Your GUARANTEE!

by Tony Shepherd on January 8, 2010

A couple of days ago I told you about a pretty cool Twitter service called Twittollower that my marketing friends Tahir and Matt had launched.

Well it just gets better because I bugged Tahir to give you a GUARANTEE that it would work for you. Here it is:

That’s SOME deal, I’m sure you’ll agree. And from what I’m hearing from people who have already locked in their place yesterday, it’s no exaggeration on numbers!

If you’ve got a little more time, here’s the full Skype chat that Tahir and I had, and we decided to record, where I grill him about Twittollower and you can actually hear the pain in his voice when I make him offer his guarantee to my subscribers (he he). Please excuse my voice - a bout of man-flu :)

I’ve Been BURSTING To Tell You About This!

by Tony Shepherd on January 5, 2010

AT LAST I CAN TELL YOU :-)

…On November 3rd last year a couple of friends of mine - Tahir Shah and Matt Garrett let me try out a new service they’d been working on.

After just one week of using it I was so gobsmacked that I wanted to email you to tell you about it - honestly - but it wasn’t ready for launch and so to put it bluntly they just wouldn’t let me.

BUT I was three hours on Skype yesterday BUGGING Tahir to let me give you a headstart over the rest of the IM crowd because that’s the only way I could bring this special pre-launch offer to you.  You now have a SERIOUS advantage over most other people in Internet Marketing - no kidding.

That’s NOT hype I promise you - when this launches on 29th January most people aren’t going to know that this earlybird price even existed, let alone being able to take advantage of it.

So what’s all this about and why am I raving like a schoolgirl at a boy band gig?

1. From what I’ve seen there is NOTHING else out there like this.

2. I’ve seen the results with my own eyes and experienced the profits too, even though I’ve not used it anywhere NEAR it’s full potential.

Back in November Matt & Tahir offered to set up two Twitter accounts for me.

Their promise was that I didn’t need to do ANYTHING (absolutely NOTHING) and their service would automatically build me a shedload of followers.

Then I could do what I wanted with them (They’re my accounts after all) - Tweet to offer my products and services or to build a list….whatever I wanted.

I’ll hold my hand up right now and say I didn’t believe them.

So I purposely did exactly what they suggested - NOTHING - to see if their service works.

Well let me tell you it DOES. I now have over 3,000 followers on THIS account, opened 3rd Nov, and over 2,000 on THIS account opened a little later.

OVER 5,000 FOLLOWERS WHO ACTIVELY READ MY TWEETS!

And they’re REAL people with a REAL interest in the niches I chose (Internet Marketing and PLR), and who visit my sites and buy my products.

I now have more followers on these accounts in just a few weeks than I do on my MAIN twitter account after MONTHS.

What’s even better is that Matt & Tahir’s service allows you to legally, ethically and effectively grab the followers from big name marketers in your niche, such as Mike Filsaime, Willie Crawford and dozens of others (you can choose as far as I’m aware). You can even grab MY followers if you wish…:)

And they won’t know a thing about it…

THEN ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TWEET TO THEM AND ENJOY THE TRAFFIC AND SALES IT BRINGS!

I was going to include this method in my Traffic Masterclass (I think it’s that good) but thought it only fair to offer everyone a chance to see if it’s for them.

This is a serious early-bird offer. I am one of only four marketers - Tahir, Matt and one other marketer who are able to offer this to you today.

Here’s what to do.

Tahir has made a video explaining fully how this service works.

It’s NOT a sales video, Tahir and Matt are NOT pushy marketers - they simply show you what’s on offer then you decide.

1. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO - The video is over 30 minutes long but it’s the only way you can lock into this unique service at the earlybird price.

2. Grab a coffee and Watch it TO THE END - You can’t get in any other way. They’re telling you how it works and what it can do for you before you buy - how many other marketers do that?

3. Decide if it’s for you (and it really should be:)

4. Lock in your place
(I get a commission for telling you about this, but I would be doing exactly the same even if I didn’t).

You can build a real, effective Twitter account THAT YOU CAN MARKET TO in a matter of weeks without HAVING TO DO ANY WORK AT ALL.

This service does it all for you.

It’s limited.
The lock-in prices are limited.
This is a genuine early bird opportunity and I’m glad I’m in a position to tell you about it.

Excuse my language….

by Tony Shepherd on December 14, 2009

For the first time on my blog I’m not referring to my own foul mouthed outbursts…

I still remember as a child my gran used to threaten to ‘wash out my mouth with soap and water’ if ever I said something a little ‘choice’ in her presence.

Of course now she’d be locked up by Social Services, but it did make me aware of the power of an anglo-saxon vocabulary ( I’m told that the swear words we enjoy today are all mostly old English).

It reminds me of the time that my mum - aged 73 - laughingly called my sister an affectionate name when she did something silly at the dinner table..

Except mother got the words ‘twit’ and ‘prat’ mixed up and a dozen or so guests listened to her lovingly call my sister a ‘tw*t’ as she ate her meal. Longest silence I’ve heard in years.

But I now have some very welcome explicit language for you.

Ready?

testi1

Colin Bennett was one of the marketers who grabbed our 121 Mentoring offer

And he’s absolutely delighted with the outcome as you can read in his testimonial>>

It’s not fair to Colin to tell you about his business but enough to say that the progress we’ve made together in the last few days has been quicker, more efficient and he tells us he’s seen more results than with any other support he’s received.

We still have a couple of places left, but they’re steadily being snapped up and I can’t see any being left for much longer. It IS an investment  but if you’re serious about moving your online business forward , and QUICKLY, then check out the website at http://www.121mentoring.com and start working with us today, on YOUR business.

It’s like having your own techy team working for you, and with people you can trust…If you’ve ever tried outsourcing tasks in the past, you’ll know what we mean :)

Pride poked me in the eye, and I learned pretty fast….

by Tony Shepherd on December 7, 2009

So I was at a bar.

Not too unusual. It happens with frightening regularity actually…in a good way of course.

I stood with two other blokes, clutching my pint and listening in fear to the techy conversation that was going on round me.

I was at a Mastermind group session in a hotel near Wakefield. In fact the same mastermind meeting still happens and it’s great fun but that’s another story.

The two other blokes (and I’m sure they won’t mind me naming names) were John Sikora from GuruDaq and David Allen who now owns SimpleMemberPro and a bunch of other stuff.

This was quite a few years ago now…..

The subject was FTP - something with which I’d only recently come to mess around with, and I was interested in the subject with the fervour felt by a cross dressing rugby player who learns that a new range of Jimmy Choos is now available in size 13.

Except I was CRAP at it (not cross dressing, although I’m not good at that either)

I didn’t know how to create a subdirectory. I knew that if you put an index.html file in the main folder it showed up as a webpage. But how the Hell did you do the same thing for a subdirectory?

I’d Googled, Yahood and even Dogpiled but I couldn’t find an answer. It was so simple (as I now know) but I spent literally a couple of weeks trying to work it out.

Of course I was too proud to ask.

I wasn’t doing too bad - I’d just made around $30,000 from a single ebook if memory serves (One Month Magnate) and was considered to be quite ‘on the ball’ at the mastermind meeting.

Which is why I couldn’t bring myself to ask a simple FTP question. In case you’re wondering I’d been building ALL my sites with a dreadful sitebuilder package that cost me around $100 a year per domain. That was the only way I could create subdirectories, which I needed for opt-in pages, download pages etc.

So at the bar, fortified by beer and the knowledge that I NEEDED to have this info, I asked the lads quietly…

‘So when you’re FTPing, how do you make a subdirectory?’

They turned and the whole room went quiet.

I was sweating like a fat girl in a pie shop.

‘You just make a new folder, call it whatever name you want and stick an index.htm file in it’ they chimed and carried on with the conversation.

I honestly couldn’t believe I hadn’t worked it out for myself. I was incredibly relieved and that one piece of information has been directly responsible for thousands upon thousands of dollars in profit for me.

Why did it take me so long to get help?

I reckon it’s the same reason that men find it impossible to ask for directions when they’re lost.

PRIDE.

But it’s changed me. Now I can stick my hand up in a room of experts and newbies alike and say ‘I didn’t understand that can you please tell me again’

Anyone who knows me will tell you that one of my favourite phrases is ‘Tell me that again’

And I’ll tell YOU right now that my business wouldn’t be anywhere near as successful if I hadn’t learned to ask for help years ago. And more importantly to KNOW when I needed it.

And this is why I’m holding out my hand to take money off some of you right now.121

I’ve just opened the doors on www.121mentoring.com

I’m offering my team of techies to work with you and mentor you in all things ‘complicated and technical’

In short, I want to help you cut through the crap that’s been holding you back. If your site doesn’t sell because it ‘looks wrong’ and it’s sapping your motivation then you need to do something about it. That’s what 121mentoring can do for you.

Likewise if you’ve got a half installed blog or a membership script that doesn’t work then you’re in danger of never getting to the REAL heart of your business, which is about making MONEY. The silly, complex, stupid little things that hold you back aren;t silly at all - the’re DANGEROUS because they can stop you FOREVER from establishing an online business.

A month or two using the team at 121mentoring and you can move forward more than you’ve done in the past year.

Over half of the slots have sold out in less than 24 hours…..and I’m NOT speaking to most of you here.

But the ones out there who have read this blog post twice and checked out the website. You’re the guys I’m looking at. Use my team correctly and you’ll make far more money than the subscription costs, and what’s more, you’ll finally be able to dig yourself out and get your business FLYING.

I have two great skills. One is the ability to make dogs bark by just looking at them, and the other (the one that means I’ll never work for anyone else again as long as I live) is the ability to realise when I need help and to ask for it.

What about you?

Internet Marketers Are Magpies…..

by Tony Shepherd on November 19, 2009

Internet Marketers are Magpies - we beg borrow and steal!
Thanks to Ian for giving me the idea for this post.

If you haven’t yet checked out my Perpetual Motion Marketing System you can do so here.silverbox-small - it’s free.

These simple ‘tweaks’ to my sales funnel brought me over $20,000 while I was just testing it out!

Actually the figure was more like $27,000 but like a prat I didn’t screenshot the figures at the time so could only give proof of around $20k.

Not complaining though :)

So - why the reference to Magpies?

Well the idea for Perpetual Motion Marketing System came from a few different sources and I want to show you why you should never stop learning, why in my opinion, the most profitable thing you can ever do online is develop the skill to extract the golden nuggets from any information you come across.

The main ‘nudge’ I had for this system was from Lee Mcintyre.

He allowed me behind the scenes of his setup quite a while ago follwing an interview I did with him.

I laughed during the interview and told him I was ‘taking notes’ of the info he was giving out.

I wasn’t joking! Lee is a very clever, very generous marketer and he’s been kind enough in the past to mention my name as someone whol helped him to get started.

Well now I’m equally happy to say a big thanks to Lee for showing me how his ‘engine’ worked.

So Lee’s system was a big influence in me testing this system and incorporating it into my own funnel.

 There’s a fair bit of my own experience and ideas in there too, such as the automatic recruitment of affiliates (the main aspect for automating the traffic process) and found that sending new subscribers to an OTO BEFORE they confirm their email address results in a slightly lower opt-in rate but a significantly higher conversion rate for the OTO.

Russell Brunson was also an influence on where to use short and clever’pre-sells’ in the process (you’ll see this in the Perpetual Motion funnel rather than the 90 days one) and this made an impact on conversion rates too.

There are also influences from Mike Filsaime, Paul Myers, Frank Kern, a ‘gem’ from Tahir Shah after a skype chat, and a verbal kick in the ass from Soren Jordenson who told me how I was leaving a ‘pile of money’ on the table by not doing one particular thing.

Oh….. and a SHEDLOAD from the feedback I got from KickStart Course members.

And a dash of ‘influence’ from a nice case of Red my wife’s uncle brought us back from France.

So thanks guys.

Extremely apprecaited, I hope this gives an insight into why being a bit of a beachcomber when it comes to finding and using the ‘gold’ in other people’s methods is possibly the most important skill you can develop online.

Except for …. putting your own stamp on everything you do.

There’s more to come on this next year………………

My Mobile Internet Marketing Business…

by Tony Shepherd on October 29, 2009

So - this is what I do best - wander off somewhere to chill out with my family for a few days or weeks…

I’m currently running my business from an old cottage that overlooks the bay. It’s a cracking view - very peaceful and the sort of place that slows your heart rate the moment you uncork a bottle of red and walk into the small courtyard.

In fact I’m typing this from the cottage kitchen - all wooden beams and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore through the open window.

My internet connection, which runs through my iphone is INCREDIBLY slow, but who cares?

In August we were in Scotland, then back home for a short while. Next I went to a marketing seminar in Manchester, then the day after we set off for the cottage up here.

We’ll be at home for Christmas then we’re off to France in the New Year for a while.

And all the time I’ll be keeping an eye on the business just using my laptop and mobile internet connection.

The stuff dreams are made of eh?

Yes - But this is the important part….

It’s entirely - ONE HUNDRED PERCENT POSSIBLE for every single person reading this to live the same way as I do……

…..Or have Ferraris and to travel and stay in the best hotels in the world if that’s what you want.

You just need two things:

1. Good wesbites that you can build FAST and that look good,
2. The ability to drive traffic to them pretty much at will.

Hold that thought for a sec…

Here’s a picture of my daughter at 7.15am this morning spotting rabbits in the field opposite

photos1

And here’s a picture of me checking my emails on a deserted beach (and getting told off by my wife for doing it) using my iphone :-)

 photos2

This is PRECISELY WHY I’ve sent you a couple of emails about John Thornhill and Dave Nicholson’s ‘Multi Profit Websites’ and I’ve been raving about the UNIQUE bonus I’m offering if you buy through my link - My 8 Week Traffic Generation Course…

It’s because the above package - MPW and my bonus - in my opinion brings together these two KEY things that are basically the bedrock of a successful IM business.

So here’s the lowdown.

If you buy Multi Profit Websites through my link I WILL make a commission.

But in return I’m offering you a place on my Traffic Generation Masterclass where I’ll show you EXACTLY how I drive traffic to my websites, and keep up with the big boys in the game, despite only working a couple of days a week…sometimes from a beach :-)

I guarantee you won’t have come across some of these methods before.

In short - I’m telling you about this because I think it could have a MEGA impact on your business.

The only downside is timing - because as I write 31 out of the 50 places on my MasterClass have sold out.

Check it out here

and give it some serious thought,  it won’t be available for much longer.

My Multi Profit Websites Bonus …and a slapped arse face

by Tony Shepherd on October 27, 2009

Well we’re (me and family) at the cottage - about 4 miles north of Whitby on the North East coast of England.photo

Walked five miles along a windswept beach yesterday and woke up this morning with a face like a slapped arse.

…that means red and sore if you’re non-Yorkshire :-)

But I might have something that’ll cheer you up.

It involves investing (ie spending) money in your business but some products are worth it and some are REALLY worth it!

This is the latter.

John Thornhill and Dave Nicholson spent $100,000 developing Multi Profit Websites, and it shows.

It allows anyone - any experience level - any technical ability - to produce websites that look as professional as the big boys produce.They can be built in minutes too!

Best of all you monetize them in just a few clicks.

I’m going to be using MPW myself. It really is that good.

Which is why I put together a VERY special bonus for anyone who buys Multi Profit Websites through my affiliate link.

But there are only 50 bonus places available and they’ve already started selling…

I’ve never offered anything like this before - it’s pretty special - so check it out if you were going to grab MPW.

John Tan interviewing me about Autoresponders

by Tony Shepherd on October 21, 2009

John Tan has launched a cracking new site based round a great idea.

http://marketinglunchbreak.com is a series of 5 minutes (more or less) interviews with internet marketing experts about various subjects they know inside and out.

John’s idea is that you can listen to one of the interviews in your lunchbreak or when you’re driving the car or taking a break from posting crap in the forums (guilty yesterday) get an insight into how other marketers run their business.

You can join marketinglunchbreak.com for free (opt in required) and hear experts such as Terry Dean, Dylan Loh, Mike Long, Dan Nickerson, and a handful of others including me.

I’ve been listening to them as they arrive via an autoresponder sequence, and I’ve been really enjoying them.

Here’s a sneak preview - one of two interviews I did with John.

Go and sign up - it’s good value for (no) money!

financialselfsufficiency.net

by Tony Shepherd on October 17, 2009

I asked a week or so ago if you’d send in some pics and vids of where you worked, and a little about your internet marketing business, whatever stage you’re at - full time or just a few hours a week.

You sent in so many that I built a new blog around them - http://www.financialselfsufficiency.net

It’s going to take a while to get it all up and running but suggestions about what you’d like to see on there are welcome - a blog maybe or some sort of JV forum.

…and I’ll do my best to sort it out.
