Willie Crawford Reveals How To Earn 7 Figure Income Online!

Here's the body of this week's issue of Limitless Marketing
ezine. You can also read it in PDF or download a copy to
read at your convenience at:
http://williecrawford.com/limitless31march05.pdf

If you really listen to what I'm sharing, it's powerful, it's stuff
my 7-figure mentors taught me!

I thought that it might be fun to pull back the curtain and
give you a peek inside my week. In the process, I share with
you some of how my wacky mind works. So this issue of
Limitless Marketing Ezine is all insightful editorial. Let me
know what you think of the issue and if you found it useful.
If you get lots of use out of the issue I'll do more issues
in this format.

I'll pickup from last Thursday, which is when the last issue
went out...

Last Thursday I finished coordinating all of the details for
a customer appreciation seminar with a few friends. This
seminar was originally Kirt Christensen's Customer
Appreciation Seminar. I first saw his webpage after he sent
me a short email. As I glanced at his webpage, I planned on
attending. Kirt has held seminars where he charged $10,000
per person, so I knew that he would have some SERIOUS
business people in attendance. I planned on attending just
to meet and explore business possibilities with some of those
people!

The next day, I thought to myself "I wonder if Kirt would like
for me to help him get the word out." As I pondered this question,
my phone rang, and it was Kirt who asked if I'd like to co-sponsor
the event.

After some discussion, we did decide that I'd co-sponsor
a customer appreciation seminar - where only our past customers
and clients would be invited. The event is scheduled for
April 22nd -23rd, in San Jose, Costa Rica. It's designed
to offer a lot of learning and networking. There will be six
speakers but we WON'T be doing pitches for our products!

The fact that the seminar is in Costa Rica tied into
two themes that seemed to permeate my week. One of the
recurring themes was "The Internet Lifestyle." It ties in
with being able to choose when and where you work. It ties
in with working in exotic and fun locations where you can
even combine business with a vacations... and it's often
all tax-deductible :-)

Traveling from most parts of the United States to Costa
Rica only costs a few hundred dollars. So attending this
seminar will be one of the least expensive seminars I've
attended all year. I encourage you to attend. Check out:
http://williecrawford.com/customerappreciationseminar.html

You do need to go ahead and make reservations because the
hotel facility we'll be meeting in only has room for 90
people. You also want to go ahead and lock in your airline
reservations since it's much cheaper when you make the
reservations a few weeks in advance. I even provide my
clients with a travel "booking engine." It's a search
engine that looks through several databases including the
Priceline.com database and finds the best deals. I do this
largely as a value-added service for my clients. You can
check it out at: http://www.ytbtravel.com/williecrawford

I know... you're probably thinking, "That Willie's even a
travel agent. Man, he's in everything!"

The secret there... is that I heard Wade Cook talk about
the benefits of becoming a travel agent on an audiotape he
made at a seminar he spoke at in the early 90's. In this
tape he was staying in a really fancy hotel, in a really
nice suite, and he shared with the other seminar attendees
that he had a room that normally costs hundreds of dollars
per night, but it only costed him $25 per night. The reason
he got the room so cheap was because he was considered a
professional in the travel industry, and hotels, airlines,
cruise lines, and all sorts of resorts often offer what
they call "fam rates" to travel agents. Those are
"familiarization rates."

I checked out what Wade was teaching because I do a lot of
travel. I learned that these places offer deep discounts
to professionals becasue they hope that after seeing their
facilities, agents will recommend it to clients. If they
have rooms in a hotel or on a cruise ship that they didn't
anticipate selling, why not offer it cheaply to a travel
agent who might send them business in the future. I saw that
I'd probably save thousands of dollars per year on my travel
and vacations, so I became a registered travel agent :-)

Last Thursday, while doing my newsletter and coordinating
details of the customer appreciation seminar, I was also
making plans to attend a one day seminar sponsored by
another company I work with. This company is called Send
Out Cards, and they allow people to send real,physical
greeting cards right over the internet. They also allow
you to make money by explaining the business to prospects
and signing up new representatives. When I looked at
this business, I was impressed enough with it that I decided
I'd spend my 46th birthday (March 26th, 2005) in one of
their training seminars. I had a lot of questions and ideas
for the company president who would be speaking at the
seminar.

I know... you're thinking again, "That Willie's in
everything!"

The things is... this greeting card business fits in
perfectly with where I am taking much of my online activity.
You often hear top Internet marketers preach that you should
not make Internet marketing your niche. They point out that
you should choose less competitive niches where your marketing
knowledge would give you a tremendous edge. I don't just
preach this, I actually do this. I fully anticipate earning a
seven-figure income this year. I anticipate earning a seven-
figure income OUTSIDE the Internet marketing arena.

The greeting card business allows a person to send a real,
full-color, personalized greeting card right over the
Internet - dirt cheap. I send out hundreds of cards a month,
and they cost me 98 cents each... that includes postage.

Let me first of all share my secret for using the greeting
cards to make a small fortune.... We all know that email is
getting more and more difficult to get through. That's part
of the reason I changed this ezine to a PDF format that you
download after receiving a short email notification that
it's ready. The other reason I changed over is that PDF
newsletters have a longer shelf life. People download
the issues to their computer and then have a much great
chance to going back to them later. People also both print
out issues and share them with others. Many subscribers
have told me that this is the case.

My secret though is that instead of just sending emails,
I often send my offers to clients and prospects in a
greeting card. This is especially the case when I'm
selling big ticket items. For example, many of the items
I sell for $997 - $2997 pay 50% commission. So I send
select prospects a greeting card where I offer a discount,
valuable bonuses, or perhaps a rebate. The greeting card
system allows you to upload a digital image to the card.
While many people are just using photos of people, I'm
using graphics of discount coupons. It works beautifully.

The fact is that I get a response rate more than ten times
higher with a greeting card than I do when I send the
same message in an email. Yes, the email costs nothing
to send, and the greeting card costs me 98 cents. However,
if you aren't getting a response from your email, nothing
from nothing equals NO SALE. If I send out 500 greeting
cards selling an item that pays me $1000 in commission,
and I only sell ONE, I've just doubled my money!

I hope that your mind works like that... look at the cost
involved in your promotional effort, and then look at
the estimated return. If you're making a profit and it's
not too involved, then it makes perfect sense to do it.

Here's the thing... the greeting card system allows you
to upload a database. So you can pull up a list of past
customer, subscribers, whoever, and then import them into
the system. Then you can assign them all to a "group"
and send that entire group the SAME greeting card. The
system will allow you to personalize each card by
inserting tags (such as their name). This works much
like an autoresponder system, except that it sends out
real greeting cards. In fact, you can set up a series
of cards (a campaign) and then subscribe individual or
entire groups to that series of cards all set to go out
at a predetermined timing.

Do you see the power in this? While all of your
competitors are send email, and hope that the filters let
through, I'm sending a nice, warm, "touchy-feely" card,
and getting amazing results. Any top Internet marketer
who's tested both direct mail and email will tell you
that the return on investment is SUBSTANTIALLY higher
with direct mail.

Take a look at the greeting card system I use at:
http://SendOutCards.com/willie If you'd like, we can
set you up with a sample account where you can actually
send out a few cards. If you send them to someone in
your household, you can see what they look like when they
arrive. To have me do that, just send an email to
willie@williecrawford.com with the subject "Request
Sample Card Account." You need to include your physical
address along with this request. The way this works is
that we actually allocate some of the postage and stamps
we've paid for to an account you can you. As soon as the
account is set-up, we send you a username and password that
lets you log-in and use the system.

I'm very big on this system because IT WORKS. It's
sending me a lot of business!

You can also make money by telling others about the
system. I personally earn $150 every time I sign up a
new representative... and I sign someone up practically
every day! Few of the individual Internet marketing
products I sell are doing THAT well. To get full details on
how to become a representative, click on the link labeled
Income Opportunity at: http://SendOutCards.com/willie

After reading that first page, click the link at the very
bottom. It will ask for my representative number. Enter
2663 and it will show you the compensation plan.
After that, drop me an email if you'd like to know more.

I mentioned that this theme of "The Internet Lifestyle"
permeated my week. There was not a single day that went
by where I didn't have someone using that phrase in
conversations. On Tuesday, March 29th, Andrew
Morrison had me as a guest on his radio show. His show
is called "Internet Living LaVita - Living The Internet
Lifestyle." The 30 minute segment we did was aired in the
New York area. We had several callers during the show. I
also gave out my url and toll-free number during the show.
I did get website visitors and a few consulting lead within
minutes of doing the show.

If you're not doing radio interview you should be. It's
great free publicity. When you come across a radio show
that you'd like to be a guest on, you basically need to
let the host know that you'd make a great guest. You do
this by sending them a press release and letting them
know that you have a bio and "Q&A sheet" that you can
send them if they want it. These last 2 documents basically
make the interviewer's job very easy. They don't have to
do any research to interveiw you...

The bio tells all about you, and many interviewers will
just read it when introducing you.

The Q&A sheet is just a list of questions that you
suggest that they ask you. Throw in a few that sound
challenging or confrontation, and you're a "shoe-in."
Interviewers look better to their audience if they come
across as really grilling you :-) I've done many interviews
where the host just ran down my list of question. I was
in total control of the interview on THEIR show. That's very
powerful!

The other theme that kept popping up in my week was the
them of things happening when you focus on them enough.
Great teachers have frequently taught that when you focus
on something long enough and hard enough that the universe
just lines things up to make your desire a reality. I
thought about that after I partnered with Kirt for the
customer appreciation seminar.

A number of other things happended during the course
of the week... basically very lucrative joint ventures just
dropped into my lap. Several of the projects still in the
exploratory phase have multi-million dollar potential.
What I've had proven to me is that when you really,
really focus on a problem, your subconscious mind often
finds the solution when you least expect it. An example
of this is actually a medication that I'm exploring the
potential of marketing. This medication solves a common
problem that I've been concerned about for over 20 years.
Recently, a doctor friend of mine casually mentioned a
home remedy that he'd use. This home rememdy used an
item available at the supermarket for about $5. Research
showed me why this remedy worked and that the product
wasn't being marketed for this purpose.

To make a long story shorter :-)... a group that I formed is
now on the verge of pushing a product out to market that's
based closely on the formula used for the other product.
The product's been around for so long that it's no longer
protected by patent. However, we'd repackage the product
with a new look, new smell, and a fresh image. This is the
same thing we've done for years with reprint rights! The
difference now is that instead of earning tens of thousands
dollars, we're looking at millions. It's truely amazing what
comes up when you just let it happen.

My ability to think in this fashion has come through years
of practice and study. For example, I often recommend my
clients go through an inexpensive audio course called, "Know
How To Be Right." The course is by Dr. Robert Anthony and
it can be picked up interesting enough at:
http://TheInternetLifestyle.com The course does literally
teach you how to be rich. It's in MP3 format and you can
get it instantly at the url above.

On the topic of joint ventures. I'm actively involved in
or orchestrating a number of very lucrative joint ventures.
I think that I've shared with you before that the real
money is in brokering joint ventures. That's where you
find someone with a product, and you find someone to market
that product. You earn a percentage just from putting things
together.

In the Internet marketing arena, the way you broker a
typical JV is that you set it us like a 2-tier affiliate
deal. You put yourself on the first tier, and then you
go out and find second-tier affiliates. That way, affiliate
tracking software does all of the accounting for you.

One JV that I brokered was for the ebook "Success Alert"
which you'll find at http://Success-Alert.com I basically
went to dozens of super affiliates and offered them 50%
commission on a new ebook that they would be the only
ones allowed to sell. We launched the product with a closed
(by-invitation-only) affiliate program. This was more
attractive to the super affiliates. I got dozens of people
with very large lists to read the ebook and then do
reviews or recommendations. We sold nearly $60,000 worth
of this ebook in the FIRST 30 DAY. I earn a percentage
on every copy sold since I basically signed people up
as if they were my second tier affiliate.

We later opened up the affiliate program, but I still
earn commissions every month on those JV partners I
recruited!

On the JV above, I probably put in 10 hours doing most of the
work. I won't tell you how much money I made, but it was
substantial! Brokering JV's is now even easier. For
example, you can now BUY a list of the top 316 Internet
marketers. So if this was your target marketer, 90% of
your research is already done for you. In case you're
wondering if the person who compiled this list thinks you're
in the top 316 (based upon his criteria), you can check
out the names on the list or get a copy of the list at:
http://www.jamesharkin.com/ultimatejv/williecrawford/index.htm

If you're interested in this list, you need to grab a copy
now. He only plans on selling so many copies (so that the
people on the list aren't too bombarded with people looking
for JV's) then he's going to stop selling it.

I mentioned that I do broker JV's. My partners on many
of these will earn more than the average American earns
in a year in as little as 2-3 days. I've recently watched
JV partners and associates generate over $100,000 in sales
in a single day! What I'm telling you is that when you know
what you're doing, joint ventures and brokering JV's is
where it's at.

I'll be telling you about a complete course on brokering
JV's that will be available in about a month. It will be
6 DVD's plus supplemental material. Be watching for it.
It'll blow your mind when you see how EASY it is.

If you'd like to be a part of some of the JV's that I'm
putting together send me an email. Send it to
willie.crawford@gmail.com Include your
name
email address
mailing address
phone number
list or website details
the type projects you're interested in
... Most likely I have something that would interest you
AND make you a lot of money :-)

WOW, I've been rambling on for a while. I do have some
other things that I want to share with you but if I go
on too long, you're probably going to unsubscribe :-)
So, let me know what you think of this format and maybe
I'll use it more often.

I'll close with a couple things for you to do:

1) Register for my customer appreciation seminar at:
http://WillieCrawford.com/customerappreciationseminar.html

2) Check out the greeting card system I told you about at:
http://SendOutCards.com/willie (email me for more info or to
try out the system by sending a few cards at my expense).
I can afford it :-)

3) If you're interested in doing JV's with Internet
marketers, grab a copy of James Harkin's list at:
http://www.jamesharkin.com/ultimatejv/williecrawford/index.htm

4) Email me in if you're interested in doing some of the
dozens of joint ventures I'm involved in.

5) Drop by my discussion forum and leave a note. It's
at http://WillieCrawford.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi

That's it for this week.

What IS The Internet Lifestyle?

Many people look at the Internet and see the possibility of them building a business that would simply take too much capital in the brick and mortar world. They dream of riches, fame, fortune, and all of that other good stuff.

They dream of The Internet Lifestyle.

But what is "The Internet Lifestyle?"

I personally think that it's anything that you want it to be. I actually own the domain http://TheInternetLifestyle.com I purchased that domain because I plan on using it to show what The Internet Lifestyle evolves into for me.

When I first purchased the domain, I envisioned showing me on the beaches around the world, out on my fishing or just relaxing in my Florida home. After spending 20 years in the military, I decided what type of lifestyle I wanted and then set out to build it. I anticipated marketing to military people to a large extent. There are millions of them and many of them dream of breaking away and starting their own business, just as I did.

Ironically, when I first bought the domain, I decided to point it to a website showcasing Dr. Robert Anthony's course "Know How To Be Rich." I own this audio course and credit it with Changing My Life.
I feel it's ironic because it's the things I learned in that course, that I now live by that will enable me to live "The Internet Lifestyle"

If you're not familar with Dr. Anthony's work, you're missing out big time! Take a look at the other major successes credit Dr. Anthony with changing their lives!

Click Here To Check Out Dr. Anthony

What led to this post is the fact that:

This week I was asked to travel to and speak at a seminar in the U.K. .... making me more of an "International Speaking Sensation"

Last week I coordinated with several friends to host a customer appreciation seminar... in Costa Rica. That'll make for some great photo's to stick on my website depicting The Internet Lifestyle.

This week I was featured for 1/2 hour on a radio show on FM 93.5 in the New York area. Strangely enough, the shows title was "Internet Living Lavida - Living The Internet Lifestyle.

I still think that the internet lifestyle can be anything that you want. For me it's working when and where I want, using my laptop to tap into and manage my business. It's the ability to afford the things that I want for myself and those I care deeply about. It's doing what I enjoy. It's more free time to devote to causes I care about. It's FREEDOM.

It's anything that you want it to be because it's all possible!
I guess I've rambled on long enough. It's 2:30 AM here - that's why I'm rambling :-)

Did You Make The Top 316 Internet Marketers List?

My friend James Harkins has compiled a list of the 316 top Internet marketers. He's offering this list to anyone desiring to save a lot of time in tracking down their contact info. James doesn't give phone numbers of email addresses though because he wants you to use the preferred method of contacting them as James explains at his website.

You can check out what James has to say/offer by clicking here.

It interesting that a number of people on the list don't really want to be categorized with the guru's. Do you consider yourself a guru, or at least one of the top 316 Internet marketers? Did you make James' list?

Very Important Note For My Customers And Clients ONLY!

Important Note To My Past Customers

I sent an email out recently inviting past customers and clients
to a customer appreciation seminar I'm co-hosting. It's my way of
thanking you for helping me to become fairly successful over the
years.

Since I know email filters block some emails I wanted to post
this here to increase the chance of the right people seeing this.

The reason for the email is that one of my clients, David Hunt,
pointed out to me that if you make your flight reservations 3 weeks
early, that's the big price break point for some airlines. Today or
tomorrow is the 3 week point depending upon where you live.

So I if you are a past customer or client, I need for you to do 3
things before you lose out...

First, get all of the details of the seminar at:
http://WillieCrawford.com/customerappreciationseminar.html
Go ahead and sign up now because we only have room for 90 people.
That's the physical limitation of the seminar room we've rented.

Secondly, you need to make sure your passport is good. If you don't
have one, you need to go ahead and apply for it. U.S. citizens can
do that here: http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html

The passport site says that you can get an expeditited passport in
approximately 2 weeks. That's what's explained on this page:
http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/processing/processing_1740.html
So make sure that your passport is current or get the application
in within the next day or two.

Third, go ahead and make your airline reservations. As I explained
already, if you make your reservation now, you'll save a lot. You can
use a booking engine I've set up to find the absolute best rates.
This search engine taps into a number of major databases including the
Priceline.com database. It's where I book my travel. You can access
it at: http://www.ytbtravel.com/williecrawford

I don't want to take up any more of your very valuable time. I just
didn't want you to miss out because you didn't think about the
factors I just pointed out to you.

I hope to see you at the seminar. It's in a really nice location
and is a great way to take a tax-deductible vacation with loved
ones.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Get You Passport Now For Customer Appreciation Seminar In Costa Rica

I announced last week that I'm co-hosting a customer appreciation seminar April 22nd -23rd. The seminar will be in Costa Rica,so you require a passport if traveling from most countries. Costa Rica is beautiful, safe, and a great place to take the family on a vacation... that if done right can even be tax deductible.

If you are a U.S. citizen you can get the details on getting a passport here.
http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html

This page on that site explains how to get a passport in about 2 weeks through their expedited service.
http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/processing/processing_1740.html

Here's some of the text from the site's homepage:
The Passport Services Office provides information and services to American citizens about how to obtain, replace or change a passport.

A passport is an internationally recognized travel document that verifies the identity and nationality of the bearer. A valid U.S. passport is required to enter and leave most foreign countries. Only the U.S. Department of State has the authority to grant, issue or verify United States passports.

New Application for a U.S. Passport
To obtain a passport for the first time, you need to go in person to one of 6,000 passport acceptance facilities located throughout the United States with two photographs of yourself, proof of U.S. citizenship, and a valid form of photo identification such as a driver’s license.

Acceptance facilities include many Federal, state and probate courts, post offices, some public libraries and a number of county and municipal offices. There are also 13 regional passport agencies, most of which serve only those who are departing urgently. Appointments are required in such cases.

You’ll need to apply in person if you are applying for a U.S. passport for the first time; if your expired U.S. passport is not in your possession; if your previous U.S. passport has expired and was issued more than 15 years ago; or if your previous U.S. passport was issued when you are under 16 your currently valid U.S. passport has been lost of stolen.

For more information on getting a new passport, please click How to get a passport.

Renewal of a U.S. Passport
You can renew by mail if: Your most recent passport is available to submit and it is not damaged; you received the passport within the past 15 years; you were over age 16 when it was issued; you still have the same name, or can legally document your name change.

You can get a passport renewal application form by downloading it from this site.

If your passport has been, altered or damaged, you cannot apply by mail. You must apply in person.

For more information on how to renew a passport, please click: How to renew a passport.

I do encourage you to plan on attended if you're one of my past customers or clients.

You also need to go ahead and book your travel. You'll spend $300 to
$400 for tickets from most U.S. locations. You can use the same booking engine that I use for all my travel by clicking here:
http://www.ytbtravel.com/williecrawford This is a searchengine that taps into all of the major databases including the Priceline.com database. It's where I purchase all my tickets for my own personal travel as well as for family members.

I look forward to seeing you there. Click here for full details and to register.Willie Crawford

Grab A Copy Of "The Little Black Book" Top Internet Markeing Guru's Definately DON'T Want You To Have!

Something for you to check out if you're quick. I get a feeling
it will soon be pulled from the market!

As you may or may not know, I earn in the high five-figures
virtually every month lately,and it's largely from doing
large joint ventures. Most often it's from "brokering"
joint ventures.

My secret is that I get top Internet marketers, or top
marketers in other niches to do coordinated promotions to their
highly responsive lists. I get a percentage commission on all
of THEIR sales. For just introducing a product owner to "high
power" list owners that I have access to, I make a small
fortune.

Even six months ago, when I did this interview at
http://www.iahbe.org I was in the 40,000 dollar per month range
EVERY month. When I shifted my focus to brokering JV's that
multiplied!

Just one JV that I brokered generated nearly $60,000 in sales
in the first 30 days. That wouldn't be impressive except that
it was for a $47 ebook :-) You can read all of the details
on that particular JV and EXACTLY how I set it up at:
http://williecrawford.com/jvfortunes.pdf This is a PDF
ebook that you can have for free. I just want to show you
that I really do make this kind of money, and let others
PROVE it to you!

Anyway, back to the "Little Black Book" that you want to
grab now...

A friend in the U.K., James Harkin, has decided to level
the playing field somewhat. He's researched and found the
contact information on all of the JV partners I use... and then
some. He's now offering this list, along with their contact
information to anyone and everyone. However, he's only going to
be offering this for a short time because he doesn't want the
"gurus" so bombarded with JV offers that they're all forced
to move to new addresses.

Check out:
http://www.jamesharkin.com/ultimatejv/williecrawford/index.htm

James provides the addresses and other information on the Top
316 Internet marketers. With this list, contacting them and
setting up joint ventures should be a breeze. He also tells
you how you should go about contacting them, right on this page:
http://www.jamesharkin.com/ultimatejv/williecrawford/index.htm

I actually have an indepth, 6-cd course on how some of the
top JV brokers do this day-in and day-out. That won't be
released until late April. When I saw James' list, I recognized
this as the perfect compliment. It will easily save you 100
hours of research!

Quick Pay Pro Source Code For Sale!

I've received half a dozen emails today telling me that
the original Quick Pay Pro (shopping cart system) source
code is for sale. The email mentions it's partly in
response to lots of knockoffs floating around.

I personally "private labeled" their biggest competitor
several years ago. That system is at http://ProfitAutomation.com

It sort of make you wonder what's going on. After all, you
don't sell the goose that lays the golden egg.

Here's one of the emails I received (apparently lots of
affiliates are promoting this):

I just bought QuickPayPro.com and you can too.

I Just picked up some reprint rights to the most
incredible offer I have ever seen about 10 minutes
ago, and just knew you would want to know about it.

The most incredible part about it was the price,
I know that sounds crazy, but you just have to
see this to believe it.
http://quickpaypro.com/x.php?1_A34946_20133

Dustin Struckman has gone completely nuts and
decided to sell the full source code with
reprint rights for the original shopping cart
website QuickPayPro.com

I don't know why he did it but I swear its true.

Anyway, you need to get over there and check this
out right now because the deal is only available for
a few days, and the cost goes up by 100 bucks every
day.

This source code is less than half a penny on the dollar
of the development cost of over $200,000 don't miss this
one!

http://quickpaypro.com/x.php?1_A34946_20133

You will not believe it until you see it...

He is flat out giving this incredible website away..

Your Friend,
*** Affiliate's name deleted :-)

P.S. I promise, you will be kicking yourself
all year if you miss this.

Is Your Credit Card Processing About To Stop!

I've advised many of my clients using third party processing to get their own merchant accounts. One reason is that it saves them money longterm. I use my friend, neighbor and boating partner, Todd Sumrall's service at http://WarriorProcessing.com

If you check out the stats and comparisons posted on this chart you'll see why my recommendations save my clients money. You'll also discover the merchant account most of the big name marketers that I'e asked about it uses.

Third party credit card processors are running into problems with Visa and Mastercard and it's changing a lot of things. Visa and Mastercard basically loans the merchant money when they give the merchant the buyer's money often before the order is even fulfilled... and long before the customer has had a chance to evaluate his satisfaction with the purchase.

A few months back one major third party processor simply announce that they were no longer processing a lot of internet marketers transactions AND that they were holding onto monies they had for a while. I've now heard rumors that this is about to happen again.

When it does happen again, hopefully you'll be prepared. It really hurts when you can't process any orders while you search for a new,real merchant account. It also really hurts when your funds are locked up so that you can pay your affiliates and crediors!

Just food for thought. I do recommend that if you are a U.S. based merchant you check out http://WarriorProcessing.com In other countries I may be able to make recommendations if you email me privately (willie AT williecrawford DOT com).

How I Plan On Earning Over $1 Million This Year In "Internet Marketing!"

The seeds of this post started in my signature file in the member-only Internet Marketing Warriors discussion forum, where I am one of the moderators. As I teaser I posted:

"How Does Willie Crawford Plan On Generating OVER $1 Million On The Internet This Year.
Email him through the forum and ask him :-)"

After over 60 people emailed me in short order with that questions, I decided to post the gist of my response here. So, he's how I WILL earn 7 figures over the Internet this year....

But first let me note that this is currently only accepting new distributors in the U.S. It will be expanding into other countries soon, management is just working out the logistics and legal issues.

Over $1 Million per year?

The simple answer is that I'm going to do like those I've learned the most from... great mentors such as Marlon Sanders, Stephen Pierce, Jonathan Mizel and Paul Myers have taught for years. I'm simply going to sell people... with money, things that they already want and are already buying.

Most Internet marketers who aren't making tons of money are either trying to sell people something that they KNOW they don't want, or they're trying to sell to people with no money. Both of those approaches are way too hard.

In "going for the low-hanging fruit," I'm marketing a product that every consumer in American and much of the world over the age of 7 uses practically every month. It's something they're already buying and all I'm doing is showing them how to get it
cheaper and more conveniently... and that's making me a lot of money.

Take a look at: http://SendOutCards.com/willie
It's a print on demand greeting card company that allows you to mail REAL greeting cards, right over the Internet for as little as 98 cents (including first class postage). They offer more than 2500
different cards that the customer personalizes with their own message and even a digital photo if desired.

I sell these to ordinary consumers. I also sell them to realtors, doctors, lawyers, dentists, car dealers, etc... people who are already spending big money to build their businesses. The businesses can actually set up sequences of cards, much like an autoresponder
series. These "campaigns" go out sending a sequence of fully personalized cards at whatever interval the customer chooses. This allows a car dealer or realtor to automate the process of maintaining customer contact, which they all realize is critical.

At the site: http://SendOutCards.com/willie click on the link labeled Income Opportunity. That page briefly explains how a representative gets set up. At the bottom of that page, click the link labeled "For More Information Click Here." You'll be asked for an ID number. Enter 2663. The page you get next shows the compensation plan. It's very powerful and very profitable.

I see a lot of Internet marketers using this system too because it gets them around the problem with spam and email filters. It's already one of my primary tools for selling big ticket items such as
seminar seats. Since you can include a digital photo in the cards, I simply include a graphic of a discount coupon inside the card. Then my special offer gets through to prospects who are already inundated with email. I've been the top seat seller for a number of recent seminars for this very reason :-)

Anyway, take a look and let me know if you have any questions. Visionaries such as Jason cox, Joel Christopher, Joe Vitale and many other top Internet marketers are already both using this sytem and also making a nice residual income from selling the product.

You can call me at 877-262-3367 (toll-free in the continental United States). When I'm traveling, you can reach me quicker on my cell phone at 850-974-1346.

Let me know what questions you have and how I can plug you into this easy income stream.

Note that this is only one of several products that consumers are already buying like crazy that I am aggressively promoting and profiting from. I shared this one with you because it is the most profitable one and because it's so easy to plug into.

10 Steps to Coach Yourself to Success!

10 Steps to…
Coach Yourself to Success!
By Dr Jill Ammon-WexlerAdvisor to key executives
© 2005 All Rights Reserved.

Does it surprise you to learn that many of today’s top executives, professionals and entrepreneurs have personal coaches? But this coaching has nothing to do with physical fitness.

This type of personal coaching is about being and doing your best – about time and goal management – about peak performance – about achieving higher levels of business or professional success.

Regardless of the focus for each person however, in the end it’s about living life the way they really want to live. And this is a goal most of us have!

But if you aren’t ready for your own personal coach, here are ten steps to coach yourself along the path to your preferred lifestyle:

Step 1. Get Clear
Pick one major goal you feel ready to commit to, write it down, and be sure you have a clear picture of exactly what your goal is. This may sound like old advice – and it is. This advice has survived over time for a good reason – it works! It’s far more powerful to write your goals down than just hold them in your mind. And if you will then review them at least once a week, your rate of success will double.

Step 2. Get Committed
If you want something more than you have today, you will have to do something more. This does not necessarily mean that you have to work harder or longer, although many super-successful people do just that. What it does mean is that you should commit to do your best! Peak performance is not something you achieve in the future – its doing a superior job right now -- on whatever task or challenge before you. For successful people this is a habit, and springs from a superior attitude.

Step 3. Get Focused
Life is packed full of distractions. Successful people take the time to solve distracting problems, or give them no attention at all. Learn to focus on what you want, not what you don’t want. What you focus on will grow.

Step 4. Get Organized
Successful people know that space management is just as important as time management. They have organized desks and files, and organized day timers. If you want a higher level of success, spend some time getting your workspace organized, and make it a priority to keep it that way. It’s difficult to have an orderly and efficient mind in a cluttered and disorganized space.

Step 5. Get Motivated
Read or listen to something motivating every day. Even 20 minutes can make a big difference. Listen to educational and motivational tapes while you drive. This is important “mind food.”

Step 6. Get Educated
If you are committed to superior performance, part of that requires keeping your mind open and stimulated. Read both within and outside your field of focus.

Step 7. Get Connected
Become part of a Master Mind group -- a group of people committed to helping each other become successful. Meet once a week (even on the telephone) to brainstorm ideas, and advice and support each other.

Step 8. Get De-stressed
It’s important to take a personal evaluation of your stress level. Daily stress management is not just important – it’s essential! Stress has very negative impacts on your brain: (1) It is proven to actually kill brain cells, and (2) It focuses your mental activity in older portions of the brain that do not support higher creative thinking. It is not your friend!

Step 9. Get Balanced
Super successful people know how important it is to have a balance in their life. Bill Gates takes an entire week off each month and seeks solitude so he can clear his mind. But just as important as personal retreats are some play time with your family and friends. Get balanced, and you’ll be far more productive and creative.

Step 10. Get Confident
Successful people have strong self-images. They have a sense of their own self worth, and are confident they can handle whatever life tosses in their path. If you have personal doubts – that’s the first place to start on your desired pathway to success. This must be dealt with or you will just continue to have the same problems holding you back!

Let's Start Making YOU A Millionaire

I've studied personal development and what it is that allow some people to achieve incredible accomplishments while others just continue to struggle all their lives.

In case you haven't noticed, the secret is NOT working harder. We all know very hard working people that still worry about making the rent payment every month! I grew up in that environment. I've also watched dozens of multi-millionaires generate millions of dollars in weeks... effortlessly.

Through associating with many, many multi-millionaires, I have come to understand many of the secrets to generating incredible wealth. I'd like to share some of those discoveries with you in this section of the blog. I share some of my path to discovery in my biography which you can read about at http://GitOffThePorch.com

One of the first things that you'll notice, if you haven't already, is that much of it is mental. You have to first of all give yourself permission to accomplish and to have more. Until you do that, you will do little things (without know it) that will make it impossible for you to do/have more. You need to know that it's ok to have a lot of wealth and be a big success.

I personally came grew up on government subsistence and lived with my grandmother who worried about making a $365 PER YEAR house payment. She taught us that it was not good to desire a lot of money... since she didn't believe that it was a realistic expectation. At the same time, the kids of the rich were learning that there's nothing wrong with wealth.

Making that shift in mindset took some training and many experiences but it IS what allowed me to accomplish things that most of my friends and relatives can't even imagine.

Another problem we all have to overcome is the scarcity mentality. If we believe that there's only so much wealth, happiness... or anything else desireable... to go around, then we will believe that if others get more that means less for us. It also means we believe that if we get more, that means there is less for others. Instead of thinking this way, you need to view weatlth much like digitally downloaded software or ebooks. Just because others have it doesn't mean that we can't too. The supply is endless!

If you'd like to start training you mind at warp speed, I recommend an audio course by Dr. Robert Anthony entitled "Know How To Be Rich." You can check it out here. The lessons from this course are some of the MP3's I listen to while out walking or jogging each day. It's one of those things I've used to retrain my mind. It work.

So, if you're not already a millionaire, or well on your way, let's start making YOU a millionaire!

Why I Spent My 46th Birthday At A Seminar In A Little Tennessse City That Celebrates "Mule Day"

March 26th, 2005 was my 46th birthday. It's been a good 46
years. Instead of holding a big party, I spent it doing
something to help out my clients and subscribers.

Let me explain....

Back in November, my friend Jack Bastide, told me about this
company called SendOutCards.com This company allows you to
send real greeting cards over the Internet for less than $1
each. You basically log into the website, choose from more
than 2500 full-color cards, enter your message, enter your
recipient, and click send. The print on demand company, prints
the fully-personalized card, stuffs it in an envelope, puts
a first class stamp on it, and mails it. This costs me (as
a distributor) only 98 cents per greeting card. It would cost
a few pennys more if sent outside the U.S. since part of
that 98 cents is first class postage for a U.S. destination.
You can actually send the cards anywhere.

Anyway... when Jack first showed me the system, he did it
by sending me a card with a note asking me to call him. When
I called, he invited me to send a card to my wife. After I
did that, and saw the expression on her face, I was hooked.

However, Jack explained that I could make money from showing
others this system and signing them up as representatives or
customers. He signed me up as a representative right on the
spot! I know a good thing when I see it.

Fast forward 4 months, and I'm fast becoming one of the
company's stars... at least I think so. Each time I sign up
a new representative I earn a very nice $150. I do this just
by showing them the system and also by letting them send a
greeting card... It really is THAT easy.

Now... to how I spent my birthday. Here's a photo of me
with Kody Bateman (president of Send Out Cards), Dave (another
guy from the company) and Rhea Perry (a long-time friend and
fellow representative).

We're at a training seminar SendOutCards conducted in columbia,
Tennessee on March 26th. I went to the seminar because it qualifies
me for the very highest level of commissions in the company and
because I had a TON of questions I wanted to ask "management."

I really loved the company but wanted to know how capable
management was, how much room and what plans they had for
expansion, how well they were complying with regulator laws
(the regulators look very closely at MLMs). I also wanted to
know what equipment they were using, what capacity it had,
and what backup equipment they had in the event of surges. I
had lots of questions during the seminar and then Rhea and I
stayed for an hour AFTER the seminar was over... grilling
Kody.

I'm happy to report that they really have their act together
and I can/do highly recommend that you check out this company.

Let me let you in on a little secret here. Any MLM that makes
most of it's money from selling kits and supplies to distributors
isn't likely to last very long. The FTC wants to see that the
company has a REAL product... of REAL value, and that the company
is making a good percentage of it's revenue from end users of
the product. Soooo, when you're looking at MLM's, look to see
if they DO have a real product... one that it would make sense
for customers to buy. That's what I love about this company...
it's selling GREETING CARDS and practically everyone is using
them.

To make things better...
There is no company in existence besides this one that lets you
send full color, fully personalized greeting cards, for as little
as 98 cents each. You can even set up a sequence of greeting
cards (much like an autoresponder) and then "subscribe"
individuals or entire databases of customers to these "campaigns."
That's very powerful! Realtors, car dealers, doctors, lawyers,
dentists, all kinds of professionals use this feature of the
system very heavily!

Let me let you in on another secret...
This system plays very heavily into my plans for earning a 7-figure
income in Internet marketing this year. How? I send cards
offering the same special offers that others send via email. I
include a coupon (a digital image) in the cards offering discounts
to seminars and other big ticket items that I sell. It's the
same offers that I send select prospects via email, but with a
card, I KNOW that it's getting delivered and read. It's also
making sales for me :-)

The greeting card business is growing so fast and this company
will thrive because of what greeting cards also do. They spread
good feelings. When you send an unexpected greeting card to someone
you make them feel very special. Maya Angelou expressed why that's
important best in this verse

"People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did.
But people will never forget how you made them feel."

That's very powerful! Whether you realize it or not, you are in
the RELATIONSHIP business and this is a very powerful tool for
building relationships.

I wanted to encourage more subscribers, clients and visitors
to my websites to sign up as distributors and/or customers with
SendOutCards. I also felt that I owed it to you to fully
check out the company first. That's part of why I spent my
46th birthday at a seminar. Yes, my wife did join me and she's
sold on the company now too :-)

If you'd like more info on the company, I'd be happy to talk to
you. Just give me a call at 877-262-3367 any day between 8am
and 8pm CST. If I'm out fishing, please leave a message. I
do take time off for things like and you should too :-)

Willie Crawford's Customer Appreciation Seminar - Can You Join Us?

I'm getting together with Kirt Christensen, Ted Ciuba,
James Brausch, Nathan Anderson and David Frey to host a
Customer Appreciation Seminar next month in Costa Rica.

It's a low-key event, just designed to give back to our
customers. This won't be your normal seminar presentations
.... and NO pitching items in the back of the room. It's
more of a brainstorming and networking session in a REALLY
nice place.

You can fly to Costa Rica cheaper than you can fly to
many places in the U.S.

Check it out. If it interests you and you're one of my
customers, I'd love to have you join us. You do need to
act fast since it's limited to only 90 people. That's the
capacity of the meeting facility we've already locked in.
You also need a passport which can take several weeks but
can be expedited ;-)

Get full detail, and sign up at:
http://williecrawford.com/customerappreciationseminar.html

We look forward to a nice weekend packed with a lot of learning.
I hope that you can make it.

P.S.
I'm still working on the webpage so don't tell me that I look
different in the photo :-)

Willie and Nancy Crawford Meet The Hypnotic Marketer and The 4 Billion Dollar Man!

Here's a photo of Nancy Crawford, Ted Nicholas, Willie Crawford and Joe Vitale. Joe and Ted were a blast afterhours although they both eat a lot healthier than I do.... a good reason for me to hang around them.

This was only my wife's second or third seminar but I believe that she took more notes than I did :-)

My First Meeting Wit Marlon Sanders

Just sifting through some old photos and thought I'd share a few with you. This was at Joel Christopher's Master List Builders Workshop in 2002. This was my first time meeting and befriending Marlon Sanders.

Len Thermond and Jason Potash are in the background, although Jason seems to have gotten cut off :-)

This was the workshop where Marlon dubbed me "The King Of Pay Per Clicks" in his presentation :-)

If you check out my articles page here, you'll see that I got lots of mileage out of that one incident as far as writing ezine article was concerned.

Getting More Work DONE In Your Online Business

Getting More Work DONE In Your Online Business
Copyright 2005 By Willie Crawford

If you're anything like me, there never seems to be enough time
to get all of the things done that you'd like to do. If your
income goals are as high as mine (seven-figures,) then you also
realize that you'll have a very hard time reaching them if you're
trading time for money. I realized this second point when I first
noticed all of the doctors and lawyers leaving those practices to
start their own businesses. When I asked them why, they explained
that they only got paid when they worked, and that the fact that
they could only work so many hours per day was what limited their
incomes the most.

Assuming you're not simply trading your time for money... working
for a salary or at an hourly wage, how do you simply get more
done?

First of all, you need to make sure that you're only trying to
do the things that you should be doing. For most entrepreneurs
that means doing things to grow and market your business. Most
other work should be farmed out... subcontracted or outsourced
to technicians. If you can easily hire someone to do it cheaper
than you can do it, then YOU shouldn't be doing it.

Trying to do everything yourself is one of the biggest reasons
I see most netrepreneurs failing. You simply can't be an expert
at everything, or do everything yourself. You need to identify
those things that will offer you the highest return on your most
limited asset (your time), and then you need to focus on doing
just those things.

Yes, you may need to understand how to do some basic things
yourself at first. For example, when putting up your first
website, it may make sense to learn some basic html or at-least
how to use a WYSIWYG (what You See Is What You Get) HTML
editor. If you can afford to hire a webmaster and programmers to
do everything for you though, even learning those things may not
be the best and highest use of your time.

My personal experience, like that of many of my contemporaries,
is that I learned to use DreamWeaver to do my own webpages. I
simply didn't want to be trapped waiting for my webmaster to
make minor changes (that I knew would dramatically improve my
bottom line) to a webpage . Good webmasters and programmers are
often in high demand and very busy.

After I learned to do the basics, I also often fell into the
trap that I want YOU to avoid. I want you to do two things.
First, learn to say "NO" and secondly, learn to prioritize.

Learning to say "no" can be hard. It's human nature to want to
do favors for others. We want to be liked. We believe that if
we say "no" to requests for assistance, we will be liked less.
Until you learn to say "no" when you have a full plate, others
will control your time and decide what you do... when. You
can't afford to put that much control over your time, your
business, and your LIFE into the hands of others. So, it's
critical to master the skill of saying "no" sometimes. You can
do it politely :-)

Learning to prioritize is the second essential that you must
master. Otherwise, you'll simply find yourself doing the easy,
enjoyable things that produce little long-term benefit, while
you ignore the very things that you should be doing.

There are a lot of systems for prioritizing, and you have to
choose the one that works best for you. For me, it involves
making a list of the things that I must get done and then doing
the most important ones first. This takes firmness and being
honest with yourself. You have to do the most important things
first because, then, if something doesn't get done, it will be
the less important things that you simply can't fit in.

In prioritizing, you do need to seek balance though. Things
you probably don't want to compromise are your health and
your relationships with your family. Make those a higher
priority than business.

A common trap too many netrepreneurs fall into... one that
I've fallen into, is offering to do too many things for others.
In a phone conversation, or perhaps a discussion board thread,
someone needs help doing something that is very simple to you.
You try to explain to them how to do it, and they just don't
seem to "get it." So you offer to do it for them. Before you
know it, you find yourself doing the very things that you
normally get someone else to do for you so that you can focus
on better uses of your time.

Here's how I got out of the trap I just described... I often
had clients who needed to get minor things done before we
could get other goals accomplished. They needed to know how
to do minor things like FTP’ing a file, making minor edits
to webpages, or perhaps changing out a graphic. In the
interest of expediency, I often offered to do these minor
chores... until I saw how often they mushroomed into major
projects. My solution.... I found, or created, video tutorials
explaining how to do these simple task. I reasoned that it
made more sense to just do the task once, and record it so
that I would have it handy if needed again.

If you visit my site at: http://WillieCrawford.com/how.html
you'll find links to a few of these videos I did in Camtasia.
These are flash videos on how to:
1) Copy and paste
2) FTP a file
3) Make minor webpage edits
etc.

I actually have dozens of these but just share these few with
you for illustrative purposes. Setting up something like this
may be a great time-saver.

Very similar to the concept above, if you find yourself
getting asked the same questions over and over again, perhaps
you should set up a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section
on your website. This will stop hundreds of emails or phone
calls. Just make the link to it prominent on your website.

If you find yourself answering the same email questions, or
requests, over and over again, set up email templates in your
email program so that you have those answers handy. Then, often
all you will need to do is pull up the template and change the
name to respond quickly via email. You could also use programs
that scan an email looking for keywords and then automatically
send a response based upon the context of the email. That's a
little advanced for this article, so I won't explain it here.

Similar to the Camtasia videos, if you find you’re explaining
the same thing over and over again, you could also post an MP3
tele-class recording online for your clients. You could also
just set up a phone line with the recorded messages,
instructions, or other information, and provide your clients
with the phone number for listening to the recording. Many
sales organizations use this idea for weekly training meetings,
etc.

There are many other common sense things you can do to get more
done. A couple of quick ones that I use are:

1) Just working smarter... i.e., I don't stand in line at the
post office. My staff and I have arranged to just walk up to the
counter and leave the containers full of mail on the counter.
The clerk simply gives us more mail "buckets," and we buy postage
in bulk or over the Internet. If we do need to actually talk to
a clerk, we visit the post office during the least busy times of
the day... NOT during lunchtime when everyone visits the post
office.

2) Avoid time wasters such as spending too much time at online
discussion forums. These can be great places to network,
brainstorm, or do research, but make sure you're not just
avoiding getting started on an urgent project.

3) Identify when you are most productive and use that time to do
your most challenging work. Set aside times when you are least
productive (based upon your natural body cycles) to answer email
or return phone calls.

4) Stop procrastinating! Often we procrastinate because a task
seems so large. Simply break it down into bit-sized steps and
it will seem less ominous. Then choose a step and do it. Mark
that step off your schedule to reinforce the fact that you are
making progress :-)

5) Automate where possible using things like autoresponders
and interactive web forms to dispense commonly requested
documents. You can even use software to automatically update
or change the content on your webpages. One such piece of
software that I use and love is called "Traffic On Steroids."
You can check it out at:
http://WillieCrawford.com/traffic-on-steroids.html

These are just a few of the ways that you can get more focused
and get more done. It's really just a matter of prioritizing
and then doing it. Adopt just a few of these ideas and you'll
be surprised at how much more you do actually get DONE! Without
implementing a few of these suggestions you can't be successful
simply because you'll never finish all of the tasks that you
need to do.

Free Camtasia Video's On A Few Of The Very Basics

After noticing that many beginners don't know how to do things I take for granted such as cutting and pasting, ftping, and editing text within a template, I've posted a few fairly short Camtasia videos online. These videos are 10 - 25 minutes each and show how to do these things. I have videos that show many other things man of us take for granted, but just wanted to make you aware of these.

I Got Free Copywriting Advice From The $4 Billion Man :-)

Just checing in again from Joel Christopher's Double
Birthday Bash. I'm sort of catching my breath but
last night was amazing. I got to sit next to Ted
Nicholas last night at dinner. I mentioned to him
that I had written a cookbook. That conversation
strayed into us brainstorming the title of my cookbook
to see if there was a better title. We also looked at
some of the hidden benefits of the cookbook that I had
not even thought of but that I should point them out in
my web copy. We came up with a number of changes I will
implement within the next week... as soon as I get back
home actually.

I met many other incredible speakers (like John Assaraf)
and took lots of pictures with old friends (like Joe
Vitale and Rosalind Gardner). I'll post some of those
photos later and also be sharing with you some of the
things that I learned or was reminded of.

Gotta get back into the presentation that's about to
start :-)

Checking In From Joel Christopher's and Ted Nicholas' Double Birthday Bash

Just getting started at Joel's Double Birthday bash. I'll try to drop a few notes from time to time about some of the things going on. The hotel was nice enough to provide us with a wireless connection.

I still haven't put out this week's ezine. Running way behind since I normally do that on Thursdays. I was traveling this Thursday, so I'll plan on getting it out while listening to all of the great speakers at the seminar.

I've already misplaced my digital camera. When I locate it, I'll snap a few photos and get those uploaded too.

Yanik Silver's Underground Seminar Selling Out A Month Early!

One of the seminars I'll be at next month is Yanik Silver's
Underground Semianar. With most seminars, people wait until the
last minute to sign up. It's what seminar promoters commonly refer
to as "the heart attack curve." It's called that because most
people procrastinate and the seminar promoter just watches as
he gets very few initial signups, then droves of signup during
the last week or two.

Yanik sent me an email this morning saying that his Underground
Seminar is almost sold out. That doesn't surprise me because of
the speakers he has and the topics they will be covering.

If you have any interest in the seminar, I recommend that you go
ahead and sign up :-)

Here's the note Yanik sent...

Hi Willie,

This is it...

Even though the upcoming Underground Online Seminar is
still a month 1/2 away - we're practically at a sell out!
As of this morning, 228 seats have been sold - leaving
** just 11 spots ** available (the website may not be updated yet).

http://www.undergroundonlineseminar.com/

Now the funny thing is, most seminar seats are sold at the
last-minute but this event is so hot we're about to close
the doors on it. That means if you delay you'll be totally
shut out!

Actually my hunch is the final seats will be gone before
the end of week because I'm sending out this final courtesy
notice to all our subscribers and customers (over 107,312).

Look, are you sure you want to miss out on the most unique
Internet marketing event of the year?

Have you ever wondered if there might be a group of 'under-
the-radar' Internet successes quietly raking it in?

You've probably never heard of these 'Underground' insiders
silently cashing in! (And they would have loved to keep it
that way too - until I figured out a surprising way to hold
them hostage and let you 'SPY' on their businesses.)

These real people do NOT regularly speak at the seminars
and they do NOT make their money from selling "how to make
money online" information. Combined they bring in over $30M
online!

And on April 28th -30th they're coming eager to share their
real in-the-trenches answers to your nagging problems,
alert you to new opportunities, give you fresh ideas, and
show you there's more than one way to make good money on
the Internet!

It's no wonder I've noticed all sorts of offline and online
'celebrity' marketers on the registration list. (Several I
personally know are verifiable, bona fide millionaires and
multi-millionaires including none other than Dan Kennedy.)
All of them are attending on their own dime for one simple
reason...to hear what these "Real World Successes" are up
to online.

Don't miss out and kick yourself later.

http://www.undergroundonlineseminar.com/

Hope to see you there!

All the best,

Yanik Silver

P.S. We have attendees coming to Washington, DC from all
over the country and also all over the world. Attendees are
arriving from UK, Canada, Mexico, Italy, Romania, South
Africa and even Japan and Australia. Actually Phil Wiley,
from Australia, said this in his latest newsletter:
"...This is first seminar exciting enough to lure me to
America in the past 4 years."

P.P.S. If price is a concern, I've done my best to make
this a total "non-issue" because there is even an easy 4-
pay payment plan. And since the event is 1 1/2 months away
- which means I'm doing something that would make most
seminar hosts sick to their stomachs! The last 2 monthly
payments are taken *after* the seminar is over and you've
had time to profit from the material.

Re: List Profits Secrets Course

Here's an email I sent our earlier about the recently released
List Profits Secrets Course. I just realized that many subscribers
read about what's going on here instead of my ezine....

Here's the note:

You know that the 'money is in the
list' right?

We've talked about this before. And
you also probably know that building
a list and actually making a profit
from your email campaigns is probably
the most common challenge that holds
people back in their business.

I think that is going to be a thing
of the past.

Craig Perrine, The List Profit Coach
from Nitro Marketing, has just released
his mega course that I swear goes into
every question I had ever had about
list building.

http://www.ListProfitSecrets.com

It's clear to me now why so many people
struggle to build a list. There are
three keys to making money with a list
and until now I've never seen anyone
actually explain everything in one place.

First you have to get subscribers.
We all know that. Craig's List Profit
Secrets course explains both no cost
and paid list building methods that
anyone can use.

He's got a unique system of taking
a step by step approach that before
you know it has you raking in targeted
subscribers and setting them up to be
highly responsive.

There are three techniques, one about
using eBay, that are just mind blowing.

Craig's sure dug up the cutting edge
info for this course.

And his guest speakers are like a
who's who of Internet Masters.

Second, you really have to know how
to manage and mail to your list. With
all the hub bub about Spam and the
ins and outs of autoresponders and
all that, most people just suck it
up and learn by trial and error.

I know I did.

But Craig reveals the 'best practices'
that will keep your list clean and
avoid problems, while managing your
subscribers for maximum profit at
the same time.

I was impressed. I've never heard
a lot of this stuff anywhere before.

Third, and perhaps most important
if you think about it...Craig teaches
you how he profits from his lists.

And by the way, this guy has built
lists totaling 7 million opt in
subscribers for himself, clients
and customers -- so he knows what
it takes to get you started on the
right foot.

You know what, though? What I
really appreciate is something many
people won't even notice. Craig
designed the course with a Quick
Start Guide and made it an easy
step by step process.

If you're like me, you probably
have stuff on your shelves that
you've bought and never made it
all the way through.

Well, so does Craig :)

He made sure that you can listen
to the CD's (there are 27 audios!)
in your car...or on your computer.

And, he's got video tutorials and
even a 308 page email swipe file
chock full of his private examples
that he uses to generate his famous
emails.

He's even included a bunch of Nitro
emails that I know for a fact have
brought in multi-six figure returns.

All in one course.

That's good stuff. And the Master
Manual has a step by step workbook
style so literally, if you take the
steps, you'll have subscribers and
be on your way.

Brilliant.

This is a 'take action' course more
than a 'home study' course.

I highly recommend you go here and
check it out...

http://www.ListProfitSecrets.com/g.o

If you are even half serious about
building a list or you're not making a
dime from the subscribers you have, I'd
jump on this right away.

Regards,

Willie Crawwford

PS. List Profit Secrets is fresh off
the press and I would expect the first
production to sell out fast.

So go see if this is for you today,
right now or you'll probably have to
wait a while.

It's at...

Can You Survive In An Online World?

Here's a nice article I snagged from Jim Edward's blog on what skills you need to make it online today as compared to just a few years ago. It's very eye-opening. Many people I encounter everyday don't have many of these essentials mastered.

Do you?

Can You Survive In An Online World?

- by Jim Edwards
© Jim Edwards - All Rights reserved
http://www.thenetreporter.com
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Do you have the skills to make it in a computer driven,
increasingly online world?

Your immediate, knee-jerk reaction may be "Yes! Of course I
have the skills."

"I know how to send and receive email and surf the web."

"I can even download and install files."

Well, three or four years ago, email, Web surfing and
downloading files qualified you as "electronically
literate," but not any more! Computer and online survival
skills now encompass much more than that.

Surviving in an online world involves maintaining a high
degree of "electronic literacy," which means focusing on
and developing skills in the following areas:

** Personal Computer skills **

In the old days of 1998, the ability to use a computer,
keyboard and mouse rated anyone as computer-literate.

In fact, you were a real pro if you could burn a CD, scan
documents and manipulate digital pictures.

Fast forward to today and "personal computer skills"
carries a whole new meaning. You must know how to maintain
and update not only anti-virus, but "anti-spyware," and
firewall software too.

You also need to understand how operating with Windows ME,
or 2000, or XP will affect your ability to use certain
software along with specific security precautions to avoid
trouble from hackers.

** Internet Skills **

In the bygone era of 1998, friends considered you an online
genius if you possessed basic surfing and navigation
skills.

They watched in awe as you used search engines like
InfoSeek.com (a long-defunct search engine) to find and
download programs, pictures, and information on specific
topics.

Now electronic literacy means the ability to set up,
upload, and maintain basic web pages and blogs.

It also means understanding terms such as "RSS" and "news
aggregator" because that's the next generation of how
information will get disseminated online (and it arrives
for the masses this year).

** Email Skills **

Perhaps the most deceptively simple of all the areas of
electronic literacy, email actually presents the most
challenges for keeping up with the times.

Previously, clicking the "send and receive" button meant
you were proficient at using email.

Now, because of spam, viruses and "phishing scams"
(identity theft schemes delivered through email), email
requires a whole new set of skills, "street smarts" and
software just to survive.

You must understand how to use an email "preview" program
such as MailWasher.net to eliminate spam and virus email
messages before they ever reach your computer.

You also must learn to protect your identity and avoid
"phishing scams" by learning to recognize and defend
against online con-artist tactics.

** Buy or Borrow Expertise **

Though you should constantly upgrade your skills through
personal education, nobody can do or know it all (except
maybe your know-it-all bother in law).

The good news is that you can always buy or borrow someone
else's expertise to solve any online challenge.

A prime example of outsourcing in the consumer market is
all the little stores popping up in strip malls to help you
sell your stuff on eBay.

Through outsourcing, online survival skills can also mean
taking what was previously the exclusive realm of computer
geeks and making it as easy as dropping off the dry
cleaning.

List of Top Paying Keywords For Google AdSense

I was just reading on Toon Choi Tan's blog over at Internet
MarketingAlarm.com that you can get a free list of 100 high
paying keywords by subscribing to Nana Gilbert-Baffoe's ezine.
If you are running Google AdSense, you sort of want to optimize
your pages for the top paying keywords in your niche (those
people are bidding the most for) because those keywords should
also pay the most per click. It might be worth subscribing to
get your hands on this list.

I haven't subscribed because I already have my own incredible
list. Sorry, it's not for sale or sharing.

Anyway, go check out Toon's blog.

PPC ClickFraud: It's a Bigger Problem Than You Think

"PPC ClickFraud: It's a Bigger Problem Than You Think"

By Merle http://MCpromotionsPress.com

Pay per click search engine advertising is one of the
most popular ways to promote a website. With Overture
and Google leading the pack, the industry as a whole
has grown immensely in the past few years. According
to a report by PriceWaterHouseCoopers, they estimate
that Internet Advertising brought in more than $9
billion in 2004 alone.

With PPC advertising you choose "keywords/phrases,"
then bid how much you'd like to pay for each click.
When a searcher goes to a search engine and types
in one of your keyphrases, your short text ad appears,
and if they click on it your account is then charged.
In a "perfect world" this is the way it would work,
but thanks to unscrupulous people, there's a dirty
little secret known as "click fraud."

Click fraud is simply the act of clicking on ads
for the direct purpose of costing the advertiser
money. It's similar to paying out cash for false
leads. According to InternetWeek.com, 60% of those
who responded to a survey conducted by the "Search
Engine Professional Organization" had stated that
fraud is a problem when it comes to PPC advertising.

So where does click fraud come from? Well, there
are actually a few different sources:

1) AdSense Users: Google Adsense has a program
called "Adsense" that pays website owners to
run their Adwords ads and compensates them per
click. Google does monitor this and it's against
their terms of service to click on any of the
ads on your own site. If they find a publishers
doing this, they will lose their accounts, but
some may still be clicking under the radar.

2) Your Competitors: Your competitors could be
clicking on your ads over a period of several
days in order to deplete your ad budget.

3) Software: There are those who use automated
clicking tools, such as robot programs, to
click on PPC listings.

In some Asian countries, people are often paid to
click on PPC ads for hours. Many don't know why
they do it, and don't care, only that they'll be
well rewarded for their efforts. If you do a search
on any search engine you'll see plenty of sites
looking to hire people for just this purpose. For
more on this see...http://tinyurl.com/2ka5g

Most PPC networks have measures in place to protect
you against click fraud. Overture tracks more than
50 data points, including IP addresses, browser info,
users' session info and what they call "pattern
recognition." They have a "proprietary system" in
place for detecting fraud and a specialized team
that monitors things and works with the advertisers
to stop it.

Google offers suggestions to avoid click thru fraud,
such as "using negative keywords" to keep your ads
from showing up for products and services that are
unrelated. They also suggest adding tracking url's
to your links so you can track the traffic coming
from Google. An easy way to do this is to add a ?
to your links along with the identifier. For example,
a tracking link to identify Google would look like
this:

http://www.yourdomain.com/?referer-google

If you go through your log files, you'll be able to
see your Google traffic at a glance.

If you suspect fraud, Google asks that you contact
them right away, as they have a team of researchers
that will investigate. They also take action to block
future impressions from anyone they identify as
committing click fraud. Like Overture, they also have
"proprietary technology" that distinguishes between
normal clicks and invalid ones. Google never bills
you for any "bad clicks" that are caught by their
system.

So what's an honest website owner to do? You need
to be alert to any "suspicious activity" by
researching your server logs or stats. If you're
experiencing a lot of clicks and no sales you'll
also want to take a closer look. You need to watch
for any spikes in traffic, usually on one keyword
or phrase and coming from only one PPC source. You
need to measure and track all of your PPC accounts
closely.

If this sounds like too much work, you may want to
look at an outside service to take care of it for
you. A variety of new services have opened recently
to help combat the click fraud problem.

1) Keyword Max: http://www.KeyWordMax.com

Offers up a service called "Click Auditor," which
monitors the activity on your PPC accounts and
alerts you to any suspicious activity. You can
request a free demo at the site.

2) Click Detective: http://ClickDetective.net

A website monitoring service that uses sophisticated
tracking mechanisms to determine whether "visitor
behavior" is normal or not. Offering a 15 day free
trial. Easy to use, you just copy and paste a snippet
of code on your page and add a campaign ID by logging
into your account.

3) Click Assurance: http://ClickAssurance.com

An Internet Security Firm that specializes in click
fraud. They will audit your PPC accounts and go
after any refunds you are due because of fraud.

4) Who's Clicking Who: http://WhosClickingWho.com

An independent auditing service that tracks individual
users for fraud. Can also detect abuse coming from
proxy servers. A one month subscription is
$79.00, which includes free installation and up to
50,000 transactions per month.

5) ClickLab: http://ClickLab.com/products/click-fraud

This service isolates bad clicks with a scorecard
based detection system. Pricing starts at $50.00
per month and is based on the number of sites you
need to track and their page views.

ClickLab also has a nice white paper you should
download while visiting: "How to Defend Your Website
Against Click Fraud."

Click fraud isn't going away anytime soon. If
anything, it will probably get worse before it
get's any better. It's up to you as a vigilant
website owner to do what you can to keep your
PPC advertising costs down. You can't stop it,
but with the right tracking in place, it can be
managed and controlled, and hopefully kept to a
minimum.

Are You Power Linking?

Russell Brunson over at http://MarketingStudyHall.com recently discovered the importance of Power Linking. My friend Jack Humphrey wrote a book on the topic a while back. Getting enough inbound links is what allowed Jack to reach what he describes as "Critical Mass." That's where you can actually stop promoting your business for a while (as in take a vacation) and your sales/traffic shouldn't drop off.

Check out Russell's blog at http://MarketingStudyHall.com

Check out Jack's book at: http://power-linking-profits.com/

You should spend some time each week getting inbound links to your site. That's a big traffic generation "secret." A link from the right site can send you tons of highly targeted traffic.

How To Sell More Big Ticket Items, The Real Key To A Six Or Even Seven Figure Income

My "Secret" To Selling More Big Ticket Items
Copyright 2005 by Willie Crawford

Many aspiring Internet marketers hear all of the talk
about earning a six-figure income and assume that it's
all hype. Some of it is hype, but earning a six-figure
income really isn't difficult. I've watched friends
generate "six figures" in sales as we sat together in
conferences or meetings! Today I'm going to tell you
how you CAN do it too. I'm going to give you a system
that I guarantee you haven't seen before. It's one I
created, tested, and now use extensively.

While I created this system, it's really just
adaptations of things we've all seen. That's the
beauty of it all. Earning six figures isn't rocket
science, - it's just common sense in action.

First of all, the key to earning a higher income is
selling more expensive "big ticket" items. You'll
notice I market many products in the $497 to $2997
range. Many of these products are offered through
affiliate programs and pay from 30-50% commission. It
doesn't really take a lot of sales of a $2000 item
before you're well on your way to six figures.

Before I share my secret system with you, I should tell
you that I thought of turning this information into an
ebook or special report and selling it. It's THAT
valuable! It's valuable because it works. Proof that
it works is the fact that at several recent Internet
marketing seminars, I've been the affiliate who sold
the most seats :-)

Here's my big secret.... I use off-line methods to drive
traffic on-line. I use off-line methods to make sure that
my message gets through and gets read. I have two primary
off-line tools that I use.

First of all, I use the phone a lot. If I have a contact
who has indicated he/she is interested in attending a
seminar or buying a product, I'll often call to see if
they have any questions. I close the sale on the phone
and then sometimes have them go to the on-line order form.
Lots of people selling seminar seats outside the Internet
marketing niche do this. You should too where practical.
Make a phone call and sell a seminar seat that pays you
as much as $1000 in commission. It makes perfect sense
doesn’t it?

The second tool that I use is snail mail... greeting cards
to be more exact. I send out hundreds of these greeting
cards to customers, and select prospects. It's a blend
of on-line and off-line marketing methods you’ve probably
never really considered. I've seen others using postcards but
greeting cards have more impact.

Here's my system with the greeting cards:

1) I use a system called Send Out Cards. It a
print-on-demand company that offers a number of different
plans. The plan that I use costs me less than $1 per card
(including first class postage). Basically, you select a
card from an on-line catalog of more than 2500 cards, enter
your message, enter the addresses, and click send. The
company prints, stuffs, stamps, and mails the cards for you.

2) Send Out Cards offers the ability to set up campaigns.
You can choose a series of cards to send out at specified
intervals. This works just like the autoresponder systems
Internet marketers are familiar with. You basically choose
the cards that you want to send out, enter your messages,
specify the interval for each card, and the system takes care
of the rest.

Here's how a power user like myself uses that feature. The
system also allows you to upload databases. So I've
imported most of my contacts into the system. I've also
subscribed many of these contacts to campaigns based upon
certain criteria. Let me give you a powerful example, and
continue spilling the beans...

As someone who has sponsored seminars and sold lots of
seminar seats, I know that someone who lives within driving
distance is more likely to attend a seminar than someone
who has to fly thousands of miles. How I use that is that
when I'm promoting a given seminar, I set up a series of
1-3 cards telling about that seminar and inviting people
to meet me there. Then one of the searches of my database
that I do is for everyone in the same state, or maybe just in
nearby zip codes. I subscribe those people to that greeting
card series.

I also know that people who have attended seminars before
are more likely to attend other seminars. They've had the
"value" proven to them already. So I have a sub-list of
people that I know like to attend seminars. I subscribe
these people to the card series for a given seminar too.

As you can see, I am selective in who I send these greeting
cards to... sometimes. After all, these cards do cost me
nearly $1 each to send. However, I don't have to worry
about email filters or other deliverability issues. People
like getting greeting cards and do open and read them. My
message gets through!

3) The greeting card system allows you to upload your
own digital images. I use that in two powerful ways!
Since it's common practice for affiliate marketers
to sometimes offer discounts or rebates, I include
those in my cards. Simply use your graphics program to
create a "discount coupon." Then upload this digital
image to your card to deliver your special offer right
into the hands of your prospect. You don't have to
worry about them missing the special in your email. It's
right in the card that you sent them.

A second way to use this feature is to take a photo of
you together with the client or prospect. Then include
that photo in cards you send them. This won't work with
the campaign feature since you use that feature to keep
from having to choose new cards for each individual. In
fact, with the campaign feature, you can use "tags" just
like you do with an autoresponder, to personalize each
card’s message with first name, last name, etc. It's very
powerful.

Now, I'm sharing this information with you for two reason.
First of all, I want you to see, and understand, how
you can actually earn that seemingly elusive six-figure
income. It takes just a little thinking outside the
box. Secondly, if you follow my advice and sign up
as a customer for the greeting card service, I earn a
commission. It's a multi-tiered affiliate program that
you can sign up for and earn commissions from too.

To get full details on how to sign up as a representative
with this company, simply visit:
http://SendOutCards.com Click on the link labeled
"Income Opportunity" to find out how to become a
distributor. Be sure to click on the link at the very
bottom of that page to have the commissions explained
to you. The system will ask for a referral number there.
Enter 2663. That's my referral number.

Back to thinking outside the box... I do sometimes
purchase co-registration leads. I don't always use these
in the way most people do. I sort the database of
10,000 - 25,000 leads (which is the size batch that
I buy) by state. I'm looking for all of the leads that
are from an area near the event that I'm promoting. These
are leads that are very fresh (usually less than 10 days
old) and that have indicated they have started, or are
interested in starting, a home-based business. I simply
upload those that are near the event and subscribe them to a
campaign I set up JUST for them.

I know... you're thinking, that could get expensive.
However, let's say that you find 1000 leads in that
database that are within a convenient distance for driving
to the seminar. If you're making $500 - $1000 for each
seminar seat that you sell, you don't really need to make
many sales for the campaign to pay off. You just have
to "know your numbers" and test small at first. What
you’re testing is the wording of the messages and quality
of the lists.

When I send cards to these leads, I also include one card in the
series that explains how they can profit by getting into the
greeting card business. I earn $150 for each new representative
that I sign up and fully train. The training is mostly automated.
That means I could actually spend up to $150 for each new
representative I find and still break even. As you can see, you
don't need very high percentages. The greeting card system does
sell itself to enough people to make it a no-brainer for me to
even mail to purchased leads. Again, you do have to watch the
quality of your leads.

This system can be used to sell all types of big ticket items
such as courses, video or CD sets, coaching etc. The key there
is to mail the cards, generally with a "discount coupon" to
people who already know you... your list members. This also
means that you need to break with tradition a little by asking
for more than just name and email address on your signup forms.
On some of my signup forms (from select sites) I do ask for full
address and even birth date. Why do I ask for birth date? So I
can send them a birthday card of course.

If your prospects see the value in what you are offering, they
will often give you their full contact information. You just need
to ask for it.

Another secret... the Send Out Card system can be programmed to
send a card automatically on a person's birthday, or it can just
send you a reminder. It's the ultimate high-touch marketing tool,
and secure on-line contact manager, that takes surprisingly
little time to use. People like it when you remember their
birthdays... sometimes you may be the only one who does :-)

I've just shared with you something that will allow you to
totally trounce your competitors. Chances are that even if your
competitors are reading this very same article, you can still out
market them because most of them won't use this information.
It's human nature. Your competitors will see that what I've just
shared makes perfect sense, and they'll think “someday.”
Meanwhile, you take action and soon discover yourself with more
money in your checking account than you use to make all year.

As you can see, making that six-figure income isn't hard. It does
take doing just a few things differently from what everyone else
is doing. It takes theability to think things through, evaluate
the risk, and then take action.

“The ball is now in your court!” If you didn't fully understand
the plan, you can email me for clarification. Use
willie@williecrawford.com :-)

I've just shared with you one of numerous ways that I "think
outside the box" and separate myself from the pack. I'll be
sharing a few more at Joel Christopher's and Ted Nicholas' Double
Birthday Bash, March 18th and 19th in San Antonio, Texas. I'd
love to see you there. You sign up for this mega networking and
learning

email and I'll rebate 25% of what you paid. I do practice what
I teach.

Media And Publicity Blog To Check Out

My friend George McKenzie has a really nice blog on pubicity. George and Joel Christopher co-authored a book that I bought called Mining Online Gold With An Offline Shovel. It's all about using offline methods to drive traffic to your website. I recommend getting a copy. It should be available on Amazon.

I first met George at Joel Christopher's Master List Builder Workshop in San Antonio in 2002. George, Joel and I last all three talked at Jason Cox's JV Seminar in Las Vegas a month ago.

I'm going to be at Joel's Double Birthday Bash in San Antonio March 18th - 19th. I'd love to meet you there. You can check it out here.

You can check out George's blog here. George has been on both television and radio in San Antonio. He's a great person to teach you about working the media.

When you see Joel in San Antonio, ask him about his show. He's becoming a media star too.

George and I will be releasing a product on generating free publicity. It's one of probably 20 different projects I have in the work. When I go to conferences and seminars, I set up these projects. Frank Garon and I should have something coming out in a month or two too. Be looking for both of these new products.

Craig Perrine, The List Profit Coach... Interesting Story

I just finished reading a letter from
Craig Perrine, The List Profit Coach,
about his bumpy journey to success.

I didn't know his background before,
but he's done some crazy stuff!

You may not have heard of Craig before,
he's known as The List Profit Coach
from his work helping hundreds of
people build profitable lists.

He came out of nowhere a couple years
ago when he partnered with Nitro Marketing,
but reading his story, it's clear he's
been an entrepreneur for literally
20 years since he was in high school.

I'm telling you about this because
Nitro Marketing is now looking for
someone to offer a million dollar
project they've got under wraps.

I thought you'd like to know about
this before everyone else does.

There's an interesting PDF for you here!

Automating Your Follow-up With Customers If You Use Paypal Or Clickbank!

I recently checked out a product that I now recommend
that allows merchants using Paypal as their only payment
processor to easily get their customer information into
a follow-up sequence.

I said "Paypal as their only payment processor" because
shopping cart systems such as my ProfitAutomation.com
allows a merchant to offer both Paypal and use a regular
merchant account... and to automatically subscribe the
customer to follow-up autoresponders.

One of the biggest problems with Paypal and Clickbank,
in my mind, has always been the ability to get the
customer data into some type of automated follow-up
system. If you don't follow up with customers who are
proven buyers, you're leaving MOST of the profit on their
table.

The Paypal product can be seen at:
http://WillieCrawford.com/paypal-customer-manager.html
That is an affiliate link.... he's selling a Paypal related
product but running his affiliate program through Clickbank :-)

I wanted to know if anyone here knows of/have used similar
products that they can recommend. I also want recommendations
for similar products that allow Clickbank merchants to
automatically follow-up with their customers. I admit, I'm
doing research for an article :-)

Thanks,
Willie Crawford

Millionaire Blueprint Magazine

Here's a news release on a brand new magazine that a friend helped launch. I have the premier issue on my desk and it's incredible..

$1,000,000aire Blueprints Magazine Makes Record-Breaking Debut
Arlington , Texas (February 25, 2005) ------- Texas-based $1,000,000aire Blueprints Magazine has been named "one of the most successful new magazine releases in the past 30 years" states an audited report issued by The News Group, a national wholesale distributor.

Since its January test release, the magazine's newsstand sales have reached close to 62 percent, in an industry where 38 percent is the norm, according to Tom Spinks, $1,000,000aire Blueprints publisher and founder. The News Group reports that less than 70 magazines in the nation - out of more than 3,200 out there - have newsstand sales of more than 50 percent.

Time Warner, the world's largest publishing group, decided to take on $1,000,000aire Blueprints as one of its clients following the magazine's successful five-state test release. The national debut of the magazine will take place in April. "Needless to say, we are thrilled with the public's response to the magazine and that Time Warner wants to get involved with a start up magazine is truly amazing," says Spinks.

What is the reason for this extraordinary public response that also includes subscription rates five times higher than the industry average? "I think this magazine has been so well received because it is totally different from anything else that is out there right now for a very large, emerging generation of entrepreneurs and business people," says Jim Pelletier, an industry expert with 35 years of newsstand sales experience and former NewsGroup sales director. "This publication is unique in the depth and type of information it presents in its detailed interviews with self-made millionaires. The format is entertaining and interesting, but it actually teaches - from examples and defining moments of extremely successful people who are willing to share invaluable information they have never been asked to share before."

Spinks says that the concept for this magazine came out of his frustration with traditional business publications success stories. "They would stir my emotions but they never shared the actual specifics that brought the money into their doors," he adds. Spinks says that he wanted to dig further into the stories of self-made millionaires and learn how they came up with the money to finance their businesses, how they got their customers, and how they stayed successful. The magazine he envisioned - now a glossy reality - would then provide detailed examples and step-by-step instructions that average people can copy and use to change their own lifestyles.
"$1,000,000aire Blueprints features do not dwell on the usual issues of attitude, enthusiasm, persistence, or dressing for success," Spinks says. "Motivational speakers, seminars, books, tapes, and conferences are all good and important, but they alone do not lead to success. What people need is a blueprint for their idea or business - a set of guidelines they can follow, gleaned from the experiences of others who have already been there and who know what works and what doesn't work."

One of the most remarkable things about this magazine's journey from concept to reality, according to Spinks, is the willingness of self-made millionaires to share their successful experiences, their failures, their thinking, and their defining moments. "In every single story, our subjects give us such specific information about getting and keeping clients, it will actually change the way people think about making money," he adds. "The strategies that successful people are sharing with us, and the details they are willing to provide, are simply fascinating. It could change people's lives."

$1,000,000aire Blueprints is published by Spinks Publishing in Arlington, Texas, and printed by Motheral Printing Company in Fort Worth, Texas. For more information, or for an advance peek at its record-breaking first issue, go to www.millionaireblueprints.com

To get full details on the calls including the call-in
number, send a blank email to my autoresponder at:
willie3-56875@autocontactor.com

If your site has not been reviewed, and you'd like a
free critique/makeover of your website, please submit
your url to me at willie@williecrawford.com Make the
subject of your email, "Request Website Review." We'll
take the first 3 that we get and schedule them for this
coming Saturday's call which be between 11AM and 12:30
PM Central Standard time. The next 3 that we get will
be planned for the following week. You do need to be
on the call for us to review your site.

If you have an established site, or even one that you're
getting ready to present to the world, I encourage you to
submit it for review. The only site I will discourage is
one that you have no control over the appearance or
content of. It does little good for us to suggest changes
to a site that you can't change.

I also wanted to mention that I'm planning on being a
speaker at Joel Christopher's and Ted Nicholas' Double
Birthday Bash in San Antonio, Texas, March 18th - 19th.
If you can make it to San Antonio, I'd love to meet you.
You can get complete details on this event at:

If you do have an interest in the Double Birthday Bash,
give me a call and I can offer you a discount on the
admission. You can call me at 1-877-262-3367. I have
my mother and my granddaughter visiting, so if I'm out
please leave a message. I promise to get back to you as
soon as practical.
