Buy Your Way To Success

You have always heard that the key to success is hard work. But hard work is not the only thing necessary. I could name dozens of people that work very hard (60-70 hours a week) and make less than 60,000 per year. Obviously, there’s something missing.

So what is the key? More importantly, what is the key to FAST success?

I believe the key is “buying” your way to success. When I look at the joint venture partners that have made me the most money in the last 5 years, they all have a common element. I either met them at a seminar or a mastermind.

For example, Jeff Herring and I have made each other a ton of money in the last few years. He promotes my products to his list and I promote his products to my list. Where did we meet? We met at a Matt Bacak event that cost $3500 to attend.

Bernadette Doyle and Carrie Wilkerson have also recommend my products to their list (and I return the favor). Where did we meet? We are in the same master mind together.

Jeff Mills asked me to speak at his event and through that event, I met Alejandro Reyes who asked me to speak at his event …where I met Joel Comm who wrote the NY Times best seller, “The Adsense Code”. Where did it all start? I met Jeff Mills at Armand Morin’s Big Seminar that costs $2000 to attend.

I could go on and on. Every time I invest in my own education by attending an information marketing seminar, I meet someone who will bring me thousands of dollars worth of business. And these seminars aren’t cheap. They run from $2000 – $5000 just for the seminar and that doesn’t include the air fare, taxi ride, hotel or food.

By far my BEST contacts have been found in a $15,000 master mind. And it makes perfect sense. Spend two days with like-minded people three times a year and you can’t help but come up with ideas to promote each other’s businesses!

So, if you want the FAST way to success (notice I didn’t say the easy way!), then sometimes it takes writing a check to meet like-minded people who will promote your products and services. Obviously, there’s a right way and a wrong way to ask …but you’ll never know unless you meet them face to face!

Webinars and Live Events

How does she do it?

I want to introduce you to a friend of mine.

Over the past few years she has DOUBLED or TRIPLED her income every year – breaking through the million dollar mark – yet she only works 3 days a week.

You may have heard of her – her name is Bernadette Doyle of Client Magnets.

Well, Bernadette is at it again, except this time she wants to teach YOU exactly how she has broken through the million dollar mark while working LESS.

And she’s doing it for free in her LATEST teleseminar “Stepping UP!” What it really takes to reach new heights in your business and your life”

on Wednesday 27 January, at 8pm UK Time, 3pm Eastern, noon Pacific.

(In a hurry? Grab your seat here: http://www.clientmagnets.com/cmd.asp?af=867618)

On this ground-breaking call you’ll learn:

* The 5 essential income streams you MUST have in place if you are serious about reaching 6 and 7 figures in your business (most business owners don’t know these)

* The ONE difference between YOU and those who are ALREADY achieving the results you crave (it’s very simple and once you grasp this, you will never look back)

* Meet Bernadette’s REAL LIFE SUCCESS stories – clients who have already ‘stepped up’ and are now achieving break- through results

* Bernadette’s single most important PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION that ANY solo-professional can use to make an extra £50,000- £100,000 THIS YEAR

Here’s that link again to reserve your spot in this complimentary teleseminar. http://www.clientmagnets.com/cmd.asp?af=867618

See you on the call! (I’ll be attending myself.)

Best,

Stephen Beck

P.S. As you probably know (and may have experienced yourself first-hand) doubling or tripling your business while working LESS is easier said than done. Let Bernadette walk you through her formula for truly STEPPING UP in your business and life! Reserve your seat here.

P.S.S. Feel free to invite friends and colleagues to this call, but please remember to reserve your spot HERE first!

Our Students Are Successful!

[In answer to a question he had about powerpoint...]

Dang that is so simple

You wouldn’t believe how hard that was to try to figure out from OTHER directions I found on the web.

Thanks so much for going the extra mile and making the video!

Social Marketing – How to Win in 2010 With These 5 Social Media Marketing Tools (I Use These Daily)

by Jeff Herring

Social Marketing is here to stay, and will become even more important in 2010. Here are 5 Social Media Marketing sites that I use daily that will help you to “win in 2010.” You need to get a presence on all 5 of these now if you have not already done so. In a minute I’m going to tell you a huge benefit of having a regular presence on all 5 of these sites, but first I’m going to share with you a few of the advantages of each site.

Twitter – Build a list on Twitter that is more responsive than your email list. Yes, you heard that right, more responsive than your email list. There are at least 2 reasons for this: 1) You bypass the spam filters of email programs and 2) you get immediate, as in within seconds, feedback on what you are offering, asking or saying. Do you get the power of that? Bypassing the spam filters and getting immediate feedback, just in case you missed it.

Facebook – Many online experts predict that a Facebook Fan Page will replace the standard email list by 2012. Think of it this way – if you sent 3 – 5 emails a day to your list, you would get unsubscribes in droves, right? But if you post 3 – 5 updates a day to your Facebook Fan Page you would not only get unsubscribes, your list would grow as your updates are seen by others in the stream of your fans.

YouTube – At the time of this writing, YouTube is getting twice the traffic of Google. Create a few slides in PowerPoint, use a Screen Capture tool like Camtasia, and talk about the information on the slides, upload it to YouTube and Boom! you’ve got a short little video featuring you and your expertise.

Your Blog - I think the coolest thing about a Blog is the ability to interact with those in your community. When you invite and encourage comments on your blog, you are inviting your tribe to share in the conversation. This builds so much “know, like and trust” and people do business with those they know like and trust.

EzineArticles - Not typically thought of as a Social Marketing tool, but it always has been for me. Upload a piece of your content and it can get syndicated all over the Internet. Plus you can invite your readers to comment on your articles, thus creating further conversation and connection.

Now here’s the really good news. Since you don’t have the budget of a Google or Yahoo, to plaster your name all over the Internet, it’s good that you don’t have to be found all over the internet. You just need to be found all over the internet in your niche, and when you have a regular presence on these 5 sites you will.

And to learn more about how to leverage the Social Networks for waves of traffic and more, get your FREE Instant Access to our Social Marketing Video Training Series when you visit http://SocialMarketingBlueprint.com/beck/.

You’ll get a series of videos, audios and pdfs all about Social Media Traffic & Profits.
