Another Blueprint Worth Checking Out

Look, you're going to get bombarded with emails about this soon (I'm pretty sure about that).

This guy has given me ideas that would blow your mind.

Anyway, he's remained relatively unknown and mostly works behind the scenes.

Well, it's his time to shine.

He's taking center stage for the first time on something big… VERY big.

I've been briefed on all the particulars over the past 6 months (in regular calls with him) and I will say that I'm proud to be a part of this event.

Would you like to know more about who this person is and what has me so excited?

PS - If the video is slow (and it probably will be, just optin… the second video is what you want to see anyway).

Are all customers scumbags?

Heck no!

BUT, the small minority of chronic refunders, complainers, and time hogs can easily make you think so.

So the point of this post is:

1. Don't manage your own customer service… ever.

2. If you do interact with your customers, realize that for every idiot you have to deal with, there are 99 others that are awesome. Don't let this one scumbag get you down.

3. If someone refunds more that twice, ban them from doing business with you again (modifed per Josh).

4. If someone complains and it's not warranted feedback, then ban them from ever doing business with you again.

5. If someone things you are their new best friend and feels compelled to email you daily, then ban them from ever doing business with you again. You can't afford to let time vampires waste your time.

There you have it…

Democrats

I had a killer post about Barack posted the other day and lost it in a database crash.

I like this video though…

People are PISSED (read now)

Something cool just happened.

It's all about Matt Bacak's last MEGA-successful launch and how he got flamed in the forums and betrayed by people he sincerely thought were his friends.

See what I'm talking about here:
http://www.on2url.com/app/adtrack.asp?MerchantID=63601&AdID=412023

While you're reading every word of the engaging story I strongly recommend you get a copy of his brand new CD called "The Dark Side of Internet Marketing" and here's why…

1. Matt Bacak is on the cutting edge (I mean he does work beside that Testing Freak) and the info he's sharing is explosive, relative, and current.

2. There's a surprise video you should watch right away after you purchase and this 21 minute video is worth $1000 by itself.

3. If you're not an active subscriber of Matt's Internet Marketing Dirt PRINT newsletter - then you're missing out and you should seriously RECONSIDER. It's GOLD!

Some people are already upset because they assume they've been singled out.

Anyway, read the tell-all story here:
http://www.on2url.com/app/adtrack.asp?MerchantID=63601&AdID=412023

Also - it's worth getting a copy to just SEE the spectacular marketing process the Testing FREAK helped create.

Talk Soon,

Woody

Get The Wordpress Project for FREE

What you are about to read is from a blog post over at The Wordpress Project. I have a strong vested interested in this, so please take the time to read this and act upon it. - The Woodster

—

There’s nothing that annoys me worse than clicking the Send/Receive button in Outlook and getting 43 emails all promoting the same thing.

Rarely anything stands out with that kind of ‘noise’.

The latest launch of PPC Classroom v2 is no different.

I’ve seen the course, I know the publisher, and I stand behind both 100%.

But I just couldn’t bring myself to create more noise in this marketplace.

Until I read something at 5:41am that compelled me to send this message to you.

The team over at PPC Classroom v2 is offering an incredible value for 24 hours only.

If you buy the course for $77, they are adding in the following bonuses:

Here’s a quick list:

1. Affiliatextreme - Mark Ling ($197)

2. AffiliateUprising & HexaTrack - Amish Shah ($2,000)

3. Premium NicheBot - Jim Morris ($382)

4. Google Cash v2 - Chris Carpenter ($67)

5. SECRET COURSE - Andre Chaperon ($497)

6. Keyword Butler - MindValley Team ($147)

7. SpeedPPC - Jay Stockwell ($397)

8. Negative Keyword Smackdown - Mark Roth ($247)

9. LIVE PPC Event - Howie Schwartz ($1,000)

You get ALL of those, just for TRYING PPC Classroom 2.0…

PPC Classroom v2

That’s over $5,000 you’re getting and you just have to try a system that’s already helped hundreds of students quit their jobs and make multiple 6 figures…

But I’m adding something special to this valuable package as well.

If you try out PPC Classroom v2 (and click the following link to request it), then I will also send you my own $197 course called The Wordpress
Project.

PPC Classroom v2

I’m actively selling this course right now and if you request the PPC Classroom v2 via the following link, you will get The Wordpress Project mailed to you for free.

PPC Classroom v2

How’s that?

But this is only valid from Friday 12 PM ET to Saturday 12 PM ET.

So hurry.

PS - No need to email saying you bought through this link. I will get a report from the affiliate manager of at PPC Classroom with a list of everything that bought through me. As soon as I get that list, I will ship you your copy of The Wordpress Project.

The Importance of Business Systems

If you choose to be a one man shop, the chances are rare that you will ever become a multi-millionaire.

At least that's what I've been told.

I've been told that I need an office. I need employees. I need this and that… whatever.

Here's how I run my business on the highest level and it's something that you can do too.

First, realize your strengths and weaknesses. My strengths are idea generation and initial implementation. I'm a starter, but once a business is in maintenance mode, I get bored. Thus, on bigger projects, I use partners or managers. Most of these people have a stake in the operation, so if it fails, they do to.

I look for partners that have all the traits I don't.

Next, while I work from home, my job is usually no more than creating a few videos explaining my concept and then turning it over to an outsourced team to implement.

Here's a problem I run into often… incompetence. Good LORD, I don't know how many people I have to go through when launching a new project before I get someone worth a damn. BUT, I always find that person. AND, every person up to that point uses the same training that I completed one time. So my time is wasted more with yelling at the outsource company project manager more than anything. Yes, that is annoying but a reality.

So at any one time, I could have as few as 5 people working for me and as many as 50.

I also have an admin that can coordinate a lot for me once my idea is on paper or on video. This person isn't necessary, but it's very nice to have them.

Now, a common problem is funding.

It's nice and all to lay out this plan (which works for me), but what if you have no money to fund the outsourced team?

Then here's what you do…

You buckle down and do project #1 yourself. It's a pain in the ass, but strive for at least 20k in net profit from this project. Then take 2k and give it to your wife or husband to blow and thank them for putting up with your long hours.

Take 8k and put it aside for taxes and bills.

Then take the remaining 10k and use that as payment for your new outsourced team. Have them knock out some quick hit projects that will continue to fund your new operation.

Looks simple, right? While it is on the surface, you will be dealing with a lot of crap along the way.

As long as you REALIZE this upfront and move past it steadily and calmly, then you will be on your way to reaching the success you want.

Enjoy,

Woody
