Profits Accelerator: My Online Marketing Story

I’ve never really told anyone how I got started marketing online, but today, I feel like spilling the beans.  Hopefully it can remind you of how you got started, and maybe even encourage those of you that aren’t yet making money online.

Before I started Internet Marketing, I was a bartender.  And I had these 2 brothers that were regulars at my bar.  I worked at a hotel bar, and they lived across the street.  So they were there a lot.

As I got to know them, I asked more and more “personal” questions.  What I found out was they could basically stay out to all hours of the night because they didn’t have a “job” they had to show up to in the morning.

I got a little curious about how they could afford to go out nearly every night of the week and take the kinds of vacations they took.  I mean, if they didn’t have a “job”, how could they do it?

What I then learned was that they were making money online.  And when I found out, my next question was obvious!

How Do You Do It and How Can I Start????

Luckily, these 2 brothers are great guys, and they started to help me.  And since then, I’ve been making a steady income online, and it gets better every month!

I owe a lot to these 2 brothers, who now happen to be VERY good friends of mine.  That’s not some “internet hype”.  It’s the truth.

So why am I sharing this?  Well, for a couple of reasons.

First, I have had a lot of people ask me how I got started, how I learned, what do I do, and all sorts of variations.  My answers change depending on the level of interest they have.  Sometimes I just joke and say “I sell free information”.

Another reason, is I’ve been helping business owners make money online, so I don’t really have time to start from scratch to show people.  But these guys just released a program which can take you from $0 to Making MOney online pretty quick.

It’s basically what they taught me, and now they’re willing to teach you.

They’ve got a great “system” in place.  And if you know me, you know how much I believe in “systems”.  You may have heard me talk about McDonalds.  I mean, let’s be real.  They are the number 1 fast food chain, but not because they have the best tasting hamburgers.  It’s because they have the best “System”.  No one can do it more efficiently in terms of time and cost!

So these brothers, friends of mine, are willing to open their vault and reveal the same “system” that taught me how to make money online.

The package is complete with Live Q&A sessions, unlimited support, over the shoulder looks, no holds barred and nothing held back.

They’ll show you how to do what “we” do!  They even show you how they created for their business 6 products in 60 days!  That’s 6 new things to sell and make money on in 60 days!  What would you do with 6 new money generating streams?  Even if you only made $25 per day from each one, you’d be doing great!

That would amount to $150 per day, or $4,500 per month, or $54,000 per year!!! All without ever having to set an alarm clock, sit in traffic, drive to a job you hate.  All you have to do is the front end work, which they show you the “Lazy” way to do, and then watch your money come in on complete autopilot.  All you have to do is cash the checks that keep coming.

Naturally, if you sold $50 per day per product, you could double your income to $108,000 per year.  But let’s say $25, just so you see how realistic this can be.  That’s only 1 product sale per day!

I can say their “system” really does work, and it works FAST! I can also tell you that I’m not tending bar any longer.  Now, I’m actually spending more time with my family and friends!

Once you’re they’re, you can see what my very good friends, Ryan and Jeff Ringold,  can do to accelerate your path to internet profits!

Secure Your Important Data With Amazon S-3 Accounts

If you constantly worry about your inventory data and of losing it in case your computer gets destroyed, gets stolen or be put into a scenario that renders it irrecoverable, then you should seriously consider signing up for the Amazon S-3 Accounts. These accounts are currently being used by a number of online businessmen in order to keep their records and data safe and intact.

Amazon S-3 accounts are an example of some of Amazon.com’s amazing back-end web service. This services provides owners of online shops a reliable and highly secure way of storing their data remotely and for an incredibly low price. Some people expect this service to be priced expensively considering its usefulness but if you sign up for this, you only need to pay 15 centers per gigabyte monthly.

This amazing service requires no minimum fee and absolutely no start up fee. It’s a great tool that start-up businesses and seasoned online shop owners can use in order to securely store their business data and records somewhere where it’s always retrievable. It is also very affordable since you only get to pay for what you use.

A lot of companies offer this kind of remote storage as well but most of those services are ridiculously expensive. A lot of people complain on how they are required to pay for the type of storage that they might not even use. Most remote storage services offer their services in packages based on bandwidth use or the storage size needed.

While this is understandable, it is worth noting that not a lot of people need huge storage or a relatively large amount of bandwidth. These people are the sort that will greatly benefit from a storage service that will only require them to pay for what they are using. This type of setup is only reasonable and logical since buying storage packages might become a bit too wasteful for them.

Business owners who want to protect their business-related data do not need to upload the entire contents of their hard drive to a remote location every day. This is why the S-3 accounts provided by Amazon is great for them because they will only need to back up several important files regularly and consequently, only need to pay for those uploads.

Availing this service requires some sort of setup but nothing that requires a lot of technical expertise. Even newbies and technical amateurs can easily set up their accounts and start the whole process immediately. The first thing that you should do is to create an account at Amazon for an estimated time of about five minutes.

Amazon S-3 Accounts are great for hosting your video’s as well. Because of the large bandwidth, the playback is great and again you’re only charged on the bandwidth used. With more and more online marketers and offline business creating video sales letters, Amazon S-3 Accounts are growing in popularity.

When you already have an account, you can then download Jungle Disk, install and configure the program which is a task that can last for 5 minutes tops depending on your internet connection. Next is download, install and configure a program called Net Drive which you can easily install in your system for as fast as three minutes. Once you have everything set up, just follow the instructions and you are good to go!

Marketing and Perception

In 2007, a man played a violin in a DC Metro Station.  He played for an hour.  Over the course of that hour, thousands of people walked by him, in a hurry to complete the tasks of the day.

The man played some beautiful music composed by Bach.  It was beautiful, except that few people took the time to stop and listen.

In fact, it took 3 minutes before anyone even took notice.  After 4 minutes, someone stopped to put a dollar in his bucket, the first dollar he’d made that day.

Several children stopped to listen, but were quickly forced along by their parents.  After one hour, the man stopped.  The music stopped.  The metro station went quiet.

When the silence took over, the man had collected a total of $32 from the over 2,000 people that had walked by.

Why is this a big deal?

The man wasn’t just some person playing in a DC Metro Station. He was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world!

In fact, just night’s earlier, he’d played before a sell out crowd in Boston, where tickets were sold at an average of $100 per person to hear the same musician to play the same music.

Not only was this a world class musician, playing some of the greatest music written, but he’d also played it on a $3.5 Million Dollar Violin!!!

This is a true story!

It was an experiment conducted by the Washington Post.

The conclusions they hope to draw is that people are too busy to stop and recognize beauty.

That we don’t pay attention when something wonderful is right in front of us.

We don’t recognize talent unless it’s pointed out to us!

The biggest question becomes “How many other things are we missing as we rush through life?”

I call this non-sense!

To me, this isn’t about rushing through life, missing beauty, or recognizing talent.

This is clearly a case of Perception, which is influenced by MARKETING!!

There is no doubt, as we rush through life, we will miss things. There is no doubt, we could stop and spend more time to cherish small things, wonderful things, things that make us smile, make us happy.

But the reality is we do these things when we are told.  And that, my friend, is the power of marketing.  Marketing creates the perception that we want.  It tells us how to think or feel, when to stop or go, and what value to place on a product or service.

The clear distinction between Joshua Bell playing for $32 and $1 Million Dollars is the amount of marketing that went into it.  The venue that was selected, the audience that he would play for, and the price they paid.

When people pay $100 per ticket to see Joshua Bell play, their mind is already at work convincing themselves that he is worth every penny they just spent.

Marketing a ticket for $100 makes someone perceive Joshua Bell as a world class musician.  And he really is.  I’ve heard him play.  But he is only worth $32 on the street because there was no time, money, or anything else spent in convincing people he was worth more.

So I say to you, how can marketing change your perception?

How can better marketing make a difference in your life?  If you’re a business owner or sales person, what can you do to change the perception of your product or service?

Take the time to create the perception that you are better than your competition.  That you have the best product or service.  Market your business that way, your life that way.

Over time, you’ll become the world class business owner, or top producing sales person that you always knew you could be.

Below is the video of Joshua Bell playing his $3.5 million dollar guitar in the Metro Station as people busily walk by and ignore him.

I’m also including the article from the Washington Post.

Feel free to leave a comment and tell me what your thoughts are.  What did you get out of the article?  Do you believe that our perception is shaped by marketing, or do you disagree with me?  I’d love to hear from you!
