

     

    “Shut Up! Can’t you do the math? I made a grand in the last ten hours so that’ll be a hundred bucks an hour. Jesus!

     

    … And now you get lost from here… I am crazy busy.”

     

    You know, what he did?

     

    ==> He didn’t leave

     

    He wouldn’t budge…

     

    You could tell he had something on his mind. Something… kinda freaky. You can always tell… if he behaves strangely with me, you know he’s up to something and its mostly my fault”.

     

    He shot back… “Please give me sixty dollars then, will you?” I could see it in his eyes… he really was longing for it.

     

    But why the hell did he have to disturb me in the middle of my work? I was busy… and I have told him not to disturb him while I am busy. This holds true even today. And he always complied… well, except for this particular situation.

     

    Now… I was not only annoyed, I could feel that I was losing touch with my original train of thought… one that I had going while creating the campaign… one that had me full of ideas.

     

    I could feel I had lost ideas.

     

    I could feel they were just slipping away… great ideas at that.

     

    ==> And now I was ANGRY.

     

    I mean really, really angry. This little whacko couldn’t just go to Mom and ask for money? Couldn’t his urge for getting into his spending spree wait for an hour or two?

     

    I yelled at him…

     

    “Sarthak! GET LOST or I’ll kill you! You are a MORON! Have you no idea how difficult… Just get lost already.

     

    AND DONT COME BACK”

     

    Poor kid… I knew he was being dejected. But I couldn’t care less. He’d cost me all my ideas…. I had spent all morning getting them.

     

    But a part of me wanted to apologize. I knew he was sad, and a part of my heart did not like the sight I had just seen. I knew things were wrong.

     

    And then… within ten minutes I knew I had been harsh. Instead I should have just asked him what he needed the money for.

     

    I realized that a little kid doesn’t know the value of money. And probably his happiness lies more in the little toy car he wants for himself than me making thousands. Heck… the kid hasn’t even started trying to figure out girls just yet.

     

    And to top it all… he was unwell. Been having pains in his stomach all weekend. I AM A MORON!

     

    I felt like crying… and I knew I was at fault here. So I just pulled out my wallet, and walked into his room.

     

    ==> He was CRYING.

     

    I mean not “crying” crying. He wasn’t making noises. Instead… he was just sobbing. Tears were definitely there. He’s eleven… well… twelve now, and will not appreciate it if he knew I am telling you about this. So there you go..

     

    I just sat next to him, and he immediately sat up. Looked at me. I couldn’t look into his eyes.

     

    (By the way you might have realized by now that my little brother means A LOT to me. I mean A LOT. Like… more than everyone else.)

     

    I said to him …

     

    “Sorry. Here..”

     

    And I handed out the sixty.

     

    ==> IMMEDIATELY

     

    Immediately his eyes lit up. He was happy in a moment.

     

    I mean… how easy it is to satisfy little kids. They are so full of life, aren’t they?

     

    And just then, something happened that changed my life forever.

     

    Something… that completely overthrew my thought process. That forced me to see the FAULT in my Internet Business.

  • How to make money Online?

    Hi All…

    I know the idea of $100/day sells around a lot in this IM industry. And I am a very obsessive product buyer, though I do not post testimonials onto methods that would “seemingly” work. I actually try to work them. Some work, most don’t. At least for me… but what do I know?

    I get a lot of email’s… well at least a few. From people seeking help. People new to the game… Trying to make money. Wanting to make money. Truly Wanting. And the Law of Attraction has seemingly not caught up with them… [I]YET.[/I] They want coaching… they want guidance, and they want mentoring. I don’t blame them! What I am surprised greatly with is– Everyone has nearly the same dream. Same goal. As I explain below…

    $100/day.
    Without much investment.
    In Passive Income.
    Without a lot of effort.
    Which is scalable…
    And outsourcable.

    (Any thing left? :D ) Oh yeah.. Of course. Consistency.

    Don’t know what “the Secret” does to the minds of people… But I don’t recall, in my dim memory of the film if they ever spoke about not taking massive action.

    Evidently, “Effortfree” is taken to be “Action Free”.

    Cool. [B].[/B]

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

    When I was making $100 a day, I was working over 10 hours a day, and it was not easy. There was a lot at stake, and I had (rather seemingly) burned my bridges. And it was never consistent. It still ain’t.

    Somedays, I made $200… others, $0.

    Some months- $5K, and others $500.

    See? It’s business. Not a job. Income can never be fixed. Although more or less might be the term. To me the idea of $100 should probably sound silly… But it still does not. Not as easy.

    I was thinking the other day of trying to show how to make a consistent $100/day to someone who had didly squat to invest, and here’s how many ways I found…. ZERO. Zilch. Nada. I couldn’t find a way to make money without spending it… either on education or business tools.

    [B]Everyone wants a business that will make them a “Passive” $100 a day so they can make an “Extra” $36K this year, and have all the time in the world to scale up their business. And outsource. Without investing a single dime ever[/B].

    [B][U]And I must admit- the idea is ridiculously lucrative.[/U][/B]

    Even to me… I might not make seven figures this year but will make enough to keep me happy, and buy me whatever I want. And trust me- I don’t want a lot of things… apart from shiny cars and houses. ;)

    Now- the idea of $100 per day is very cool. Yes, it surely is. Without investing a single dollar. But know this, friends…

    If you make money with things that keep you busy… like Article Marketing, or blogging… well then, say goodbye to your “Extra” and “Passive” income dream.

    On the other hand- if you’d like to make an extra $100/day on “Autopilot”… be prepared to outsource… A LOT. And it still won’t be autopilot, though much more easily scalable to $1K/day level. And if you haven’t already guessed, outsourcing will take money. And expect to spend some considerable amount of money– maybe $10K. Maybe less, I don’t know… I wasted $20K on courses before I made a dime… Maybe I am too bad. Too slow. Too dumb. Who cares? I have fought and I have won my battles (and lost many) . But for you… I’d say $10K might not be possible to invest right now.

    Then, is it impossible to make money online?

    Rather not… But I’d love to see a method which can make me $100/day on autopilot, without a lot of work, can be scaled up to $1000/day or more easily, and doesn’t take a lot of investment. And by investment— I do mean to include time. I can not wait around for 8 months to get to $100 per day.

    Here’s why I am asking you of such a thing… In my experience it doesn’t exist. The methods that made me $100/day… well I don’t work them now. And yes, I have seen people rarely have the patience to work that long without seeing rewards… People want rewards… They think linearly. “If I am to make $100/day in 3 months, then at the end of the month I should be doing $33 a day or else it’s all a scam”.

    It doesn’t work that way , folks.

    The other day, I got a call from a bloke around my city. Nice man, actually. Very warm… very gentle. he wanted to make a modest $1000 a month, problem is he has lost his 28 years job and although he does have a good amount of money in reserve, he can’t survive a lifetime on it. So the idea of a $1000/month was very enchanting. I told him like it is—

    1. You need to work 6 hours a day, 5 days a week.
    2. You need to invest $2000 initially.
    3. You need to follow instructions without hesitation.
    4. My fees is $3k upfront and 6 months of revenue sharing. I told him that making $2K per months is almost equally simple so he’d still end up making $1K per month for those six months… maybe more, and I’d also have a vested interest which works in favour of both parties.

    He was VERY interested… And I mean… VERY.

    UNTIL….

    Until I told him that he needed to keep on working on it even after he had reashed his goal… and keep on it forever. That hit him like AVADA KEDAVRA. Like CRUCIO. Like I had said something that made me a murderer.

    He shot back, with anger in his eyes… Why would I like to keep working on it if I am investing $K into it?

    I could tell… the idea of working on it- 6 hours a day was biting into him like a SECTUMSEMPRA charm (Apologies for my overtly Wizardly behavior… and if I were to blame someone I’d rather blame Madam Rowling than me).

    I told him coolly… (I had lost all my prospects of closing that deal with him… Knew that)… That it was [I]HIS[/I] idea to stay at home and make money.

    I just got a mail from him today… He’d joined his old job at $900/month. He had told me earlier it was 8 hours a day, 6 days a week. Think about it. And with New Delhi traffic, I’d assume an extra 2 hours everyday commuting. When he could have stayed at home, made more money, and worked a lot less. Idea of investment was killing him… Maybe I am the only stupid that goes around buying so many courses and tools that I find everything at my disposal as soon as I have an idea on how to use it.

    But I was not angry… or mad or frustrated or even tense. For this was my umpteenth such meeting. Although I must admit I really wanted to work with this person… I had taken an instant liking to him.

    But the point I am trying to make is- You will need to spend time AND money. If you do not plan to invest money, well then be prepared to put in a lot of time. LOT. Lest you be one of those that never made a dime online and Failed.  Most of them didn’t fail at achieving something that was possible… they failed even before they began.

    For no such thing exists as they seeked.

    As I said, I’d love to have that beast. [I]If [/I]it existed.

    And I end my message with a challenge… If there’s someone who could show me how to make $100/day within a month, without having me invest over $100 in first place and 12-14 hours per week. Maybe even 16, but then it bols down to skill, doesn’t it? And I am not a skilled writer, or painter or marketer… I am just me.. a normal bloke with no magic powers, or Jenius(TM, FK, ahem!), and most importantly show me those methods that could be scaled to $1000/day in 6 months whilst reinvesting less than half my income, I’d be prepared to give them $5K. $5K… Not too much of a pain for me, but I’d love to see such a method, for it would allow me to have many more smiling students. And certainly $5K is not a small amount of money for anyone… whether it’s Obama or Reese (Withersiee). At least from their personal banks. Or at least their chipped income would suggest! Of course not all upfront… maybe lets put it at $1K upfront.

    And I am serious. Dead serious. But there has to be a security for me as well, isn’t it? If I don’t make that amount of money whilst spending time and following instructions, the coach would be responsible to double that money back. No fine print.

    Maybe people will shout at me for saying all this to you… I don’t care. It’s just not possible, unless you go Grey Hat or Black Hat. Not even with CPA. And definitely not PPC with a small budget of $100. I burned over $3K before I ever turned a profit on PPC… a $10 profit approximately on a $100 investment. It was VERY hard. Don’t worry about the challenge too much though. Worry about yourself, especially if you want to make money online and aren’t making a full time income yet. There is definitely no free lunch as a lot of sales pitches will have you believe. AT least not without stealing in some form.

    I hope I might have set your expectations right. A Lot of time is required. Even if you have money to invest. And a lot to learn. There is a steep learning curve to it. And if you include learning time into your 3 hours a day, you’d have no time left for actual business.

    -Lakshay

    P.S. Oh. And by the way- I don’t have anything to sell you. Sorry. I know I made an impressive pitch at least on minds that value “Karma”. But then I think I offered like– 2products in the IM niche… And sold just about … 22 copies of my thingies. Impressive, huh? But I am not an IM bloke… You know, Kern and Reese are much more presentable  and palatable than I am… I resemble more or less Dumbledore [I]without a shirt[/I]. If you know what I mean. ;) . I am not exactly friendly… or mushy mushy. And I displease with ease. IM is not for me. Now don’t come running to my blog commenting and accusing me of having scammed you. ;)

    P.P.S. I don’t blame Mr. X… he was just not prepared to invest… And I know most aren’t. Althought he had money, he lacked confidence to burn his bridges and move into this battle. IM is not the easiest of the things as pitches would love to have to believe… or else we might not have been seeing all these cries to the attain the “Silver Horcrux” that magically eats away failure. Burn your birdges. Now or never. Accept this? If not, you aren’t ready to market on the Internet, yet. At least IMO.

    Lazy Behl!- Dream Internet Marketing Lifestyle sucks.

     …
    OK Guys! You know I have been real lazy. I don’t even know who I am writing this to as there are not very many people who read my blog regularly.  But I still write this post just to let you know (cuz if you are reading it, then at least some one is reading it.. and that makes me feel really good.) that I have been lazy like the Greek Gods when it comes to blogging and social networking and you know what– It cost me business! It cost me an insane amount of credibility I could have had, Had I been blogging for a year continuously. Seriously- a 20 year old lazy fart– Simply unacceptable.

     

    Part of my laziness can be attributed to the dream I am support- almost promoting. The dream is called lazy money. And sadly or merrily, I do definitely believe in the thing. Just don’t know why- But I feel if I can be lazy and make money,m what’s the point in being active. Well here are the results-

     

     Dream Internet Marketing Lifestyle sucks

    As you can see, I’ve become largely overweight. I find it too much of a hassle to put on a shirt and work. All I am wearing is a set of Pajamas. Torn sideways as I carelessly walked alongside a nail that stick out. I am pretty hairy, but it gets too bad when I don’t shave for a week. And you know what? I haven’t combed my hair in what seems to be an eternity. The only physical activity was a walk to the shower, and a lazy lumpiness in the pool.

     

    I made good money today! More than my girlfriend would believe anyway- so I will not even dare to tell her. She might leave me for someone more “honest”. And if that’s your idea of a dream IM lifestyle, too bad! I am tired of pretending to be tired when I am not.

     

    I always thought the idea of being lazy, and not doing anything to make money was cool. Which I still do– I make money without working a lot, but what’s the point?

     

    I am a literal mess at the moment. I have at least 200 ideas jotted down on paper that I could turn into cash instantly, and I have had over 190 of them for a year now. Maybe some of them are no longer sound thanks to the pace of things on the Internet. But I can safely say that some of these would have required a bit of my time and energy in their implementation which is what scared me to no end.

     

    But the big question is – WHY?

     

    As a kid and a young adolescent, I have always been a pretty active and sort of workaholica-nerdy chap. And I liked myself that way! I spent m,ost of my time hogging the limelight somewhere, but now the only light that falls onto my face is that that comes from my computer screen. There was a point of time when all my teachers and coaches said that I bring along a stream of energy with me- focused as a beam that would make me very successful. And now, as of today, my present coach is tired of giving me new things to work upon and I am not working those methods? You know, one of those methods that I should have been working on right now is sitting on the sidelines while I play a quick round of GTA.

     

    I don’t take drugs, nor do I drink… I don’t even smoke, but I am in danger!

     

    I am in danger of losing the very aspects of my persona that made me a real enticing person who could influence quite a few people and make them take action almost scarily immediately. People told me I had a way to charm others into “doing” things. Which is what got me so far in my life and so close to unleashing my true potential.

     

    But… and this one’s a big, saggy, flabby BUTT that sways left and right.

     

     

    I AM LOSING MY MIDAS TOUCH.

     

    As my income increases, and I continue to build on assets, I feel like I am missing a part of myself… But I still fail to realize what it could be.

     

    As I build strategy for businesses- my own and my clients’, I feel I have left something behind… something whose absence is dreadful to put it mildly, but I can’t pin point what it is!

     

    And that is what I need your help with– (I am fully aware that this blog is not getting a lot of attention these days, and I will definitely do something to get some traffic going here… Not a big deal, right?), but I need you to help me pin point what that missing element of my personality is.

     

    And more importantly- how can I re-gain it?

     

    Post your answers below- in the form of comments. I might not be able to reply to each one of them, but I will certainly read them all.

     

    I know, I know- you probably don’t have the time to type out a few lines for a lazy old overweight kid back home in India, so here’s the deal… and this one’s real exciting… Sit tight…

     

    I have been accused in the past, more so in the very recent past- of not being able to produce and sell a product outside of internet marketing arena. And you know what- it blows. Real Hard. Especially when it comes from people who are neither your customers, nor your friends or acquaintances. They claim to know better about me, and I think its high time to put an end to the rumor mills. Behl ain’t taking it not-so-seriously, girlies!

     

    So I decided to put an end to these mysteries surrounding myself and create a little plugin for Wordpress that really helps people with their business. Regardless of what you do online, if you have a business of any sort, this little plugin will help you. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE WORDPRESS AT THE MOMENT.

     

    I will talk more about this plugin in my next post, but what it really does is this- It turns any regular wordpress blog into a Perpetual Launch Machine that only spirals up your credibility. Right now we are in the Beta mode and I will be releasing it to the members of my premium Ultra Achiever memberships only. No outsiders at all. At any retail price. Not even $197. So no offers to buy this one please! Of course you can join Ultra Achiever membership when we are ready to open doors in July. But I’ll be accepting only 100 members so if you are not one of my subscribers, make sure you do sign up at http://www.listemi.com/youtube/

     

    What I plan to do is- throw in 2 copies of this plugin for people who make comments below and tell me what is it that I am missing and how exactly can I go about getting it.

     

    Now, please be specific. I know there’s just one way to deal with laziness and that is to take action. But do keep in mind that I am already taking massive action at some level. Every few days we are coming out with new products, and new services. And we have a lot of people working with us, so that we are working. And cruising with a great momentum as well. But what I am looking for is something related to my own life that I could reclaim. And please, fell free to list any resources below, even if that means a link to your websites.

     

    If I find one of your replies to be perfect for my case, I will send a copy of my Perpetual launch Plugin your way along with the tutorial videos only my members get access to.

     

    So, thanks for taking the time…

    Learning From The TV Ads

    I was watching the crazy late night infomercials yesternight… Like I always do. Just that all the time they have been totally invisible, and there playment (Is that a word?) in my bedroom is because of the sheer fact that I love keeping my big, larger than life sized TV on. It might sound weird, but having that big lump of LCD shout into my face actually turns me on. Yes, it does. Of man! I am kinda embarrassed to admit this…

    Viral Content Production Leverage Gonna Be Lazy Anymore!

    Okay gang!

    I cough it up. For the past few weeks I have been fairly lazy. Not been posting on the blog… not sending emails to you guys, not doing anything much related to Internet Marketing, in fact nothing at all. Excfept building a small tiny list of a few thousand subscribers. Now, for many people that’s not vene the dust-off of their list. Many people have hundreds of thousands of customers-not just subscribers on their lists.

    But there is a reason for most of the stuff I do (or do not do). And here’s why I have been so passive in the IM community. I have been secretly working on many smaller niches. And I had once made a resolution sometime back that I would make a million dollars in cash on the internet by selling info products to other smaller niches which have nothing to do with IM before I do anything in the IM niche at all. You can read about it here.

    And right now, I am pretty darned close. I have made six different websites in six different niches using six different aliases (Why I use pen-names is another topic for discussion later on) on over 30 different domains. These include blogs, vlogs, sales sites, homepages and squeeze pages. And my goal is to create an income systrem that not only makes a million dollars once, but keeps making almost a similar amount of money over and over again- On complete autopilot. So that I can go back to the party (Yippee..)

    By the way, you should probably know that I hate the word retirement, and here’s why.

    I think I will achieve my goal of six figures a month on autopilot (which is OVER a million dollars every year on autopilot) by the end of June-give or take. Currently, therse websites are producing over 10K visitors everyday- not a lot, but quite a lot for making some cool money with. And I believe this will be done in just these six niches I have initiated. The backbone strategy is to build a list free of cost and fast.

    Here are some of the BOOSTERS I will be incorporating:-

     Viral Content Production Leverage: Content production on steroids.

    On the internet, content is EVERYTHING. The marketer will the best content and the maximum content DISTRIBUTION will make most money. I know there is a big misconception in people’s minds- They are constantly thinking about producing more and mroe content even if it is not high quality content.

    You see the small guy way to do things is to create content and distribute it on the internet MANUALLY. You can write 5 articles every day which will be seen by just 25 people- Someone else can write one JAM PACKED video which will be seen by 20,000 people. Guess who will be the winner?

    I KNOW people think this way- that’s the mindset. Well, if that really is your mindset then you really are not familiar with the internet. The internet allows you to put content creation on steroids. Its simple- Create a piece of content. Like a blog post or a PDF or a video or a podcast or a live show or a teleseminar or a webinar. Post it somewhere anyone can see it provided they post join your list. And have incentives for them if they post more content as a reply to your content.

    This incentive could be anything-  Cash, Gift Certificates, Adwords promo codes, OR MORE IMPORTANTLY one of your own digital products. Now I don’t expect you to give away a $500 course to everyone that posts a comment on your blog, but I do expect you to do this:

    1.  Create some useful content

    2. Then towards the end of your presentation, ask a CREATIVE question related to the sub-topic. Let them know that you will be selecting the comment you like the best every week, or every day or every ten days (It depends upon how much traffic you are getting- Ideally you will find something new in some of their replies that you feel is a good tactic or a new strategy that can help YOU- you reward this person. the more immidiate the reward, the more the response rate) and rewarding them be giving full access to you XXX.

    3. Find a way to drive lots of cheap traffic to your site. Videos work for you? Do 4 videos a day instead of just 2 that you normally do. Or find a way to cheaply automate the video generation process.

    What heppens next is this- They come over, subscribe, get to your blog, find value in your content. By the time they reach the end of your initiation content, they are already thinking that this guy produces great content, so I should probably check out some of his products out and BAM- you tell them they can have your BEST product for free… they are all over the place wanting to post content on your blog.

    And this is the content that you didn’t have to lift a finger for getting created, and its all unique to your blog. Guess what? You reward only some of them people- whose content you find the best and the most intersting.

    Through this strategy, I was just trying to get you to think about some out-of the box marketing ideas for content creation, which I am sure you have now. Actually, it will be intersting to see how this works. So if you do something like this on your blog, and get this kind of viral content creation into motion, do let me know.

    Now continuing with my self-propagation agenda here… I will soon be doing a seminar in Austin, Texas for you guys. Basically you will walk in with your laptops on a Friday a newbie with some marketing info, and on Monday evening you will walk out with automatic list building on steroids.

    My list building on steroids mechanism is this- Building a list of subscribers and customer rapidly, and for free.

    Currently I drive over 300 opt-ins a day to all my lists combined. And while this does require me to spend some money on advertising, I make that money back almost immidiately. Its pretty much like I spend 500 dollars every morning, and in the evening I get back 600 to 700 dollars PLUS 300 subscribers PLUS 20 customers on my lists. On complete autpilot.

    I know people spending as much as $300 a day everyday to acquire a subscriber on their lists who go on to make back their investment after a month- AFTER A MONTH after the subsciber opts-in.

    Now that’s just an example and of course you can do much more than just 300 subscribers a day with $500 a day budget (Which also happens to be $1000 monthly. yes, $1K monthly. And my Math is not too bad! I will show you how that is done in a few days on this blog).

    So if that is something you MIGHT be interested in, then subscribe to the RSS of Lakshay Behl’s blog by clicking here.

    For now, this is all I have to say.
