“Gonzo” means ‘with reckless abandon’ or ‘extreme’.

It also describes the kind of writing that Hunter S. Thompson enjoyed (‘Gonzo Journalism’), where the reporter made himself part of the story.

The bonuses that I’m offering for Frank Kern’s Mass Control 2.0 product are definitely “Gonzo” because:

1. They are extreme.
2. I use Mass Control techniques (even before it was called ‘Mass Control’) and I’m a small part of ‘the Mass Control story’ – the part that has the $18,000,000 plot…

…making my endorsement of Mass Control 2.0 enthusiastic and easy.

So, if you decide to take my recommendation and become a Mass Control 2.0 member, I will add the following to your package:

2 Months FREE
Full StomperNet Elite Membership
(worth $1,594.00)

2 FREE Tickets to
ANY StomperNet LIVE Event
(worth $2,994.00)

Beta Tester Status for Don Crowther’s
NEW SMARTS 2.0 Social Media Traffic Strategies
(This is FULL Access to SMARTS 2.0 that’s in development)
(SMARTS 1.0 was $1497.00)

…And finally: You’ll be entered into a random drawing to win…

A “Genuine” Frank Kern Surfboard!
(Restrictions Apply: Skills and Insurance Required.
Not responsible for: Shark Attacks, Bodily Injury (including decapitation),
Family & Friend Ridicule, Flip Flops, Hair Growth, or Loss of Productivity)

I was all set to call that a great bonus package when Frank emailed me and turned “Gonzo” into “Gratuitous“…

“Andy, I’m having a Mass Control 2.0 Live Event at the end of April – it’s for any Mass Control 2.0 customer. It’s a workshop, not a ‘seminar’ – so no pitching. It doesn’t cost anything.”

What that means is you’ll get:

1. Frank teaching you Mass Control in person.

2. Frank tearing apart your websites, videos, and sales letters.

3. Frank showing you how to find hot markets.

4. Frank showing you how to get more people promoting your stuff.

5. Frank getting you fast-tracked to make more money immediately.

And because I’m “part of the story” along with a small handful of other people, here’s what else I can stack on top of this for you:

An Invitation to a full day
Super-Secret Closed-Door Mastermind Session at MC 2.0 with some big-shot dudes - I’ll be there to serve coffee

Seriously, this is a secret EXTRA DAY that the general public doesn’t even know about. It’s only available to my customers and a hand-full of others.

My Terms:

On the honor system, even if you return Mass Control 2.0 because it was somehow not right for you, I’ll let you keep the following bonuses anyway:

1. 2 months Free StomperNet Elite Membership
2. 2 Free Tickets to Any StomperNet Live Event
3. Beta Tester Status to SMARTS

You MUST give Mass Control 2.0 an honest effort.  And I’m not going to award any of the bonuses until 45 days after you purchase because I’m not doing this to attract groupies or serial refunders.

This is for the 99% of the folks that are going to give Mass Control 2.0 an HONEST effort.

Fair?  Simple?  Alrighty then!

Mass Control “officially” turns on at 1pm Eastern US (that’s 10am Pacific Time).

Here’s the link that you use to get the Gonzo Bonuses that I’m offering:

Mass Control 2, The StomperNet Accelerators,

And an ‘annoying’ truth.

Mass Control 2.0 SOLD OUT?!?!?!

By the time Mass Control 2.0 opens on Monday, February 16th at 1pm Eastern (10am Pacific), there’s a chance it could be 90% sold-out!

Here’s why: Frank has this slightly annoying habit of releasing his products early to his newsletter subscribers vs. the general public.  He creates these early notification lists and people sign up in hordes to be the first in line.

And he rewards that behavior by letting them in early! It’s one reason why his stuff sells out so durn fast.

So, I’m getting you out in front of this by doing 2 things:

• Showing you where to get on his early notification list, and
• Announcing StomperNet’s Mass Control 2.0 Accelerator Program.

For anyone who purchases Mass Control 2.0 via StomperNet’s recommendation (and yes, in case you haven’t noticed – I am a Fan-Boy of Frank), I’d like to help stack the success-deck in your favor by offering:

2 Months FREE of
Full StomperNet Elite Membership
(worth $1,594.00)

2 FREE Tickets to
ANY StomperNet LIVE Event
(worth $2,994.00)

An Invitation to a full day

with some big-shot dudes (I’ll be there to serve coffee)
(worth, like.. A LOT of $$$$)

To get on Frank’s Early Notification List, Go Watch This Video and leave a ‘real’ email address (at least one that you’ll get) to join his list.

While you’re watching Frank’s latest video, some dude named Tony Robbins says something cool about Frank.  Whatever.

Listen – YOU have a great weekend, and always remember the immortal words from Oscar Wilde:

“In all matters of opinion, our adversaries are Insane”.

P.S. Here’s that link to Frank’s Video and Early Bird Notification List.

Stompernet Blog

A few days ago one of the sites that we mentioned in our “No Secrets” video had made some changes. Basically, they introduced a new “no linking” strategy.

I’m going to give you all the details about what happened, and possibly WHY it happened.

There’s a lot of information in this post… so it’s going to be a bit long. But I think that you will find that it pays you back many times over for the time you spend reading it.

But first I have one important announcement…

— Re-Opening SMARTS for 24 Hours —

I will give all the details down below, but we’ve decided that we’re going to re-open SMARTS for a final 24-hour period.

And we are going to open it at the ORIGINAL discounted price. In other words, we are turning back that $600.00 price increase.

But only for 24 hours, starting Monday at 2:00pm Eastern time.

http://www.stompernetpresents.com/SMARTS

—————————————–

OK, just about two weeks ago we released our “No Secrets” video. In that video we gave a bunch of new strategies for using social media sites to build your business.

One of those sites was scribd.com

To see the exact strategies we mentioned about scribd.com, check it out here:

http://www.stompernet.net/goingnatural2/

The part about scribd.com is right at the 27:20 mark in the video.

(HOWEVER, if you haven’t seen that “No Secrets” video… don’t skip ahead – the entire video is completely packed with strategies and tactics for social media sites. Go watch it now.)

Now this is where it got interesting – and it proves the power of social media. That “No Secrets” video went viral. People started talking about it, blogging about it, passing the URL around.

And it was viewed many, many tens of thousands of times.

Naturally, many of those people put the strategies to work. In fact, lots of them got almost immediate results… they even posted comments about their results on this blog.

But, of course, with SO many people viewing the video, well let’s just say not all of them used the scribd.com strategy the way they were supposed to.

And just a few days after we released that video, scribd.com made some changes.

http://blog.scribd.com/2008/01/support-for-html-uploads-discontinued.html

Now this post is NOT about bashing scribd.com at all. It’s their site, and they are completely free to set their own rules.

And I imagine our video sent an insane amount of traffic to their site. And since this was a free video, those people did NOT have the benefit of our SMARTS coaching program… so some of them may have abused the system.

Inside SMARTS we are very, very clear on how to use the social media sites AND stay within their rules. The bottom line is that you need to stay on the right side of the social media community – or you could get burned.

Here’s another key point – these social media sites are constantly changing. They come and go, they add rules and change rules.

And that’s why we’ve built up a SMARTS community. Basically, you have a whole team on your side — from all the people in Stomper Labs to all the HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of other people joining SMARTS. This has already blossomed into a long term social marketing community – this community will be our radar screen and keep us at the cutting edge of the Web 2.0 world.

In other words, there are HUNDREDS of social media sites (actually, we currently have 1,920 in our SMARTS database… and we add more every week.)

Now obviously, no one person can keep track of all those sites, much less learn how to use them effectively. That’s what our SMARTS community is all about. It’s like having hundreds of other people watching your back.

As sites come and go, get stronger or weaker, our community will have their finger on the pulse of the social marketing world.

So that leads us back to SMARTS and our decision to pull it off the market last Friday…

Now I will admit that we were a bit hasty in our decision. When in doubt, I will always – ALWAYS – overreact on the side of protecting our SMARTS community. That’s going to be my first instinct.

Basically, when it comes to the community, it’s a case of “shoot first and ask questions later”.

But I’m not “Attila the Hun”, and I’m always willing to reconsider.

And that’s what I’ve done this time – so this is what I’m going to do…

As I mentioned up above, we’re going to re-open SMARTS on Monday… but only for 24 hours. After that, we’ll close it for good – or at least a long time.

And if you look at the way we’ve run StomperNet (which is STILL closed to new members), you know that we stick to our word on that kind of thing.

One more thing – because of the general “weirdness” of the way we pulled it off the market without warning, we’re going to go one step better…

We are going to TURN BACK the $600.00 price increase, and you can jump onboard for the initial discounted price.

To get in on this deal, go to:

http://www.stompernetpresents.com/SMARTS

Remember, this deal is available from Monday at 2:00pm Eastern until Tuesday at 2:00pm Eastern.

That’s it. After that, it’s gone.

Best regards,
Andy Jenkins

For instance, inside the new SMARTS forums, the community is already blossoming…

And we made the crazy decision to just plain give away our SMARTS “Instant Grad School” to all the SMARTS members.

(The Instant Grad School was SUPPOSED to cost an extra $497.00, but we decided to give it to the SMARTS community at no extra charge. It hurt our pocketbook some, but it felt great to gift that bonus to the community.)

It’s been all beauty and grace for a couple of weeks now.

But this is the thing I’ve been avoiding…

It’s almost time to close down sales of SMARTS. You see, we are getting SMARTS classes started in full next week.

So… we have to do this:

On Friday at 2:00pm Eastern time, the price for SMARTS is going up by $600.00.

In addition, we will pull down the offer for the “Instant Grad School” instant upgrade.

AND we’re also going to have to pull down my bonus Video Creation webinar series.

So it’s getting down to the nitty-gritty. You’ve got less than 48 hours to go. If you want to get on board our SMARTS traffic system, you have to
act now.

Here’s the link.

Best Regards,
Andy

P.S. This whole SMARTS process has been amazing… downright heartwarming.

But as you probably know, I can be ALL business when I have to be. We have a hard deadline on Friday at 2. The price goes up by $600.00, and the bonuses go away. Don’t wait until the last second… there’s always a mad rush at the end. You don’t want to risk the server getting overloaded and your membership not making it in time.

So jump on board now!

We’ve just added a HUGE new component to SMARTS… the “Instant Grad School”.

This is an extension beyond the 10 week program where we are going to teach our super-advanced ninja-level material.

We had planned to offer this as an additional $497.00 product at the end of SMARTS.

HOWEVER, we’ve already been inspired by the way the SMARTS community is rapidly coming together… so we got a little crazy and decided to offer this course extension for free to anyone who joined SMARTS.

That’s an extra $497.00 value added on top of an already amazing program.

And yes, if you have ALREADY jumped on board SMARTS, you will get it as well.

There is only one catch… you need to join by this Friday at 2:00pm Eastern time if you want to get in on the SMARTS Instant Grad School.

Here’s the link.

One more thing… we had one great Fast Mover Bonus that we had to pull down on Sunday night… that was my Video Creation Webinar series. Well, if you missed that deadline, that ship has sailed. Sorry about that.

HOWEVER, since we’re in a kinder and gentler mood, we’ve added another bonus – you can get the video recording of that Video Creation Webinar series. It’s not quite as good as being there live… but it’s the next best thing.

However, to qualify you need to join SMARTS by this Friday at 2:00pm Eastern. That’s the same deadline as we have for the “Instant Grad School” bonus.

You can get all the details here.

Best regards,
Andy

P.S. Don held his first “orientation session” for SMARTS last night, and it was a smashing success. The official classes don’t start for a few more days… this was just a “pre-day” to cover some of the details.

He has another orientation coming up later in the week, so you can still attend if you join up right away.

Plus, you will get the recording of the first orientation call. Here’s the link to find out more.

And news flash: our servers did NOT crash when we launched SMARTS yesterday.

(I’m sure you’re as sick of hearing about crashed servers as I am!)

But, well… I just don’t know how everything survived.

I mean, we had five load-balanced hardened servers – and they were ready.

But MY BRAIN wasn’t ready.

I mean seriously, we knew there was going to be a lot of demand for SMARTS – but I was just not ready for what happened.

My brain was not ready to handle the numbers.

The first time we pulled stats from our servers was FOUR MINUTES after we went live. We already had 121 people join by then!

In four minutes. In-frickin’-sane.

I don’t know how those guys could fill out the form that fast. They must be a lot faster at typing than I am.

And the orders didn’t end there – they kept going at about 10 per MINUTE.

Shocked. Dumbfounded. Near disbelief.

One of the first things I did was check that somehow our shopping cart wasn’t messed up and double or triple-counting orders.

No… the orders were real.

That was sorta good news and sorta bad news.

I mean, don’t get me wrong – I like making a few shekels just as much as the next guy.

But after weeks of building up to this, I didn’t want to have to pull SMARTS down in the first half hour. And I was more than a little worried about the blowback we would get from people who got shut out (you wouldn’t believe the heat I took when I shut down StomperNet).

So we called a fast huddle with our staff at Stomper – some of them in our conference room, some on iChat, some on instant messenger.

And luckily we had a contingency plan to dust off – let me explain…

About 15 months ago we had something vaguely similar happen when we rolled out StomperNet. We had WAY more people sign up than we expected.

We ended up shutting down and we stopped taking new members after about 26 hours. That membership has remained closed since then, except for when we opened up for a few days last spring.

To this day, you still can’t get in.

But even with putting StomperNet in lock-down, we had lots more members than we expected.

So what we did was almost instantly hire the staff and build the infrastructure to handle the demand.

We aren’t quite there with SMARTS yet, because we’ve already got a good size staff at StomperNet… but we had to make a quick pivot earlier yesterday. It was either that, or put SMARTS in lock-down within minutes of going live.

So this is where we are at… we are still taking memberships. We have changed a few logistical things in the background, stuff our new SMARTS members will never notice – and that’s going to mean we can gracefully take some more members.

KEY POINT: because of the nature of our “You’ve Got Friends” component, well it’s CLEARLY a case of “the more the merrier”. The bottom line is that the more friends you have, well… the better.

ANOTHER key point: because ALL of your Fast Mover bonuses were gone nearly immediately, we’re making a change. The Video Creation Webinars were going to be limited to the first 300 people. We have changed that… anyone who buys by Sunday at midnight eastern time will get that Fast Mover bonus.

So if you want to get onboard with SMARTS and put the power of Social Marketing and drive more targeted traffic into your business, here’s the link.

OK, that’s it for now…

Best Regards,
Andy

P.S. I still can’t believe we didn’t crash the servers! I’m never going to forget pulling up that shopping cart for the first time and seeing 121 orders.

I was NOT prepared for that.

This is exciting… SMARTS is going to be amazing, and now we’re going to be able to make it an even stronger program. If you want to join us or get all the details, go here.

Every Monday morning Don will release a set of online videos on our special “members only” website.

Each week we will have a different module that contains a number of different videos, each covering a specific strategy (some might give a big picture strategy, some will be extremely specific).

Along with the videos will be a set of optional assignments. I did say “optional”… but I’m going to be encouraging you to complete them while the information is fresh in your brain – that’s the way you will get the best results. Of course, we can all get busy at times, so if you just have too much going on… well, I’ve got your back.

Then midweek, we’ll have a conference call where we go even deeper on that week’s topic, and I will answer your questions. The beauty of these calls is that you learn both from your questions AND the questions from the other coaching students. These calls will be scheduled for 90 minutes, but I’ll basically stick around until we’re done with all of the questions.

Of course, all calls will be recorded, so if you can’t make one, you can still catch up. Plus, you’ll be able to submit questions via email in advance just in case you can’t be on the call.

But that’s not all… you will also have an online forum – you can ask questions, get answers, share experiences, request feedback, and share your insights with the group. Since we’ve already been sharing many of these videos with the StomperNet members, many of those forums are already populated with lots of good questions and answers, so there’s ALREADY a big knowledge base just waiting for you.

I also have some more surprises… like calls with some of the top experts in the world on Social Marketing. We’re still finalizing the details of who those calls will be with, but I can guarantee, I’ve got some very “big” names lined up.

Plus, I’ll be making videos every day. So, if questions can best be answered in video or audio form, then I’ll record one and post it to the site quickly. I’m going to be there as your coach and mentor. If it takes another video to really crystallize a lesson… then I will make a video for that lesson. It’s that simple.

Oh, and I almost forgot the software. We’ve got several very cool tools that will significantly reduce the time and effort you need to put into your SMARTS Social Marketing campaign. I’ll have more details for you soon… but the software is going to rock. And it’s going to make all of this stuff as easy as pie.

And then there’s our You’ve Got Friends system… I explained that one on this blog post.

So those are the major pieces… there will be more coming on top of all that, but you get the idea.

Rather than trying to answer them via email or taking three days to put together a video, I thought I would try answering them on our blog… so here you go:


Q: Is this social marketing stuff for real?

A: It’s as real as it gets. We’ve been watching it grow over the past couple of years, and we’ve turned Don Crowther loose in our Stompernet Labs for the last six months.

This is what we’ve seen – recently it’s gone from a minor expansion to major explosion.

The power and size of this traffic is crazy, and the marketing force is staggering… and it’s growing stronger by the moment. This is literally the most significant development online in years… frankly, I can’t remember anything else that compares to it outside of back when tens of millions of people first got online in the last 90′s.


Q: Who’s the SMARTS program for?

A: It’s for anyone who markets a product or products and wants to increase their traffic and/or establish a leading presence in their niche. SMARTS will help you drive more traffic, get better search engine rankings, increase conversion… and ultimately increase sales.


Q: Is SMARTS for newbies?

A: Newbies, Oldbies, In-Betweenbies…you name it. SMARTS requires very little (if any) web experience. This stuff can seem complex, but it’s amazing how easy it is.

You can just follow the simple instructions and you’ll be good to go.

Of course, as we mentioned in the video AND the Strategy Guide, you can get yourself in trouble if you go off half-cocked. But we’re going to put up clear danger signs and lead you away from the trouble spots. to go.

CRITICAL: if you are just starting your site, then this is the EASIEST way to get traffic fast. You don’t want to wait around for the search engines… and you could spend a FORTUNE on advertising.


Q: Will I get more traffic?

A: Yes. Without a doubt. Just look at all the examples we gave in the “No Secrets” video and the Strategy Guide.


Q: Is SMARTS for my biz? I’m in (insert business here).

A: SMARTS doesn’t play favorites. This isn’t just about ecommerce sites. And it’s not just about information marketing sites. Or non-profits. Or service businesses.

It’s about ALL of the above… and more.

It really doesn’t matter. If your site can benefit from more targeted prospects, then Social Marketing will work for you. And you should really consider our SMARTS program, because it’s a huge “fast-start” program for you your Social Marketing campaign.


Q: What will the Coaching Program cover?

A: We actually gave a pretty complete course outline at the end of the Strategy Guide. You can download it at this link.


Q: What if I can’t be at my computer on Friday?

A: That’s a tough one. Based on all the signs, we’re fully expecting this Coaching Program to sell out very quickly. So you might want to get a friend or relative to be there at launch time for you. I’d hate to see you miss out.

And if you REALLY can’t figure anything out, then send an email to our customer support department:

smartssupport@stompernet.com

and we’ll see if we can work something out with you.


Q: Will you have a payment plan?

A: Yes, we’ve decided to add a payment plan so you can spread the tuition over several months. We’re still working out the exact details on this one.


That’s it for now… but if you have any other questions (or comments) please leave them below…

Best Regards…
Andy
