So after our second blockbuster hit “The Magic Bullet System” (sold out) following our first “The Magic Bullet Seminar” (sold out) we decided this is the route we want to take to build our business and network. (you’ll find out in a sec why..keep reading)
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?
