So the whole point of this video was for the attendees. They played this inside the Hard Rock ballroom that we rented out and it was to make it seem like we were dreaming of partying and having a blast and we forgot all about the seminar and then we got ready and ran down! So the part of us walking into the actual ballroom and shaking everyone’s hands was filmed AFTER and then put together.

Sick idea on the production teams part! Shawn and his team are the SHIT for any event or film stuff.

If you didn’t know we have a chef that comes into our office everyday and cooks everyone breakfast and lunch…his food is pretty damn good!

Anyway, this dude is a riot…a bit weird..a bit crazy…but u gotta see these videos of him dancing and him freestyling!

Two videos that will just make you LAUGH.

INSANITY!

a lot of you have asked for the recipe so here it is!

here is the deal with this recipe – it helps with EVERYTHING you do. This thing packs more nutrition in one glass than you get in a MONTH.

Healthy and Clean Smoothie = Healthy and Clean Mind = Getting what you want

you can get these ingredients from http://www.ultimatesuperfoods.com/ and Whole Foods and http://www.sunfood.com

First we have to make a base for your smoothie. This basically allows you to put as much healthy shit in you want without it tasting bad! I learned this little secret from Len Foley, the master smoothie maker over at www.thebestdayever.com. (killer site by the way) The smoothie below makes about 4 cups.

Start off with half an inch of water and put it into your vitamix.

Add:

1. Spoon of raw and organic honey
2. Spoon of raw/organic coconut oil
3. Pinch of organic sea salt
4. Handful of organic cashews or organic brazil nuts
5. Two squirts of vanilla stevia

Blend on high until silky smooth. Now you have your base!

Now Add:

1. Half a cup of Organic Frozen Berries (or fresh berries like strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, etc.)
2. 1.5 – 2 cups Coconut water or some kind of nut milk (I prefer coconut water, but I do use nut milk sometimes. Such as vanilla almond milk or hemp milk)
3. 2 to 3 (or more ) big tablespoons of Cacao Powder
4. 1 – 2 teaspoons of Goji Berry Extract powder
5. Handful of Goji Berries
6. 2 to 3 tablespoons of some kind of seeds (I like Chia seeds the best. But you can use flax seeds)
7. 1 – 3 scoops of SunWarrior Protein
8. 1 – 2 tablespoons of tocotrienols
9. 1-2 tablespoons of SunWarrior activated barley (optional)
10. 1 tablespoon of maca extreme (be careful! )
11. 1 -2 tablespoons of The Sun is Shining (or spirulina)
12. 1 tablespoon of organic peanut butter (optional)

Blend that all up until smooth and enjoy!

You can basically mix and match ANYTHING you want and be okay. The more you put, the thicker the smoothie will be. As you start making more of them and watching what you put everyday, you’ll get a good idea of what works for you. There is so much you can put into smoothies its incredible. Like I said, once you have your base, you can dump stuff in and it’ll still taste good! The ingredients above are just some of the things I put in my smoothies. Some days I put other stuff and substitute. All depends on what you feel like.

The best part is, they taste GREAT and they make you feel GREAT.

Well, of course you did! That’s because you should!

The bottom line is that List Control is a solid product, it WORKS and it’s on sale on Monday, March 15th, at 12pm PST.

I know Frank personally and he’s a GREAT guy with a SOLID marketing background! He’s worked with HUGE companies to help them boost their revenues via products, launches, and building email lists.

Check It Out Here! >>

List Control will help you in any type of online marketing because without a list, you do not have a long term business model!

So, this is ESPECIALLY important to those who are in or interested in the CPA marketing and affiliate marketing world.

The reason why I say it is especially important to CPA/Affiliate marketing is because when you drive traffic to CPA/Affiliate offers you lose out on “potential customers” that just leave your site.

The shocking TRUTH is that MOST affiliate marketers don’t build lists AT ALL.

What if you added an Opt In form to all your landing pages? And what if you captured just 1% of those “potential customers”, built a relationship with them, and have them in your sales funnels?!

What if  5% of those Opt Ins converted into sales?

YOU DO THE MATH!

The important thing is you have to know HOW to build a relationship with that LIST and make it WORK for you.

It doesn’t matter WHAT, HOW, or WHERE, you market online!

That said, you’ll notice that I’m quick to tell you what products are good and which ones are crap. It’s my intent to be completely objective in my reviews, and if you happen to decide to buy any product after reading this website, that’s great – if not, I’m glad I could provide the information to help you make that decision.

I’ll probably NEVER do it again, since this 1 minute clip took me almost 4 days! that’s why they got video editors!!

Full screen this video! It’s SICK.

Enough of the bullshit that’s out there!  I have respect for VERY few “guru’s”. You will not see me mail their product for the fun of it or to just make a quick buck.  I honor my word and I respect your opinion of me and us as a company.  If you’ve been on my list for a while you know this already! Sure I’ve mailed some BS before, but never again (i’ve gotten wise in my days).

You see:

YES – there are a LOT of guys who sell shit products and take your money.

YES – there is a LOT of junk out there.

YES – there are a LOT of guru’s who don’t give a rats ass about you or your success.

We’re different.

We’re 2.0.

It’s time for this community to ACCEPT products that ACTUALLY work.

But with every launch and “guru” product there are haters.

So all the haters out there, keep on hating.  I can’t stop you, but just know you don’t bother me. At all.

Hater’s gonna keep on hatin’. Most are just really jealous and/or envious.  All three of those traits – hate, envy, jealousy – are not making that person ANY better and they are not improving their life by any means by putting those feelings out there. Negativity can bring you into a hole that will dig deeper and deeper and deeper until you just hate everything. Trust me, I’ve been there. I hated on everything imaginable at one point in my life. But once I shifted my whole thought process and brain washed myself into positive thinking, my whole life changed.   Make sure to look at the positive side of EVERYTHING.  And when I mean everything – I mean everything.

Anyway, I don’t like the word “guru”.  I’m a visionary. I see the future and how I want it and make it happen. That’s the bottom line.

And to set me aside from the “gurus”, I actually know what I am talking about when it comes to CPA, Affiliate Marketing, PPC, Media Buys, etc.  I mean who else has shown COMPLETE transparency during a launch?  I showed RECENT stats with RECENT campaigns.  Not some campaign I ran three years ago.

It’s about CHANGE. (yeah barak, i stole that from ya.)

Anyway, enough mushy stuff.

Here’s the dirt:

Most affiliate networks build their networks, try to get exclusives, blah blah blah.  THEN they try to get affiliates.  It’s like starting a business without customers.  Then you need REAL good affiliate managers to go and get big time affiliates that are pretty damn loyal to their “choice networks”.  By “choice networks” I mean, the top 5 these big affiliates run with and love. That’s a tough task to accomplish without a large scale popular network.

A lot of networks get newbies and usually ignore them.  I mean yeah sure 20% of affiliates inside a network bring 80% of revenue.  I remember being a newbie in this game and trying to figure stuff out.  I would get a list of TOP performing offers from my reps and that’s it.  No training, no traffic sources, no nothing.  Just what’s working network wide.

But no one ever thought to teach them HOW to do it.

I see that starting to slowly change as far as giving affiliates what offers to run and where on the internet to run it, and that’s a good thing.

Anway, here I am, 5 years later in this whole affiliate marketing game and thinking back to how I felt. Imagine if I had the RIGHT training and tools back then. That would mean, my learning curve would be 5X shorter and my tasks would be 20X faster. Now if we can get the right training and tools to the right people and even if 20% of those think like I did 3-5 years ago, then we just made the next super affiliates.

So why not START with customers first?  Give them the tools and training they need to be super gangster affiliates.  Ya sure, newbies are hard to deal with and it’s a lot of work, but as long as I know I TRIED to give them an opportunity to make money from the bottom of my heart, that’s what counts. There will always be people who complain they never made money and have never even made a website.  They expect it to just come to them? It does take hard work, dedication, perseverance, and most of all BELIEF.

So many people are so greedy and just want the money for themselves.  Why? What’s the point? It’s in abundance and there is ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE.

We gave away two campaigns that were making us over $1.5k a day.  That’s a LOT of money.  But who cares? Seriously. There are millions of those little pockets of money, just waiting for someone to get ‘em. Have you seen the two pages of ads for “msn messenger”. hahahah!

—BEGIN RANT—

We even gave NeverBlue ALL the people who watched our video and signed up to get the smiley offer. They actually CALLED me and said they are getting a TON of new sign ups but I don’t have any referral link setup and they can’t put any referral affiliates under my account.  I then setup the referral link on the launch blog and then they said they are still getting pounded for smiley offer because of my video and can’t give me credit for any of the referrals!

I find that a bit comical actually. They are still cool though.

—END RANT—

Ok so where was I.  Oh ya – our network….

So remember my blog post that was titled “Affiliate Marketing vs Internet Marketing vs Brand Marketing” ?

Well we are on our way to making this a REALITY.

We brought the affiliates to the network via the software and launch. And our software doesn’t just support yMultimedia. It supports any network you want. We’re not forcing any of our customers to use yMultimedia.

So now it’s time to get to work to make these dudes into superstars by giving them EVERYTHING they need to pump out profitable campaigns.

If we get 500 people who put out 10 websites each – that’s 5K websites out there all using our system! And hopefully they will run our campaigns, if not, cool. As long as they are DOING something.

Oh ya – and thanks to ALL my staff for making this thing go off without a hitch.

And Jay Styles of course – the man behind the scenes making the gears turn for this company.

We just might be onto something here, if not, then at least we tried. We shall see.

See you at ASW!

EDIT – this just in – We got booted from the ClickBooth party at ASW because they think we are “promoting our network hard”. Understandable, even though we aren’t. (do you see us buying up all the media on aff sites? umm…no). Even though we did over $2 million with them last year? Huh? We did that when we were pubs… not a network! Scared we are going to take their pubs maybe? I don’t really care to take anyone’s pubs, I just wanna go to drink and have fun. Look at this whole post I just wrote?!  Can’t invite people to a “private” party and then take it away. LOL…haha! Ahh the way this game works. Gotta love it. I guess, they are still cool though?

I’m late on posting this (contest ended on Dec 15? which is today?), but you know what – I’m going to post it anyway. Silly me for not paying attention to what goes on in these ridiculous communities of people who do nothing but boast themselves and give away crappy information. Did you ever read my post about DOING STUFF and stop information overload? Well maybe you should! (don’t take that too hard please. just keeeeding!)

Anway –

Here’s what the contest entails:

Announcing the ShoeMoney ASW 2009 Contest.

1 lucky winner will win:

* 1 Platinum pass to Affiliate Summit (by Affiliate Summit)
* 3 Nights hotel paid in full (by Affiliate Summit)
* Airfare – up to $500 in airfare reimbursement.
* Roll with me to some super badass private parties

Now for the gambler part of it you get your choice of:

$1,000.00 cash yours to keep and walk away with.
OR
$2,000.00 cash with the stipulation you must bet it all on 1 hand of blackjack OR 1 spin of the roulette wheel betting either red or black.

How do you enter?

Write a blog post explaining why you should win this amazing opportunity and submit the url to your page in the comments below. Also make sure you tell us your decision to walk away with the cash or gamble… and if you gamble on what?

And here’s why I should win:

1) I don’t use HummingBird or some wack programs to get followers on Twitter. (but somehow I’ve gotten over 3,000 followers and continue to only follow people I want)

2) I don’t bid on PPC for Affiliate Marketing terms to build “my brand”. (but somehow I get over 800 uniques to my blog a day)

3) I don’t need a fake Facebook Fan Page to look cool. The people I have are REAL people who are fans of me. Not just randomly throwing people in there via Gmail and Autoresponders (I know all the secrets kids…stop playing games).

4) I like to help people succeed in making their dreams become reality.

5) I will match what ShoeMoney is putting up (wait he’s not putting up anything, affiliate summit & azoogle are, oops). So, basically I will be having my OWN contest, where I’ll be giving away what ShoeMoney gives away * 2. (I’m going to match what he’s giving away!)

That means I’ll give you:

1) Another pass to Affiliate Summit (Yay! Bring a Friend!)
2) Another 3 nights in a hotel. (get a suite man..seriously)
3) Another $500 in airfare (might as well upgrade to first class)

5) Free access to my next seminar. How about that? (it’s worth $4k)
6) Some cash for you to blow in Vegas!

Done & Done.

Vote for me.

Check out my best customer “testimonial”…lol

In the internet marketing world I called this “Marketers block” or “Affiliate block”. Where you just have done so much work you get “burnt” and you can’t continue to do anything else and just sit on Twitter and Facebook all day. (both of which are a complete waste of time). Or you just sit around refreshing Gmail and your aff stats all day. When this happens, you either have to just step away for a couple hours. If it gets to the point where you are doing day after day after day, JUST LEAVE. Don’t think about it for a while, a couple days, weeks, whatever.

This basically gives your brain some time to relax and realize what you really want to do. So when you DO get back into work mode you can be twice as effective in what you do.

So when this happened to me recently I just left and went to Maui for 6 days. Just to get away and be in a different environment. Away from everything. Sure I checked emails every now and then, but that’s okay. “Marketer’s” block doesn’t usually happen to me a lot because I absolutely love what I do, but when it does, it hits me hard.

Check out some pics from Maui:

While in Maui, I decided to rent a new place and get a complete change of scenery for when I get back to Cali. I signed the papers from the resort and faxed them back to the real estate agent. I came home and the next day I started packing and moved out.

Anyway, a couple people hit me up on FB and Twitter asking me about my new house. This place is bad (“not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good”) and I figured this was the only time I would be able to live in a ridiculous place like this. My front yard is the beach! The place is 4 bedrooms, super contemporary modern, glass everywhere (even the steps), a retractable roof, and just pure gangstaness.

Who said affiliate/cpa marketing is dead?

That’s not the only thing we do at the company, but it’s a huge piece.

Anyway, here are some pics of the new house that I took from my iPhone. They aren’t the best pics in the world, but decent. Check it -

Speaking of this new house, here is another thing that caught me off guard. I always write stuff down in my notepads. Everything related to my business and my personal development is written down in this notebook. I have 10 of these things full of ideas, biz stuff, thoughts, doodles, and other cool stuff. Check out this list I made about 5 months ago (I blurred some stuff out because those ideas are top secret.)

Now look at the first thing I wrote on that list. It actually came true. Just goes to show that visioning and writing down what you want in life works. I actually accomplished a lot on that list and just a couple more things to go!

aaaaaaaaaannnnnddddd i’m out. time to make more of my stuff reality.
