Brad Fallon

One of the things I tried to do this past weekend at StomperNet LIVE is try to get a feel for what our members and subscribers are struggling with.

And there's one thing that I heard over and over and it's the problem of finding fresh content. The fact is simple - you need it! And lots of it.

That's why I'm excited to show you this free content tool.

Trust me, you're going to need something like this eventually, so better to add it to your aresenal now that it's at 100% discount off the normal $300 price tag. Duh, right?

Fresh content is the food that the search engines want in their indexes.  Fresh content is what your potential visitors are dying to get more of.

Whether it's on your own site, or you're putting your content elsewhere to get backlinks, you need it.  If you want people to click and to buy, you're going to have to show them *something* worthwhile.

But before you go thinking that you don't need something like this, I want to really make sure you understand – LIVE 8 had over 500 people attending. There were a few common threads to all the discussions, but one in particular popped up all over the place.

-> During one of the site reviews, instead of getting tips on how to improve his website, the audience bombarded the site owner with questions about his product – a content solution.

-> Several of our speakers talked about how they solved the "fresh content problem" in their own businesses, often at extravagant costs both in money and in man-hours.

-> Lots of the Partners exhibiting in the StomperNet Advantage Pavilion offered all kinds of solutions to the problem, too.  If there's enough of a market to support competition, it's a real problem.

See a pattern there?  Think about this:

PPC landing pages, minisites, squeeze pages, review sites…

…there's no working online business model that I know of that can make any money without quality, relevant content.

It's pervasive, and EVERY online business owner WILL face it.  It's not a matter of "if" but of "when" you will start running out of content.

You can't just steal someone else's no matter what some black hats may tell you.  And you can't just pay some cheap freelancer if you want quality – when it comes to writing you tend to get what you're willing to pay for.

But the sad fact is that if you're just starting out, you're going to need the content well before you're going to be able to afford it.

For most people, that means you're on your own, and your success pretty much depends on how much content you can churn out, and how fast you can keep it coming.

That's why it's so great that I can send this to you today.

2,483 people already paid $297 to access this. StomperNet members have enjoyed an "Advantage" discount on this product for a while and it's proven to be a recommended favorite over and over again.

But today, it's yours free (no strings at all).

If you know me (or met me at LIVE you know that I'm kind of a nut for new gadgets and tools that can help me make more money no matter how much they cost.  Well this one was worth every penny of the full price people have paid in the past.

Yes, I really did download this last night and messed around with it for a while.  Guess what – I sent the link out to my staff, too.  It's that good, and I bet you're going to be as excited as I was when you try it out yourself.

~Brad Fallon

P.S. Don't forget to leave a comment here on the StomperBlog and let me know if you like the stuff I've started sending.  I promise there's tons and tons more free content and tools coming, so the feedback really helps us find the things YOU really want.

Just like we did above.

CPA (Cost Per Action) is a hot topic in the internet marketing space right now, and it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with accounting.

(We got a TON of comments on the previous blog post we did with my Mike Filsaime interview about CPA marketing, just this past weekend.)

This is exactly what the landscape looked like when PPC hit big before people had even heard of a "Google Slap".  I think that just like PPC, the early adopters are going to get the biggest slice of this pie.

But today I want to tell you about someone else who is using CPA networks in a really unique way (that no one else is talking about yet).

That's why I think that it's important for you to check it out even if you're not going to take part in the CPA gold rush that's happening right now.

See, that reason is that when everyone zigs, this guy went out on a limb and ZAGGED instead.  And being the fish that stands out of the school is paying off for him.  Big time!

He's been quietly making $25K for a 1 day consultation to teach people how to stop "pushing" traffic to sites the way your or I have done for so long now.

Instead, he's showing how to get people to send you THEIR hard earned traffic by leveraging the power of the CPA networks and the never-ending flood of CPA affiliates that grows literally hourly.

Think about it: You have the best affiliates in the world using CPA networks to find offers.  You have a ton of smaller but extremely enthusiastic affiliates that are ready to hustle.

Massive Traffic with:
– No PPC Skills
– No Search Skills
– No Lists!

And don't think that this is complicated or has a steep learning curve. Most likely, you're already able to do everything that you'll need to.

If you can make one or two webpages to drive all the traffic to, you're set.  He is leveraging the buzz in the market in order to put that eager, free workforce to work building HIS business for him.

But you don't need to pay his $25,000 consulting fee because today, he's teaching you how to do it totally for free.

Seriously. See it for yourself here, and you'll be convinced too.  He's not leaving anything out.

It's a looong video, but that's good.  It's not just a little short tease like most of these things have been lately.  It's good to see solid material being put out by people who walk the talk.

So watch this video TODAY when you get a chance.  I think you'll really like it. And I think it's a great example of how if you you can look at a market and see opportunities for growth that no one else can see because they're following the hype of the herd.

~Brad Fallon

P.S. I would love to hear what you think of this, and if you'd like to see more.  Like I said, you'd have to have been living under a rock for the past couple of years to not know about CPA, and it's only JUST NOW opening up to the "little guy".

Leave us a comment below and tell us what's on your mind.

Hey, it's Brad here in Atlanta for LIVE 8 – I had a chance to sit down with Mike Filsaime today and record a short video with him about some really cool stuff he's working on and I thought we'd share it with you right away. Read more

Normally, we rarely allow outsiders a peek at the closed-door StomperNet Live events but this time we're doing something a little different.  We're going to have some free VIDEO from the floor soon, but for now, here are some "leaked" updates from our member portal to show you what our members come back for time after time (which is why this is our EIGHTH LIVE Event in less than 3 years!) Check it out below and let us know what you think!

Live 8 – Busting At The Seams

There are a lot of folks here. I think we're tipping the scales at 650 attendees. We've wedged as many people in this ballroom as you can – without use of a crow bar or an angry fire marshal.

And the energy is already cranked.  Which is shocking, considering about 1/3rd of the attendees stood up when Brad asked how many had traveled here from outside the U.S. That's eyeball-math but it looked like just about a third to me.

So it's pretty impressive that considering all the jet lag in the room – there's tons of laughter, smiles, chatter and excitement. I've not caught one person dozing yet.

James Schramko – Sneaky Down Under

Today, there's not exactly thunder down under.

Oh sure, James Schramko *is* from Australia. He's smart, he's successful. But thunderous? Not really. Affiliate Pounce creator James Schramko hit the stage today in a low key, but high content way. With a dry wit and heavy Aussie accent, James wrapped his excellent lessons about affiliate marketing into a very entertaining presentation.

(Every so often, James stops his talk and says "Hey, who wants a sneaky tip?" The crowd hollers back "We do!" If their reply isn't loud enough for James' liking, he asks for more energy. Before you know it, it starts to feel like a rock concert call and response. I'm half expecting to hear "Freebird!" soon. It's just great.)

James' back story is pretty interesting. Aside from being a top Mercedes salesman and general manager, he tells us that he used work in collections ("…which is kind of like sales…only your customers already have the product.")

We of course can't give away every single information nugget and 'sneaky tip' James covered. But we can say that relationships are the name of his game.  In fact, he believes so strongly in relationships that he keeps in touch with customers who ended up buying not from him, but his competitors.

Why?

Because he counts on his competitors to not follow up. And most of the time, they don't. So next time those customers buy, or next time someone asks them for a referral, guess who they remember? Hint: it's not James' competitors.

Sneaky, right?

The Need for (Smart) Speed

I'm going to briefly address the, um, four folks in this room who've never seen Brad Fallon speak before. Get you up to speed and all that.  I can summarize it this way:

Brad's fast.

He talks fast. He builds companies fast. He makes money, fast.

Brad's favorite quote isn't from a business or marketing guru, or any kind of guru at all. It's from a race car driver named Mario Andretti. "If everything seems under control, you`re just not going fast enough."

See? Speed is where Brad Fallon is at.

But this event, he has a new twist on his usual "Go, go, go…" He's now moved on to teaching a way to control the speed. To go not only fast but to go smart. Keeping an eye on how you are "spending" that speed is just as crucial as going quickly.

What Brad's talking about is Leverage and Productivity. And the wasteful evils of Multi-Tasking. He's taking us through worksheets and charts based on Brad's favorite project management system – the Theory of Constraints. It's really opening a roomful of eyes.

This system works so well that when a government agency used it to build tanks, their productivity skyrocketed. So much so that not only were they suddenly able to output the product they needed to produce…they had extra capacity. They were so efficient and so streamlined that they were able to take on extra work from the private industry.

Wouldn't you love to get that much done, with exact same amount of workers?

#&*@%@

Ross Goldberg defines himself a lot of different ways. A war vet. An accidental Internet Marketer. Former Fighter.

Potty Mouth.

He's all that and then some. Ross's delivery style is real and honest and always amusing. But his content is solid and real-world and clearly appreciated by the crowd.

Today Ross is talking about managing your reputation online.  He's helping us manage our overwhelm. He's actually posting a slide and making us read out loud what's written on it:

"I promise not to use what I learned today for Evil Purposes."

—–

Quite a day (and that's not even ALL of the stuff we covered on Friday!) Even though these are all the updates for the moment, but you're going to want to get ready, because we've got even more coming up soon!  (With video!) And don't forget to leave a comment below and let us know what you think!

Want to learn how to create "Information Products" that literally SELL THEMSELVES?

Would you like to listen in on a free live interview between me and a guy who has built a $25 Million per year business selling Information Products online?

On Tuesday the 19th, at 3 PM Pacific / 6 PM EST I'm going to be hosting a live teleclass with Eben Pagan, the creator of the "GURU MasterMind" training program for authors, speakers, coaches and others who want to learn how to publish and make money with Information Products online.

Eben has spoken to our StomperNet Elite at our LIVE Events several times, and I've even had him do special presentations for StomperNet affiliates – the stuff he shares is THAT good.

In fact, you know that whole "give away something great for free and make a bunch of money" thing I've been talking about for weeks?

We call it "moving the free line" and I learned it from Eben.  So there.

On this teleclass, Eben is going to share:

• The 3 Information Product "Mega-Niches" that make money consistently – and will for years into the future
• How to name your product so that it literally "sells itself" – and hits the "hot button" of your customer with just the name alone
• How to create an opt-in page that converts visitors to subscribers at VERY high rates
• How to organize your ideas into a book or other product QUICKLY (this formula you're going to learn will make your information far more understandable to your customers – and more VALUABLE as well)
• How to write email newsletters and do email marketing… and get 50% or MORE of your newsletters written for free

…and much, much more.

You're going to be listening in on a live conversation with someone that runs a $25 Million per year "Guru" business – who successfully sells Information Products in several different niches (with some products selling for as much as $10,000).

This teleclass is STRICTLY limited – and will be on a "first come, first serve" basis.

If you want to sign up, just go here and register NOW

If you're ready to learn how to launch and grow your online "Guru" business, then join me for this live interview.

Register now, and I'll talk to you on the teleclass!

Until next time,
Keep Stomping!

Here’s the Step-By-Step Sales Conversion Process that I promised.   I decide to make a video so I could really drill down into exactly how I nearly TRIPLE conversions (Screen Shots Included).   It’s very visual, and each step is shown — along with real world examples and statistics.  It’s on the Blog – No Opt-In Required. Totally Free (AKA “In Da Klerwb”).  There’s also a BONUS Video that you can get (also no Opt-In) where I spill my guts.  The Topic is “How to turn a $1.00 transaction immediately into $48.00”.  Here’s what people are saying about JUST the Bonus Video…

This Video will keep you from wasting a TON of time.

Because before you decide to create and sell ANY kind of information product, it needs to pass these 3 tests:

1.    Do the prospects in the niche your creating your product for have a Strong and Driving Emotional need?

Meaning, do they REALLY want a “thing” BADLY?  Desire can come in many forms as well either FOR or Against something. One of my favorite lines from the TV show West Wing was from the character Toby who said “I hate those people with the heat of a Nova”…  I think he was talking about some political party.  Heh. (Cause we both know they all suck rocks.  Anyway…)

Does your prospect have “Heat of a Nova” desire?  Either for something or against something?

If they do, you’re on the right track.

2.    Can you drill down into your niche to a fine, granular level?

• A LOT of people like golf.  Golf is a pretty broad topic.  But you can drill WAY down into it?

You could, for example gain a foot-hold (no pun intended… well…) in the golf industry just by talking about Orthopedic Golf Shoes.

You could gain traction in the golf market just by talking about the “X-Out” golf balls that you can by cheaper than the fancy golf balls.  Like a type of Golf Ball is gonna help your score any.  Whatever.

• A LOT of people like timepieces – you know, watches.  Just for a moment, think about how many different styles and brands of watches you can see the next time you go to a public place.

The number is HUGE.  And being a “Focused Expert” is always the easiest and fastest way to gain authority in a marketing-place vs. being a “Generalist”.

For example, StomperNet covers a wide range on Internet Marketing Skills, but we specialize in Traffic and Conversion – that’s’ what got us started and it’s how we market.

Drill Down friend.

3.    Do they Value Advice?

Here’s a question:

Are you going to try to tell a transmission mechanic how to repair a torque converter or are you going to try to show a distance runner how to avoid shin splints?

The professional Transmission mechanic has already got a repair manual and a set of tools.  What do they need you (or your information) for?

Having said that:

How many professional distance runners do you know?

See what I mean?

A Distance Runner, almost by definition, is an amateur.  They do it for fun, for fitness, because they hate themselves (can you tell how much I enjoy running?)…

…and while there’s lots of tools (shoes) and accessories (clothes and distance measuring devices (aka –“pedometer” – See?  I do the research so you don’t have to baby!)…

… there’s probably NOT a ton of practical advice about avoiding a specific injury for a specific body type for a specific age group for a specific…

That’s the definition of a prospect that values advice – they might feel almost alone and unique in their pursuits and desires.

And there’s a LOT of people that think their needs are unique.  That’s a WIN!

Watch this comprehensive Video to drill down even further to make sure you’re not starting a wild goose chase after an Info Product that’s Dead On Arrival.

Keep on Stomping!

Andy Jenkins

P.S.  The Prospect Incubation and Monetization Process technique I spoke about in my last newsletter is almost ready for release.  Check the blog or your email for it soon – it’s going to redefine how your business markets.  Seriously.

P.P.S.  I’m just hanging out on Twitter most days.  Come follow along!

A Loss Leader is one of the more powerful brand building strategies that any business can employ.

And statistics, for what they're worth, usually bear out that you'll always earn more money per customer AND create a larger customer base if you're prepared to sell a product for no profit, or even a LOSS in order to create a relationship with a customer.

But it's Risky.

It's Risky for a few reasons:

1 – To sell at no profit or a loss means that you're sometimes selling low-value stuff.

Right? You've seen the Big Box Retailers offer crazy deals on low-end electronics in order to get people in the door. The problem is, the offer is usually "LOW END". And the customer experience that follows doesn't, shall we say, build the most loyalty.

2 – Also, it means that you MUST have a system to follow up with those new customers – meaning, you need to be ready to walk them up the "Ladder of Intimacy" to create future sales.

"Ladder of Intimacy?" Picture one of those A-Frame Ladders. You're on one side and your customer is on the other.

At first, you're far apart and low on the ladder – meaning, you've offered SOME value, and you've only asked for a LITTLE bit of a financial commitment for it.

The trick is getting them to climb that ladder. Each rung is a more expensive offer, but it also brings YOU closer to that customer because you're providing MORE value as you climb together.

Sexy, eh?

The problem there is, the first thing you're offering (because you need to keep it inexpensive for cash-flow reasons) is also probably of lower value to the customer.

There's the rub.

What if you could invert the ladder? What if you could deliver AMAZING value for a low price, and begin your relationship with your customer in a place where they are already confident that doing business with you will result in great things for them?

So, if you've ever asked why StomperNet makes free videos to promote its new products, the answer comes from customer comments like this:

"If this is what you are GIVING away, I can't imagine how good the stuff is that I get when I buy".

WIN. Profound WIN.

And it works, every time.

This Video is a text book example of how to structure an Inverted Ladder.

In one of my last newsletters, I de-constructed and reverse engineered Frank Kern's Mass Control Video – it was very well received for one very important reason:

"SHOWING" details, not "Telling" Details.

It's one thing to TELL YOU how to do something, it's another thing to SHOW YOU what it looks like, then talk about it why it works after.

This is the definition of Kinesthetic Learning. See it, Understand it, Do it. And it's why Medical Schools employ that kind of education – because it's CRITICAL when you're saving lives.

So, check out the video, and come back here to StomperBlog.com and tell me what kind of VALUE Propositions most appealed to you.

Thanks!

Andy Jenkins

P.S. Here's the Video Link again.

P.P.S. Next week, it's all about SEO here at StomperNet….

Advanced SEO, that is.

Stay tuned for a Video from SEO Expert Leslie Rohde. He's gonna tell you why LSI is lame.

Yes. Lame.

(I love causing trouble).

Two things, if you please:

1) Mass Control Bye Bye

2) Search Engines are Good, but Goofy.

Mass Control 2.0 "Bye Bye"

This launch was so good, I've simply GOT to reverse engineer it (like I did with Frank's 2^nd video) and create some checklists for people to evaluate their own marketing processes because…

Frank set a new standard, and I think and it needs to be memorialized…

..and then copied.

Mr. Kern, if you're reading – congrats pal, I learned a LOT and the system is ninja.

My "Gonzo" bonuses for MC 2.0 are here, and the last handful of Mass Control 2.0 systems are available here.

I wonder what the High School Guidance Counselor that said "Frank, think hard about a public sanitation career" is thinking now.

For that matter, what would your High School Guidance Counselor say to you – if they met you today?

Heh.

Search Engines are Good, but Goofy.

Have you ever been DREADING being on receiving end of a phone call or email or letter?

And then… you get it, and it turns out to be… Okay.

And every once in a while, the news you get it is of the "BOOYA!" variety.

That's what's about to happen to you.

The State of the Search Engines

I've gathered up Leslie Rohde, Dan Thies, and Jerry West to create a

"State of the Search Engines" series of audio podcasts.

So, shut off CNN, or FOX News, or whoever is filling your day with fear and poison, because:

We've got "BOOYA!" news about Search Engine Optimization.

BTW, these podcasts will be free.

We're just finishing up the last of the topics that we'll cover – but before we go into audio production, I wanted to ask you if you had any questions of your own, or suggestions for hot SEO topics.

If you do, just help yourself to the comment box at the bottom of this very page.

I'll post the release dates shortly.

Andy

P.S. Never one to mince words… I laughed pretty hard when I got this email:

"Dear Recession,

Suck it.

Sincerely,

Frank Kern – Mass Control 2.0"

P.P.S. This is why I don't listen to the news anymore:

"Wall Street indices predicted nine out of the last five recessions!"

(BTW, the dude that said that won a Nobel Prize)
