			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Do you enjoy having your fortune read to create optimism for the future? Well, today is YOUR lucky day!</strong></p>
<p><em>Let’s go on a journey together!</em></p>
<p>Remember when you were a kid and how fun it was to go to the carnival and just well… be a kid. Go on rides, play games, eat junk food, and maybe get into some trouble!</p>
<p>Imagine yourself there <strong>NOW</strong>! The smell of cotton candy, mini doughnuts, and popcorn fills the air! YUM! The sounds of people laughing and screaming!</p>
<p>But, you’re not here to play kids’ games! No way! Although, you still may feel like a kid, you’re a grown up now and you mean business!</p>
<p>So you head straight for what will help you create optimism for the future!</p>
<p>Not a fortune teller… No… Wayyyyy Cooler…</p>
<p><strong>ZOLTAR the GENIE MACHINE!</strong></p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-1569 alignright" title="Zoltar" src="http://www.amish-shah.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Picture-20-300x223.png" alt="" width="300" height="223" /></p>
<p>You put your 25 cents to have <strong>Zoltar the Genie</strong> tell your fortune and you ask him,</p>
<p><strong>“Zoltar, what are the Top 12 Predictions in Apps in 2012?”</strong></p>
<p>Well, since <strong>Zoltar is a super bad ass</strong>. He grants you this information.</p>
<p>Here we gooooo!</p>
<p><strong>Zoltar says…</strong></p>
<p><strong>1) </strong>By      the end of 2012, people will begin to switch from being App Consumers to      App Creators!</p>
<p><strong>2) </strong>App      stores will intelligently recommend Apps based on Apps’ number of purchases      and usage amounts.</p>
<p><strong>3) </strong>Apple&#8217;s      products -ipod/iphone/ipad- will be one of the top video game consoles along      with Sony products, Nintendo products, and Microsoft products.</p>
<p><strong>4)</strong> Smartphone      sales will pass computers!</p>
<p><strong>5)</strong> Apps      will become the main communication medium between businesses and consumers      using cloud technology replacing email, and they will function more like an instant      message or text message but with MAJOR enhancements.</p>
<p><strong>6) </strong>The      technology for the use of Apps will force hardware to &#8220;catch up.&#8221;</p>
<ul>
<li>Like       a cutting board in the kitchen with a screen on it showing you how to cut       those crazy flowers out of a carrot while you&#8217;re using the cutting       board to actually do it! <strong>Zoltar says</strong> that this app would be something       like <em>Gourmet Chef Training</em>, much like Disney has done with merging the       physical world with Apps.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Zoltar says</strong> that, “the advancement and development of Apps will give birth to a major boom and push in the hardware industry.”</p>
<p>AND HE SAYS THAT&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>7)</strong> Apps      will replace traditional media!</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Zoltar says</strong> that “it&#8217;s already happening so not really a prediction, although it&#8217;s       going to accelerate VERY rapidly!&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>8 )</strong> Amazon      will push hard into the app store space and the tablet space at      a much quicker pace!</p>
<p><strong>9) </strong>The      adoption of Android will grow faster than most people estimate because of      the flexibility.</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-1574 alignright" title="App Genie Bottle" src="http://www.amish-shah.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Picture-35-300x232.png" alt="" width="300" height="232" /></p>
<p>And for App Developers out there… <strong>Zoltar says…</strong></p>
<p><strong> 10)</strong> Companies that develop Apps for mobile e-wallet purchases and integration of social coupon sharing will explode and the Adapters that get into the game now will be bought out very quickly for huge sums of money.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Zoltar stated</strong> tag lines like, &#8220;Swipe your smart phone instead of your debit card&#8221; or &#8220;Tap it, Swipe it, and Buy it&#8221; &#8230; will pop up!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>11)</strong> And by adding a social plugin, it will take it to the next level.  <strong>Zoltar said</strong> that &#8220;Jim was able to send a 50 cent coupon for product X to 500 of his Facebook or social media friends.&#8221; <em>(Hint! Hint!)</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<ul>
<li>This will be the ‘personal sharing with friend’ and trust factor! Major brands will kill for this because they don&#8217;t have the power of trust Jim has with Jane, of course!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>12) </strong>And finally, as      India, and south America continue to get online with less internet      restrictions, <strong>Zoltar says</strong> that we’ll see a boom of hundreds of      millions of new people eager to consume on mobile, and advertisers and      <em>smart</em> App Developers are licking their chops!</p>
<ul>
<li>App Developers who want to focus for these markets are prime to be bought out       for enormous sums as well in a very quick time, 14 months tops.        Again the money is in the collection of the data.</li>
</ul>
<p>You say, “Awesome. <strong>Thanks Zoltar!</strong> You really are a SUPER bad ass. <em>But what about my fortune for 2012</em>?</p>
<p><strong>Zoltar says,</strong> <em>“2012 is YOUR YEAR! So DO IT UP!”</em></p>
<p><em>As always like/share this post on FB, Twitter, Google+, etc. AND would love feedback on &#8220;Zoltar&#8217;s&#8221; predictions. <img src='http://www.amish-shah.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </em><img src="http://www.amish-shah.com/?ak_action=api_record_view&#038;id=1562&#038;type=feed" alt="" /></p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Happy Tuesday! Grip it and Rip it!</strong></p>
<p>Last week, I was in Vancouver, BC, Canada ripping it up with the Bitzio team this past week! As I mentioned in my last <a href="http://www.amish-shah.com/life/movin-on-and-advancing-in-life" target="_blank">blog post</a> Bitzio (<a href="http://www.bitzio.com/" target="_blank">www.bitzio.com</a>) is the name of my Mobile Apps company that got acquired this past July. Oh ya…what&#8217;s even crazier is that it’s a publicly traded company now (stock ticker symbol is btzo.ob)!</p>
<p>It has been all-about-apps lately! And I wanted to share some insight into the industry with you on where I see it heading in 2012 after doing a bit of research.</p>
<p>First, some <strong>BIG NEWS!</strong></p>
<p>Somewhere at a computer Wednesday, December 7th, a developer pushed a button and the one-millionth mobile app went to market.</p>
<p>WOW! That’s just INSANE!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/12/technology/one-million-apps-and-counting.html?_r=1&amp;ref=business" target="_blank">NY times says…</a></p>
<p>14 days before the release of app No. 1,000,000, about 543 apps were released each day for Android-based devices, and an average of 745 apps hit the market daily for the iPhone, iPad and iTouch. The total for the two weeks across the Apple, Android, BlackBerry and Windows platforms was 20,738!</p>
<p><strong><em>Around 15,000 apps are released right now per week!</em></strong></p>
<p>And, <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2011/12/13/mobile-app-developers-are-choosing-apple-ios-over-android/" target="_blank">Google reported</a>…</p>
<p>The Android Market app downloads hit one billion per month, but Apple said that iOS downloads surpassed 18 billion in October.</p>
<p>73 percent of apps created for the fourth quarter are based on iOS, compared with 27 percent for Android.</p>
<p><strong>Apps are BLOW&#8217;IN UP! (Well, you knew this!)</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>So what do I think are the 3 BIG changes (or catapulting shifts!) coming in 2012 to the app market?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>And by catapulting shift, I mean these overall shifts are massively changing the market…and FAST! </strong></p>
<p><strong><em>BIG SHIFT #1</em></strong><em> &#8211; Developers moving into building apps for The Enterprise!</em></p>
<p>The consumer market is overcrowded and developers will begin to create apps for businesses!</p>
<p>From an <a href="http://www.sdtimes.com/link/36183" target="_blank">SD Times article</a>,</p>
<p>Since many of us are using our mobile devices to ‘do business,’ there’s an equally if not more lucrative opportunity for developers to develop &amp; build apps to make ‘doing business’… easier! Yes!</p>
<p>Actually… Partnerpedia’s recent survey showed over 80% of the 200+ respondents indicated they currently are or plan to offer mobile app solutions to businesses.</p>
<p>AND with third-party developers entering into the Enterprise IT field… well, this is going to revolutionize and drive innovation in business apps.</p>
<p>This is all ultimately result in increased productivity! And more fun and cool ways to go about doing business-as-usual.</p>
<p><strong>Here are a few biz apps that I think are BAD ASS:</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.yammer.com/about/product" target="_blank">Yammer</a>:  Yammer allows you to share ideas, get answers and stay connected with your team through multiple communication feeds in your company.  Cost: FREE</p>
<p><a href="http://hashable.com/beta" target="_blank">Hashable</a>:  Hashable allows you to track your business relationships; record meetings, calls and intros; and exchange business cards.  Cost: FREE</p>
<p><a href="http://www.beetlebugsoftware.com/itunes.html" target="_blank">Whiteboard Capture</a>:  Allows users to filter pictures of whiteboards to remove undesirable artifacts and get a near-perfect digital image.  Cost: $1.99/user</p>
<p><strong>The Next Biggest SHIFT…</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Big SHIFT #2-</em></strong><em> Apps will not only generate revenue </em>($15.9 billion in expected end-user spending in 2012) <em>but … INNOVATION. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>An overcrowded market means app developers are going to start getting very, very innovative and creative! Mobile carriers are no longer at the helm! With more of us using smartphones, internet players in the mobile space, and the rising-up of application stores, we’re reducing the dominance of the BIG mobile carriers! And this means, fewer rules! Anyone can bring an awesome app to the market now.</p>
<p><strong>This takes me to my next point!</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Big SHIFT # 3</em></strong><strong> -</strong><em> Apps with VERY unique features that cater to the mobile environment are keys to success in this over-crowded market!</em></p>
<p>The apps that will win our hearts will have wicked features, and WILL NOT simple be an extension of the ‘online’ version.</p>
<p>Innovative apps and technologies at the interface layer will have the competitive edge, for sure.</p>
<p>Over the next 24 months, Gartner Inc. expects the mobile functions, such as the ability to &#8220;check in&#8221; to a store to alert a retailer that you are there, or the ability to add items to a shopping cart simply by taking a photo of it in the store!</p>
<p>Wicked new features also means… SUPER advanced searching and a TON of entertainment-filled and productivity-fueled functions!</p>
<p>For the FULL report on trends for 2012 from Gartner, go here: <a href="http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=1230413" target="_blank">http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=1230413</a></p>
<p><em><strong>That’s all for now! Just thought I’d share some cool insights to where the mobile market is going!</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1502" title="ladderinsky" src="http://www.amish-shah.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/ladderinsky1.png" alt="" width="299" height="414" />It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve updated my blog and have recently been asked by a few people about my businesses and what I&#8217;ve been up to.</p>
<p>WELL&#8230;.</p>
<p>If you didn&#8217;t know, not just one of my companies but <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>TWO</strong></span> of my companies got acquired recently. One was around July and the other was late September/early October.</p>
<p>The first company that got acquired was a mobile apps company I started last year and the other was my main company DigiSpace Solutions that I have been running for the past 8 years. (and ran the last three years with my business partner and friend Jose Rivera AKA &#8216;Jay Styles&#8217;.)</p>
<p>At first, I didn&#8217;t believe that someone would be interested in buying my mobile apps company. I was quite shocked actually because I had only 70 small apps in the app store at the time and they wanted to acquire my system which rapidly created apps. My app company was profitable in it&#8217;s FIRST MONTH of operation, which is what caused them to look into my app company in the first place.</p>
<p>But, more importantly they believe SO much in my <strong>VISION</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p>My <strong>VISION</strong> to build a billion dollar company&#8230;</p>
<p>My <strong>VISION</strong> to create a company that will take Mobile Apps to a whole new height by bringing consumers, developers, and entrepreneur&#8217;s together&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>And the BIGGER vision is to create a new cellular phone with apps that actually <span style="text-decoration: underline;">HEAL</span> people (more to come on this in a later blog post&#8230;it&#8217;s super hush hush right now).</strong></p>
<p>After they acquired my Mobile Apps company, they changed their name to my mobile apps company. It&#8217;s called Bitzio (<a href="http://www.bitzio.com" target="_blank">www.bitzio.com</a>) and it&#8217;s a publicly traded company (stock ticker symbol is btzo.ob)!</p>
<p>Then, they approached me to acquire my main company DigiSpace Solutions. Now&#8230;this was even a BIGGER shocker because I had no idea that a public company would be interested in buying an &#8220;affiliate marketing&#8221;, &#8220;info product&#8221;, &#8220;marketing&#8221;, and &#8220;technology&#8221; company. Especially because Bitzio was so focused on Mobile Apps. But they wanted to acquire DigiSpace because of the technology we have been building&#8230;specifically the Magic Bullet System technology. The idea is to <em>eventually</em> take MBS and incorporate it into the other mobile tools that Bitzio is building.</p>
<p>Jose and I agreed that the offer was right and it made complete sense to do this&#8230;and to our surprise they bought DigiSpace too! Bitzio acquired the rights to the Magic Bullet System and everything related to it. <img src='http://www.amish-shah.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><em>If you thought MBS was gangster before, wait until you see what is in store for it in the future! Pretty crazy stuff.</em></p>
<p>During this whole process, I was a bit nervous&#8230;because I was an entrepreneur. I was all about building new courses, trying new things, and starting new businesses.  I was all about creating new things and building new things. It was always about ME.</p>
<p>But selling to a public company, becoming a part of a public company, and sort of &#8220;working&#8221; for a public company was <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>SCARY</strong></span>.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t know what was in store for me and what would happen.</p>
<p><strong>BUT</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p>I have to say it all worked out pretty well! I am now on what is commonly referred to as the &#8220;Board&#8221; of the new company, Bitzio, and will be leading the overall product vision for Bitzio. This includes everything related to mobile apps, technology development, and even the new MBS to some extent.</p>
<p>And so what is happening to Jose? Well&#8230;Jose and I have decided to part ways as far as business is concerned, but we still remain friends. We all have to eventually move on and grow within ourselves to reach the next level&#8230;and that&#8217;s where both of us are in our lives! Jose is starting a new, exciting venture and I know he has some really cool things in store for you&#8230;so if you haven&#8217;t already checked out his website and what he&#8217;s about&#8230;be sure to do so (<a href="http://www.jaystyles.com" target="_blank">www.jaystyles.com</a>).</p>
<p>What&#8217;s really cool about this new &#8220;role&#8221; for me is that I drive the business from a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>VERY</strong></span> high level. That means, I drive the vision of the company and I get to tell the company exactly how I see the company unfolding, what technology to build, and how we are going to make money. Then it basically gets done! (pretty cool&#8230;huh?)</p>
<p>So is this like being an entrepreneur?</p>
<p>Well&#8230;sort of&#8230;</p>
<p>Since I am pretty high level, I don&#8217;t have to manage a ton of employees or make sure things are done on time. I don&#8217;t have to worry about accountants, lawyers, project managers, and other things that every company needs. So basically I don&#8217;t have to worry about the day to day stuff that eats up time. This is because I now have a <strong>TEAM</strong> beside me to execute on tasks and make things happen! Pretty exciting stuff.</p>
<p>At the same time, I get to execute on my vision to build an <strong>LEGACY</strong>. An Empire. A crazy awesome fresh company that has visions larger than the universe.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to make my DREAMS come true&#8230;to build a billion dollar company that will TRANSFORM the world. Seems like a big task, I know&#8230;but where would I be if I never thought <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>LARGER THAN LIFE</strong></span>?</p>
<p><strong>This time I&#8217;m going BIG&#8230;REAL BIG.</strong></p>
<p>The best part about all this is that I still get to work on my &#8220;personal&#8221; projects and products. So expect to see some <strong>AWESOME</strong> new material from me in the coming months.</p>
<p>The new content is going to range from how to meditate, to how to build a business, to how to sell your business, to how to get into the Inc500, to finding yourself, to everything in between.</p>
<p>Are you living the life of your dreams? Are you going after your <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>VISION</strong></span>? Are you living your life&#8217;s purpose?</p>
<p>Remember &#8211; when you feel like your back is against the wall and you have to make a decision in life&#8230;YOU ARE RIGHT.</p>
<p>You have to move on and advance&#8230;so stop making excuses and make decisions.</p>
<p>See you next time!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I’m writing you from the sandy beaches of Maui where I’ve had some time to reflect on what it takes to affect change.</p>
<p>It’s true what they say…improvement begins with an I.</p>
<p>Yup.  Think about it…anything you want to improve always begins with taking a  good hard look at yourself and asking the questions, What’s going  right? What could I stand to improve?</p>
<p>Now isn’t THAT the truth?</p>
<p>Funny thing is, the same thing goes with your PPC landing pages.</p>
<p>Everybody knows getting the clicks in search is easy…but how well are they really converting?</p>
<p>Let’s  face it, it might be high time to check out your landing pages and  implement the following top ten tips to enhance your efforts:</p>
<p><strong>1)    I’m Not Asking for Much</strong><br />
When  asking first time visitors for information be brief, don’t scare them  off. Only ask for a few things but make sure you ask for information  that’s going to make you smarter the next time you communicate with  them. Forms with only 4-5 required fields—with a couple of them  optional—are optimal.</p>
<p><strong>2)    What’s In It For Me?</strong><br />
Be  sure to highlight your product or service benefits throughout the page  and have a clear call to action. Identify what you want your visitor to  do…and tell them!</p>
<p><strong>3)    Privacy Please!</strong><br />
Build  trust and enrich the user experience by reassuring visitors that you  respect their email privacy. Privacy policies matter—and make a big  difference in your opt-ins—so don’t miss this simple step.</p>
<p><strong>4)    A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Words…Almost!</strong><br />
Images  that relate directly to your service or product are great for  conversion. But keep in mind that a bullet point summary of the  product’s features and benefits will trump images every time.</p>
<p><strong>5)    K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid)</strong><br />
When it comes to copy, keep it simple. Too much text overwhelms&#8230;remember less is definitely more.</p>
<p><strong>6)    Size Matters…</strong><br />
It’s  true. If you want bigger profits, you’re gonna have to have bigger  opt-in buttons. The bigger the button the more it gets clicked.</p>
<p><strong>7)    Keep Your Promises</strong><br />
When  a visitor comes a calling to your landing page, keep your promises and  give them what you said you would. Plain and simple, eh?</p>
<p><strong>8 )    Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3…</strong><br />
Copy  is king when it comes to enticing your visitors to opt-in on your  forms. Since you never know what copy is going to speak to your  particular audience, be willing to test out different calls to action in  the copy directly above your forms.</p>
<p><strong>9)    The Heat Is On</strong><br />
Loads  of analytics, including heat maps, are available (many of them for  free!) to test where your potential customers are spending their time  when visiting your landing page. Find them and use them. Trust me, it’s  worth your time.</p>
<p><strong>10) Share and Share Alike</strong><br />
It’s  a social world we live in today so don’t be left out in the cold. Be  sure to include share functions for social media such as Facebook and  Twitter. Remember&#8230;happy customers are your best advertising! <img src='http://www.amish-shah.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Here’s to making the most of your landing page! <img src='http://www.amish-shah.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Aloha!<img src="http://www.amish-shah.com/?ak_action=api_record_view&#038;id=1456&#038;type=feed" alt="" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I normally don&#8217;t do interviews, but this dude has been on TV for 15 years and sold over $500 MILLION (yes half a billion) dollars worth of his own product. When someone like that comes into your life&#8230;you talk to them!</p>
<p>This is probably one of the WORST videos I have recorded&#8230;but not because of Dean, but because of some software called &#8220;Call Recorder for Skype&#8221;. It totally distorted my face and I look like some pixelated character from Atari. Not to mention it completely screwed up the audio too. Anyone know of any better &#8220;call recorders&#8221; for Mac?</p>
<p>Outside of the video quality, the actual interview was AWESOME. Some great Gem&#8217;s in here.</p>
<p>Not only is Dean Graziosi a GREAT marketer (you have to be to be on TV for 15 years) but has a GREAT mindset. He knows what he wants and he knows what he wants to deliver to the world!</p>

<p>I suggest you just check out what Dean has to say in his videos in the above link. Oh ya, his video&#8217;s are awesome. I think they are the future of all kinds of video from marketing to education&#8230;good work!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>
<p>First…</p>
<p>Thanks for being a loyal subscriber to my list.</p>
<p>Second…</p>
<p>As you probably already know, I&#8217;ve been on this online business journey for more than 8 years now.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been one heck of a ride and I&#8217;ve been <strong>WILDLY</strong> successful in various online businesses.</p>
<p>I mean…I&#8217;ve built <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>SEVERAL</strong></span> multi million dollar businesses…</p>
<p>(which almost seemed to happen overnight)</p>
<p>But every now and then I turn around and say to myself&#8230;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Why did I even start this in the first place?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>And that answer always leads me back to saying…</p>
<p><em>&#8220;To Help People.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>And now…more than ever…I have come <span style="text-decoration: underline;">FULL CIRCLE</span> to where I was when I first started marketing online.</p>
<p><strong>Let me explain:</strong></p>
<p>I remember how hard it was when I first started my online business.</p>
<p>I remember the sleepless nights, the constant reading, the video watching, the testing, the networking, the seminars, the product launches, etc., etc.</p>
<p>I remember in 2003, there wasn&#8217;t even close to 90% of the information and content that there is now. In fact, I had to teach myself everything I know.</p>
<p>I remember it all like it was yesterday.</p>
<p><em><strong>Then it hit me…</strong></em></p>
<p>That…for me to REALLY <em>&#8220;help people&#8221;</em>, I have to make things EASY for you to learn and to TEACH you what you WANT to learn.</p>
<p><strong>And that&#8217;s why I created this survey:</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/AmishFeedbackSurvey"> https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/AmishFeedbackSurvey</a></p>
<p>Whether you make millions of dollars a year or not, this survey is for <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">EVERYONE</span></strong> no matter what stage of business you are in!</p>
<p>There is no bribe here, there is nothing free for filling it out…no PDF, no special videos, no product&#8230;none of that.</p>
<p>Just a simple 10 question survey that will help me help YOU!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/AmishFeedbackSurvey"> https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/AmishFeedbackSurvey</a></p>
<p>Hope to see your responses!</p>
<p>Amish</p>
<p>P.S. &#8211; I&#8217;ve been reading this book called &#8220;Super Rich&#8221; by Russell Simmons. Pretty interesting book. There is this a part where he talks about <em>&#8220;giving&#8221;</em> as much as you can and letting the universe take care of the rest. And that&#8217;s exactly what I plan on doing&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re doing anything online, I suggest you take some time to read this post because I&#8217;ll be sharing some behind the scenes insights I see many people tend to overlook.</p>
<p>I get emails <strong>every single day</strong> about people pitching me their products and opportunities that they are launching online.</p>
<p>They tell me who they have on board, how much revenue they think they can bring in and how much I&#8217;m going to make.</p>
<p>But&#8230;</p>
<p>When I ask them what are they planning to do after the launch, they haven&#8217;t even thought about it yet.</p>
<p>They haven&#8217;t planned what&#8217;s next and how they are going to generate revenue after the launch is over.</p>
<p><strong>Because here&#8217;s the thing, even though you hear about launches doing millions of dollars &#8211; You don&#8217;t hear about the expenses involved.</strong></p>
<p>You hear about GROSS earnings.</p>
<p>You hear about what the launch generated in revenue <strong>BEFORE</strong> paying out your affiliates, 2nd tier commissions, launch prizes, support staff, refunds, and those who end up not even paying if they are on a pay plan.</p>
<p>You see, once all the expenses are accounted for at least 50% of your revenue is already gone.</p>
<p>When you start planning your launch you should also be planning what is next and how you can turn the product or service that you launched into an evergreen cash generating machine.</p>
<p>This way, you don&#8217;t have to rely on a launch every single time. Because, let&#8217;s be real&#8230;coordinating a launch is hard work.</p>
<p>It may look all rosy from the outside because you see people making a lot of money in just a few weeks time, but for the people on the inside &#8211; The launch begins months before the public even knows about it.</p>
<p><strong>You don&#8217;t see the copy that is written, revised, rewritten, and then rewritten again. </strong></p>
<p><strong>You don&#8217;t see the landing pages, the scripts, the videos, the designs, and the emails being changed and tweaked behind the scences.</strong></p>
<p>It gets hectic&#8230;of course <strong>the knowlegde and experience you gain is HUGE.</strong></p>
<p>But to have to do that every few months can get old really quick (Which is why we have only done two launches&#8230;ever).</p>
<p>Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, launches are a great way to get a quick cash infusion and a jump start to get your business going, but relying on launches as your main source of income is setting yourself up for failure.</p>
<p><strong>You&#8217;ll be putting yourself on your own product launch hamster wheel.</strong></p>
<p>With that being said, even though we fortunately never got into the habit of doing a launch every couple months or quarter&#8230;</p>
<p>We&#8217;re planning on turning MBS into an evergreen product.</p>
<p>Transitioning your launch into an evergreen product is the new content Jeff Walker has added into his Product Launch Formula course.</p>
<p>And as you probably already know, Jeff&#8217;s stuff works.</p>
<p>Collectively, his students have generated OVER $200,000,000 in revenue.</p>
<p>&#8230;And these are in various and even obscure markets.</p>
<p>One of his students, has an easy <strong>six figure business in the herbs market and he started off selling a board game!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ok, so back to us turning MBS into an evergreen product&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>This means we have to create a brand new funnel for MBS, write new email sequences, write new copy, re-work to funnel, re-organize the content, and test a bunch of stuff, etc.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a decent amount of work up front, but we only have to do it ONCE.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re going to begin this project very soon (In the next month or so), and if you want a behind the seens look at what we do to make it happen&#8230;</p>
<p>We&#8217;re going to let anyone who buys PLF through my link below to see behind the scenes of what we do.</p>
<p>Like I said, there is a lot that goes on behind the scences that the public doesn&#8217;t get to see. This is were the experience, wisdom, and huge insights are developed.</p>
<p><strong>And we&#8217;re going to document EVERYTHING.</strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll get to see from the very beginning to the end and all the testing and changes that occur in between to get where we need to be.</p>
<p><strong>Enough theory and information.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Now you get to see real action.</strong></p>
<p>Not only that, we&#8217;re going to give you an exclusive training on buying traffic.</p>
<p>Traffic is our specialty.</p>
<p>We know how to get traffic and LOTS of it.</p>
<p>So when you are ready to launch your product, you will also know how to drive OBSCENE amounts to traffic to your launch.</p>
<p><strong>And if you think that it takes $1,000&#8242;s to do buy traffic&#8230;think again.</strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll see what I mean when you get the training.</p>
<p>So if you want to get an insiders look behind the scenes of exactly what we do step-by-step to turn MBS into an evergreen product and how to drive massive traffic to your offer.</p>
<p><strong>Here are 2 simple steps to take:</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This blog post is going to serve three purposes:</p>
<p><strong>1) Explain why selling software is a VERY lucrative business</strong></p>
<p><strong>2) Explain why Trey&#8217;s new product &#8220;The Software System&#8221; is the best courses on selling software there is</strong></p>
<p><strong>3) Reveal my iPhone App Secret that VERY FEW people in the WORLD know about (and how you can get this bonus)</strong></p>
<p>Okay, so first of all software was created to help people solve a problem.  Right?</p>
<p>Spreadsheets were replaced by Excel and other spreadsheet software.<br />
Typewriters were replaced by Word and other word processing software.<br />
Hand drawn graphics were replaced by Photoshop and other graphics software.</p>
<p>And those are just COMMON examples.</p>
<p>Look at the iPhone and iPad market. These little devices have &#8220;apps&#8221; that are replacing everyday tasks and automating them.</p>
<p>I was talking to a friend the other day and he said his wife is using a &#8220;breast feeding schedule&#8221; app which times how long you breast feed and the intervals in between.</p>
<p>Then he mentioned they have an app where you can use your iPhone as a baby monitor.</p>
<p>I was pretty damn shocked to hear you can use your iPhone as a baby monitor.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s next?!</p>
<p>So what is it about software and apps that makes people NEED them?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s quite simple.</p>
<p>It SOLVES a problem and AUTOMATES tasks.</p>
<p>Us as humans are always looking for ways to make your lives easier through simplifying our everyday tasks.</p>
<p>When I first started marketing online about 8 years ago, I realized I was doing almost everything manually.</p>
<p>From tracking my data in spreadsheets to using databases to spit out reports to building landing pages in dreamweaver! Along with soooo many other things that were just repetitive tasks.</p>
<p>So what did I do?  I started creating systems that help automate these repetitive tasks so I can free up my time to concentrate on making money and growing my business!</p>
<p>Later on I went on to sell this system which is now commonly referred to as &#8220;The Magic Bullet System&#8221;.</p>
<p>A good friend of mine, Trey Smith (who is releasing &#8220;The Software System&#8221; in a couple days), did something very similar with software, but with a twist…</p>
<p>About 3 or 4 years ago, during his first year online, he created television software which allowed you to watch TV on your computer which he sold on ClickBank.</p>
<p>Pretty simple concept right?</p>
<p>Well guess what?</p>
<p>Would you believe he made over 1 million dollars his FIRST YEAR with this software?!</p>
<p>He then later created another piece of software in the hypnosis market which led him to make over 1 million dollars AGAIN.</p>
<p>You can see more of that story here: <a href="https://infomillion.infusionsoft.com/go/soft1/imasscontrol/" target="_blank">https://infomillion.infusionsoft.com/go/soft1/imasscontrol/</a></p>
<p>So what did Trey do?  He found people&#8217;s problems and helped automate the task, but in completely different markets!</p>
<p>Brilliant!</p>
<p>Trey later went on to make a couple more pieces of software which helped people solve common problems…and he made a bunch of money selling those too!</p>
<p>But most recently, he created an iPhone app. This app didn&#8217;t really solve a problem. It was simply a game based off the old school game &#8220;Simon Says&#8221;.  Within a week his app hit the charts and he was making over $100 a day with the app on complete auto pilot.</p>
<p>You can see more of that story in his second video here: <a href="https://infomillion.infusionsoft.com/go/iphone/imasscontrol/" target="_blank">https://infomillion.infusionsoft.com/go/iphone/imasscontrol/</a></p>
<p>Okay, so now here&#8217;s my juicy secret&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been secretly making iPhone apps for the last 3 months…in fact I&#8217;ve made over 100 of them.</p>
<p>Yep, over 100 iPhone apps.</p>
<p>Now most people think they have to spend at least $500 to make an iPhone app.</p>
<p>WRONG.</p>
<p>Mine cost less than $12 each. <img src='http://www.amish-shah.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Out of the 100+ iPhone apps I have created, I have over 50 apps approved and in the App Store.</p>
<p>Guess how many downloads I have?</p>
<p>OVER 200,000 downloads…and averaging about 3,000 downloads a DAY.</p>
<p>And these apps continue to make me money everyday, will continue to make me money everyday and I&#8217;m not doing much at all.</p>
<p>So why am I even telling you this?</p>
<p>Because…I am going to reveal this closely guarded secret. (Don&#8217;t ask me why?!?)</p>
<p>I was going to actually release an iPhone App course sometime in May, but I am going to give everyone who buys The Software System on Thursday, February 10th, access to this information as a bonus. I think it&#8217;s the PERFECT addition to Trey&#8217;s course.</p>
<p>I can guarantee you that VERY FEW people in the WORLD have so many apps at such a low production cost.  And EVEN FEWER know how to actually make apps that get &#8220;downloaded&#8221; and ranked on the charts.</p>
<p>Did I mention that one of my apps may be featured at SXSW coming up in March? And it only cost me $10 to make! (more on that in a later post.)</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve figured out a SYSTEM that will allow you to:</p>
<p>1) Find The Perfect Markets for iPhone Apps<br />
2) Build iPhone Apps Fast &amp; Cheap<br />
3) Get Massive Amounts of Downloads<br />
4) Rank in the AppStore Charts and Searches<br />
5) Monetize your apps for long term residual income</p>
<p>And the ONLY way you can get access to this bonus is if you buy Trey&#8217;s course &#8220;The Software System&#8221; on Thursday, February 10th through this link:<br />
<a href=" https://infomillion.infusionsoft.com/go/blackbox/imasscontrol/" target="_blank"></p>
<p>https://infomillion.infusionsoft.com/go/blackbox/imasscontrol/</a></p>
<p>After you purchase it, please forward your receipt to support {at} themagicbulletsystem.com.</p>
<p>Pretty simple right?</p>
<p>In the meantime, go to the links above and watch his videos. You can learn a lot from them!  Especially the last link I pasted above…he talks about how Zuckerberg (Facebook dude) uses a technique called &#8220;Black Box&#8221; to actively stay in communication with his users.  Pretty crazy stuff.</p>
<p>Oh ya, one more thing…I REALLY want to share this Software System Bonus with you! But I may limit the number of people who get this bonus…because quite simply put &#8211; it&#8217;s just too powerful. See you on the other side!</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>UPDATE</strong>!</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">TWO MORE BONUSES ADDED!</h2>
<p>1) I am going to PERSONALLY review your software on my blog which has a TON of visitors a DAY. If you know me, I don&#8217;t &#8220;review&#8221; people&#8217;s products on my blog for money. I put up reviews on software that I BELIEVE in because I don&#8217;t believe in bribes.</p>
<p>2) I will give you VIP Access to my MBS Seminar this May. The value of this seminar is well over $4,000. Even  Trey  himself said…&#8221;You guys did it right…GREAT JOB.&#8221;<br />
John Reese and other TOP internet marketers called it &#8220;The Best Seminar Ever.&#8221; Check out what our community had<br />
to say about our seminar here:  <a href="http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=-1&amp;msgid=0&amp;act=11111&amp;c=661431&amp;destination=http%3A%2F%2Fmbstestimonials.s3.amazonaws.com%2Findex.html" target="_blank">http://mbstestimonials.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html</a> (and that&#8217;s just HALF the testimonials!)<img src="http://www.amish-shah.com/?ak_action=api_record_view&#038;id=915&#038;type=feed" alt="" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I literally JUST finished uploading a video where my business made an extra $14,435.75— and it took us about 1 hour.</p>
<p>Wanna see it?</p>
<p><a href="http://goo.gl/77yTZ">http://goo.gl/77yTZ</a></p>
<p>STOP! I need to tell you something VITAL first…</p>
<p>Some KEY points that I am going to teach you.</p>
<p>Before you watch even the first 30 SECONDS of this video, please understand the following 3 KEY points:</p>
<p>—————&#8212;&#8212;-————-<br />
#1 – Traffic Disruption<br />
——————&#8212;&#8212;-———-</p>
<p>There’s been a massive disruptive force in Online Marketing.</p>
<p>Getting Traffic has completely changed, and it’s killing most other businesses.</p>
<p>But NOT my business.</p>
<p>They have spent millions of dollars architecting a system that creates and manages huge magnitudes of traffic.</p>
<p>…Without the worry of Google Slaps or reduced quality scores.</p>
<p>——————————-—&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;——-<br />
#2 – Three BEDROCK Principles<br />
——————————&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-———-</p>
<p>If you’re not “Reducing Risk to Almost Zero”, Automating Smartly, and using Volume Control…</p>
<p>You’re not generating profit, period.</p>
<p>————————&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-——-<br />
#3 – Three CORE Models<br />
—————&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-—————-</p>
<p>It took years.</p>
<p>Literally, YEARS of our trial and error and MASSIVE testing to verify the Three critical Core Models that have guaranteed our explosive growth.</p>
<p>(My video will show you that too).</p>
<p>So, I have to ask you a Question:</p>
<p>How’s your New Year been. I mean, so far?</p>
<p>Make Lots of Resolutions?<br />
Have you said “This is THE Year” to your self?<br />
Making lots of To Do Lists?<br />
Making sophisticated plans and flow charts?</p>
<p>But—have you DONE anything yet? Got any $$$$ Results?</p>
<p>To get RESULTS, the kind that you can measure in PROFIT, please watch this video.</p>
<p><a href="http://goo.gl/77yTZ">http://goo.gl/77yTZ</a></p>
<p>The $14k in 1 hour is just the start.</p>
<p>Also, keep an eye on the Case-Study called “Ten TIMES MORE Opt-Ins”.</p>
<p>This is the right way to start off your New Year – with Actionable Information.</p>
<p>P.S. “An Award?” Yes. Our techniques have been so successful that a MAJOR organization actually gave their company an Awesome Award.</p>
<p>This is no joke.</p>
<p>In the first 5 minutes of the video, you’ll see what I mean.</p>
