A decent paying job is always something to be grateful for. But some people hunger for greater things and are destined for more… and they KNOW it.
Do you relate to that?
Awhile back I got this note from a customer, Mr. Ken Heikkila:
Bob Dylan's Songwriting and the Creative Power of Commitment
Copywriter John Fancher recently started a 3o-day “send an email every day” autoresponder series, which I subscribed to. It rocks. He weaves inspirations about music, poetry and songwriting into a series of tutorials for email copywriting.
I am finding myself looking forward to getting the installments every single day.
Here’s the one I just got today – I SO agree with this:
Entrepreneurs and our insatiable GREED
Have you ever….
* Tapped a line of credit or 2nd mortgage so you could give your employees their paycheck?
* Paid off all your vendors and creditors, even though it meant canceling a long-awaited vacation?
* Heard about someone in need and helped them out, even though you knew you would eventually end up borrowing the money – you didn’t have it but you gave anyway because it was the right thing to do?
Google Image Ads and the Pixel Power Principle
Today I’m going to give you a secret to getting an avalanche of traffic on the Content Network, using Google’s Image Ads. I must begin by explaining something that’s totally core, thoroughly fundamental to hyper-effective, profitable advertising.
How to [NOT] Make Money on the Internet
The other day I made a post about affiliate marketing and got this comment on my blog, from a beginner named Layne:
“I like the way you explain things Perry, but as a newbie I gotta admit: from where I’m sitting, it seems that the only way to be successful in any of this is to be a part of the “clicks” that are already formed when it comes to affiliate marketing. You guys all promote one another’s products, seminars, books, etc. It’s like the ole boys club – and the rest of us aren’t even invited. :^)”
Staying average vs. WINNING
At the beginning of this video I’m calm cool and collected, but a few minutes in I start to get real wound up.
I was at a marketing conference in Los Angeles last week and everybody was talking about the Federal Trade Commission’s new rules about testimonials. The FTC wants us to start selling “average” instead of selling performance and success. Frankly it’s disturbing.
In this video you’ll hear stories about….
Halloween Horror Stories on Google's Content Network
If the most ghoulish thing you can do in Google AdWords is not know how to structure a campaign, the 2nd most ghoulish thing is to be “asleep at the wheel.”
Namely, sticking new things in your AdWords account and forgetting to go back and check on them. There are some people who have literally become skeletons by doing this!
My Best Google Halloween Horror Story:
How to make money online
Have you ever said this to yourself:
“I wish I had been doing this 3-4 years ago when things were so much easier.”
“They just don’t make things like they used to.”
“Everything is so much more competitive right now.”
Today I’m going to give you a mental “reset button,” so that whenever you catch yourself thinking this, you can interrupt an unproductive thought with a more productive one.
Joshua's Epiphany
There are seasons of life when ideas swirl around in your head aimlessly and you grope for answers.
And there are moments in life when puzzle pieces suddenly snap into place and you have instants of total clarity.
Joshua Boswell tells one such story in an MP3 interview – he came to an event and suddenly in a single moment everything just came together in perfect clarity.
Have you had those moments? I know I have. J.K. Rowling has described how the entire plot for the Harry Potter series came to her in the same way, almost entirely at once. I guess that’s why “epiphany” is one of my favorite words. Because when you have one, it’s unforgettable and it can change everything.
How to get a GREAT job (or consulting gig) in a sucky economy
I have a personal friend who lost her job at a major newspaper 6 months ago. This morning we were composing possible opening statements for her “sales letter”, using the strategy I devised:
Dear Mr. Jones:
