Got “Affiliate Signup” Access On Your Blog?
Do you see Affiliate Signup button (the one I’m pointing at) on the upper left side of this blog?
I published that button a week ago (as an experiment) to test if I’d get a “passive” spike in attracting new Affiliate Partners and so far, I’ve doubled my daily Affiliate sign-up rate.
Even if this “doubling” effect doesn’t continue, “shame on me” for not adding that button to my blog sooner!
How about you? Do you have an affiliate program? Do you have a blog?
If you answered “YES” to both questions, then I encourage you to ask yourself this question before you put your Affiliate sign-up button on your blog:
“Do I want my Affiliate Program to be ‘closed’ or ‘open’?”
A “closed” program is typically only available to Affiliates who have also purchased one of your offers. An “open” program is available to anyone who is in good standing with you and wants to promote your offers.
For the first 8 years of my online marketing experience, I had a “closed” affiliate program. But it is now “open” as a result of wanting to build-out the AskAlexToday “outer circle” calls held on the first Thursday of each month.
Turning Pro: The difference between an “amateur” and a “professional” is $1. The moment you make your first dollar, you’ve turned “pro” from my point of view.
Since my goal to get you to “turn Pro” as fast as possible, I’ll (more…)

How Your “Actionizer” Can Change Behavior
If you’ve heard me speak on stage or on a Teleseminar, then you’re already familiar with my favorite “monetization” mantra: “Marketing changes minds. Promotion changes behavior.”
Read those six words again and again because they’re indelibly etched in your mind, you’ll dramatically improve the results of your presentations.
The key element to “monetizing” your marketing an “Actionizer.” A high value, dramatic action device that inspires, motivates and influences your audience to take physical action.
The $100 poker chip (above) was the “Actionizer” I tested at my Teleseminar Secrets Reunion on March 7th, 2009.
It changed behavior to get people to say “Yes” to the DoublingIncomeSecrets 5-Module Bookinar Series in less than 59 seconds. If you were there see if you can spot yourself. Click the video to see it now.:
Key Point: Before you design any presentation curriculum, it’s important that you write down these 3 verbs:
Think (”mind”) <—— Feel (”heart”) <—— Do (”body”)
Then ask yourself these 3 critical questions: (more…)

New Equation of “Personalized” Accountability
What makes good entrepreneurs great is accountability.
Accountability to their business, to their teams, to their vendors, to their families and to themselves. Accountable entrepreneurs are leaders. They don’t get in the habit of making excuses.
And above all, they have a burning desire and willingness to accept responsibilities with a “beginner’s mind” and do whatever it takes to get the job done.
Accountable entrepreneurs assume nothing and question everything. They’re fearless “truth-seekers” and chase advice from practically everyone around them - their colleagues, their team members, their customers and most importantly, their personal “Accountability Partners.”
Does this sound like someone you know so far?
If it does, then at this moment you have an opportunity of a lifetime to seek out one Accountability Partner or “AP” who’s life you can change and who will change your life, by simply meeting once a week, 52 weeks a year.
Accountability Partnerships (APs) are (more…)

Virtual + Physical = Massive Marketing Reach
This is a true story. On Friday, April 3rd, I was invited to participate as a faculty member for the Ultimate Business Mastery Summit in Las Vegas, NV (March 31st - April 4th) hosted by Tony Robbins and Chet Holmes. The event is SOLD OUT.
Unfortunately, I had a schedule conflict with my good friends at Early To Rise because I was asked to Emcee their Profits in Paradise workshop at the Peabody Hotel in Orlando, which is also sold out.
Suddenly, it hit me - why can’t I teach at both events?
Even thought I’m committed to ETR, I could still teach at the UBMS in Las Vegas through a Webcast from my hotel room and invite TeleWebcast listeners like you to get access to the same 60-minute, Internet Optimization training.
And that’s exactly what I’m doing after getting permission from the team at UBMS … and I do hope you participate and invite your friends and colleagues.
Want To Participate? Visit www.OptimizationMastery.com to get private TeleWebcast access on Friday night at 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern for $20 and you may even invite one friend or business colleague to the training at no extra fee.
KEY POINT: Remember to use your VIP Discount Code - AM3964 - to save $79 off the $99 tuition everybody will pay who don’t read this blog post.
But that’s not all … (more…)

Watch This If Confused About “Social Networks”
As Lee LeFever says at the beginning of this great 1 minute, 48 second video: “Networks get things done.”
In less than two minutes, he clearly describes how networks evolve and why they’re so important to us in our personal and professional lives.
I really admire teachers who can reduce complicated concepts to their simple essence. This video is easy to understand and I encourage you to pass it along to others who may be still be confused by the “social networking” revolution.
If you look up the term, Social Network, in Wikipedia, here are the most help 250 words you’ll find in their very detailed definition:
Social networks are social structures made of nodes (which are generally individuals or organizations) that are tied by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as values, visions, ideas, financial exchange, relationships, kinship, dislikes or trade.
In its simplest form, a social network is a map of all of the relevant ties between the nodes being studied. The network can also be used to determine the social capital of individual actors. These concepts are often displayed in a social network diagram, where nodes are the points and ties are the lines.
Just for fun, see if you can correctly answer these (more…)

What Makes Good Trusted Advisors Great?
We are no longer in the Information Age. We are at dawn of the Recommendation Age and what Entrepreneurial CEOs need most these days are trusted advisors.
And if you want to become the most recommended (and wealthiest) trusted advisor on your topic of expertise, then I encourage you to adopt the Thought Leadership (TL) Mindset.
As soon as Jay Abraham decided to adopt his TL Mindset, he quickly became the world’s highest paid marketing consultant … almost overnight!
I can’t guarantee that you’ll achieve the same revenue or status results that Jay has enjoyed over the past 30 years, but I can guarantee to educate you to make an intelligent decision on which TL Mindset is ideal for you.
The TL Mindset I discovered about myself was my unique ability to conduct Teleseminar expert interviews back in 2002. Since then I have been acknowledged by my colleagues, friends, mentors and students as “The Larry King of Teleseminars.”
I am now a trusted advisor for many of the world’s greatest Thought Leaders within the Human Potential Movement.
Now it wasn’t easy to get leaders such as (more…)

The “BIG IDEA” Whose Time Has Come
Impossibility only defines a task’s degree of difficulty. Do you believe in that premise? I know I do …
The truth is, I only look for strategic alliance partners who believe that difficult tasks can be done immediately and seemingly impossible tasks take a little longer ;-)
The VSU Story: In the Spring of 2008, a strategic alliance partner of mine, who also shares the impossiblity premise above, chose me to help her execute a BIG IDEA. It was truly an idea “whose time had come” and one we had both independently thought about many years earlier.
The BIG IDEA was to find and secure a new and sustainable distance learning channel to teach micro- entrepreneurs (0 - 10 employees) how to boost their productivity and profits with practical, duplicable and low-cost tactics that are easy-to-implement regardless of economic conditions.
Deb Shaw is that strategic alliance partner and co-founder of VSU. For her, the BIG IDEA meant to democratize business intelligence and make marketing best practices available to all entrepreneurs … without having any bias to their ethnicity, creed or socio-economic status.
For me, the BIG IDEA meant (more…)

“Outer Circle Marketing” Target Exposed
Picture yourself with a bow and quiver full of arrows. You aim at one of the five circles or rings on your target that graduate inward from WHITE to BLACK to BLUE to RED and finally, YELLOW.
The biggest outer circle is WHITE and directly surrounds the smaller BLACK ring closer to the middle. (Please refer to the picture to the left to see the five colored rings).
The BLACK circle surrounds a smaller BLUE circle, which in turn, surrounds an even smaller RED circle. That RED circle surrounds the fifth circle which is YELLOW and in the center of the target known as the “bull’s-eye.”
Why am I telling you this?
I’m telling you this because it is a useful analogy of how your prospects take aim at your marketing offers, whether they want to become first-time customers or multi-buyers.
The way I see it, the WHITE outermost ring represents your “get-to-know-you” offer such as a free Teleseminar, eBook, audio eCourse or video.
This is your opt-in email offer. To continue the analogy, it is that defining moment when a new prospect has successfully hit your target by aiming and shooting their imaginary arrow at your outermost WHITE circle.
“Outer Circle Marketing” is Time-Tested: Please realize that what I’m talking about here is not just another clever marketing analogy that’s untested. It is tested and it is time-proven.
OCM = “Outer Circle Marketing” and that’s also the formal name I’ve given to this new breakthrough strategy. If you want to experience it first hand, join my AskAlexToday Teleseminars scheduled on the first Thursday of each month.
I’ve utilized OCM for the past 2 years with (more…)
