By Alex Mandossian

If you want to accelerate your professional productivity (maximum results in minimum time), then you must discover the secret to “virtualizing your physical enterprise.”

The best way to “virtualize” is simply to “leverage” human activities and replace them with “robotic” or “automated” activities.

Leverage here is defined as maximum productivity with minimum effort). A great example of how one best-selling author replaced “human” effort with leveraged automation is Jack Canfield with The Success Principles.

Jack and Mark Victor Hansen have sold over 100 million Chicken Soup books over the years uti lizing the “human” effort of physical promotion and book tours. Yet, one “Virtual Book Tour” can sell more than 20 bookstore visits!

Glossary: “Virtualization” is the process of transforming redundant “human” multi-effort activities into single effort “virtual” results such as replacing many “physical” book tours with one Virtual Book Tour.

Hosting two Tele-Clinics (Back-2-Back) can lead to long-term profits…

Story Behind Tele-Clinic #1: On July 7th, 2008 I purchased a URL www.NewAmazingSoftware.com which is a “forwarding” URL to track the opt-in conversion of a “squeeze” page for a free Teleseminar.

I’ll refer to it in this CASE STUDY as Tele-Clinic #1 because it’s the first of two Tele-Clinics on Thursday evening, July 17th.

Tele-Clinic #1 is scheduled at 5pm Pacific (8pm Eastern) and it even has an online “step-by-step” tutorial you can experience now by visiting: www.SmartStartSitePreview.com

Story Behind Tele-Clinic #2: On April 23rd, 2008, I took out my handy FlipVideo player and created a 15-minute impromptu video of the actual “Limo Consultation” Wayne Van Dyck paid me for. (It’s the video on this post!)

This is a time-proven marketing strategy I’m utilizing more and more for product launches and I call it [Read more…]

You Are “The Message”

By Alex Mandossian

“The medium is the message” is a phrase coined by Marshall McLuhan meaning that the form of a medium imbeds itself in the message, creating a symbiotic relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived.

The phrase was first introduced in his most widely known book, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, published in 1964, which was also the year I was born :-)

McLuhan proposed that media itself, not the content carried, should be the focus of the communication.

Well, I don’t agree. I think the Messenger is the Message. You, as the content provider, are the Message. Check out what I mean here on this 5-minute video: www.HubAndSpokeVideo.com

You don’t have to agree with me, but I do want you to [Read more…]

“Improver” or “Inventor” in Your Business?

By Alex Mandossian

“Never invent, always improve.”

This four-word sentence is indelibly etched in my mind right now. I also have that quote framed and hanging on the wall of my home office.

The marketing philosophy of choosing improvement over invention has generated millions of dollars for my info publishing business and my students’ businesses.

Although the idea of becoming an “Improver” is not as sexy as being known as an “Inventor,” it is improvement, not invention, that has generated billions for some of the most renowned Thought Leaders in history. Ironically, many of these folks have been inaccurately dubbed as “Inventors.”

Here’s one example: Nikola Tesla invented the modern alternating current electric power (AC) systems. Thomas Edison improved it. Telsa died broke. Edison died a millionaire.

Here’s another: Charles Haanel is the true [Read more…]

The Birth of the “Virtual Book Tour”

November 20th, 2002 was an important day for me.

On that evening, I drove into the Book Passage (bookstore) parking lot in Corte Madera, CA and I met Al and Tipper Gore during their live “physical” book signing. I was shocked when I discovered that they only sold a few hundred books. I knew there had to be a better way.

The better way to sell books or info products is a Virtual Book Tour … which has been the topic of this video blog and my 4-module series.

Since 2002, I’ve conducted nearly a hundred Virtual Book Tours (“VBTs”). And today, I charge almost $5K to interview authors (for 60 minutes) and mail my online list on their behalf.

If you’re reading this before June 5th at 6pm Pacific (9pm Eastern), that evening I’m hosting a live Preview Call for my VBT teleseries and I want you to attend.

If you register before the dealine, you’ll save $79 on your tuition as a result of reading this blog post with this Discount Code: gabe1025.

The Power and Influence of “Marketing Lexicons”

By Alex Mandossian

Standard Podcast Play Now | Play in Popup

If you want to burn your brand into minds of your students or customers … then I encourage you to begin thinking about creating your own marketing “lexicon” (vocabulary) in order to develop your own Glossary of Terms.

By so doing, you’ll automatically create your own vocabulary or language that instantly and automatically separates you from your competitors or rivals. Yet most info marketers fail to see the power of developing their own marketing lexicon.

But once you create a new vocabulary to amplify your marketing message (Tim Ferriss does with his 4-Hour Work Week blog and book), you almost instantly become an expert by “defining” your ideas.

Glossary: A “lexicon” is the mental vocabulary in another person’s mind for a specific language, social class, field, industry or glossary that communicates, organizes and pre-defines new ideas or concepts.

Who Knows You? (The Power of “Connecting”)

By Alex Mandossian

When you want to tap into the power of “connecting” with your friends or business colleagues, remember it’s not who you know … it’s WHO KNOWS YOU that counts most.

Consider the implications of “Metcalfe’s Law“. I won’t go into the formula (you can read about it at Wikipedia), but I will tell you it all started with telephone networks. Then it went into fax networks. Then to operating systems. And then the Internet.

Today, all the hype is about “social networking” sites, right?
