Something shocking happened when getting ready for Tuesday's free webcast.
I'm embarrassed to admit this because its kinda stupid on my part.
However if it saves you from making the costly mistake I made, while allowing you to still benefit from the valuable lesson learned, then its worth it.
Last week I was sitting at my "second office" in the local Border's Bookstore cafe when Joe Vitale called me up. We first started talking about Joe's favorite topic - his collection of rare exotic cars!
The conversation then lead into talking about the different hypnotic tweaks and techniques to cover on the webcast.
The longer we talked, the more excited Joe became for the call (he clearly lives and breaths hypnotic writing)… and the bigger my "Homer Simpson - DOH" moment became.
You probably know the feeling, realizing you have made a mistake… and then you realize how costly that mistake has been for you… and you want to instantly take action to make it right.
After the call with Joe, and hearing all the topics he was going to give out on the webcast, my passion for Hypnotic Writing was at an all time high.
And I felt like an idiot.
You see, we took over as the online publisher for all of Joe's hypnotic writing and marketing materials in 2003 and quickly grew it into a million dollar a year information empire because the material was that good. And the testimonials we received were amazing, customers sharing the dramatic results they received from using the hypnotic collection of products.
And that entire time, sitting next to me in my office, were printed copies of every single one of the Hypnotic Library products.
However, 18 months ago I loaned that collection to a friend. And as the saying goes, out of sight out of mind.
It would take 18 months, and one riveting phone call with Joe, to knock the sense back into me!
Here's what I mean.
If I had the collection of hypnotic tweaks, tips, shortcuts, templates and techniques for those 18 months… and using more and more of the hypnotic writing in our business… Nitro would be DOUBLE in size.
A costly mistake, wouldn't you agree?
I closed up my computer, took one last sip of mocha latte, and drove straight to Office Max to get new copies printed. Immediate rush, sparing no expense.
I've since been sitting here, at my desk, devouring page after page. And opening it up every time I'm working on new material for the business.
It clearly makes writing great emails, ads, optin forms - all of our marketing - faster, easier and more effective.
And its been energizing to start using more and more of these hypnotic tweaks every day.
(I even told everybody in our company to listen in on the webcast and download the Hypnotic Library as well)
Right now, you can receive this exact same Hypnotic Library and start experiencing results for yourself too.
Just make sure not to give it to a friend for 18 months!
Here's a tip… when you're friend asks you what's your online secret, just tell them, "If I told you I would have to hypnotize you."
-Kevin
P.S. When you get the Hypnotic Library today, you receive it for half off the normal price. What a deal!
However I'm jumping on a plane to head to L.A. right now for a top-secret meeting, and when I get back the Hypnotic Library will be going back up to its regular price. That means you only have a couple days left to get the Hypnotic Library.
P.S. The "find & replace" technique is one of the many *hypnotic tweaks* you can start using immediately after the webcast. Go here, register for the webcast, and tune in tonight to become a hypnotic tweaking master!
P.P.S. How many hypnotic tweaks do you think this blog post contains? You'll be able to spot them (and start using them yourself) after tonight's training!
This is a weekly series called “Everyday Entrepreneur” profiling successful online entrepreneurs who are seeing great success right now. No greater opportunity exists to start creating a part-time online income and then turn it into a full-time income then right now.
Please share this link with others who would benefit from a weekly dose of success.
Imagine going into work tomorrow and uttering those words and meaning it!
No matter how miserable you are in your job, no matter how much you long for the liberty you'd enjoy building a business of your own. You may be thinking in the back of your mind, is it really possible to go full-time online, especially in today's economy?
The answer is a responding yes and there's a guy in Dallas, Texas who just a few days ago did what might make budding online entrepreneurs still working at a job inspired in what's possible…
He gave notice at his job — to pursue his online business full-time.
Teevee Aguirre has been in management for 15 years, and has worked as the manager of a grocery store for the past several years. But as of March 1, 2009, he'll kiss all of that goodbye, and will begin working from home - or wherever else he wants to - as a full-time online entrepreneur.
So I asked Teevee the question that's got to be on the mind of everyone who's heard about his plan: Are you nuts?
He doesn't miss a beat.
He's done the math, and figures he could actually have quit a while back, comfortably. Adding together what he spends on gas, clothing, meals, and other expenses he racks up by working at a job, by working from home, he's automatically saving money.
His site's profitable, and between the money he's making online and the money he'll save, he'll be just fine, thank you very much.
That says nothing of the increase he's likely to see once he's able to devote more of his time to building his online business instead of spending time working at a job around the clock
Teevee started out like many people who catch a vision for building an online business. Being able to use his own mind, thoughts, and experiences to create something of value to people, something that could improve their lives — and where he could make money while he sleeps — was exciting.
Teevee was intrigued by the idea of not having to punch a clock, and physically work at a job to create his income. Instead, he could create a product and make money from it over and over.
Of course, once he got bit by the internet marketing bug, he faced the same challenges many internet entrepreneurs face.
He wanted it yesterday. There was so much to learn, so much to do, and he quickly realized this was not something he'd accomplish in a weekend. It was like catching a glimpse of the promised land, and then realizing he had to embark on a journey to get there. Quitting day would not come next week, or even next month.
This is where a lot of online marketers get frustrated and quit — or get tempted to take shortcuts that ultimately lead to dead ends. But Teevee did something really smart: he gave himself permission to take his time with it. He says, "If you truly want to make money, you've got to learn to let go of that pride that says you can do it quickly without following a step-by-step system." Take the time to learn what you need to learn.
At first he tried to do it patchwork-style. There is a ton of free information out there on how to build an internet business. Some of it is good. Some of it is horrible. If you try to assemble parts and pieces from a variety of sources, you're much more likely to end up with the Frankenstein version of a business rather than one that's sleek and profitable, one that actually makes enough money that you can quit your day job.
Teevee says he was constantly tempted to "invest" in the latest fad or "secret" to making millions online or take shortcuts. It's a common problem among budding internet marketers, and one he was warned about as he went through the Nitro Blueprint System. The problem with doing that is that before you know it, you're trying to execute ten different strategies at once. You're constantly jumping ship into the next promising no-fail tactic, and the end result is that you're unfocused and going nowhere.
Once he learned to focus on one thing at a time, and master it before adding something else, he got traction and started getting results.
He had too many ideas. This happens a lot to entrepreneurs — there's no shortage of ideas, and each one holds enough promise that it's easy to get derailed but hard to follow through until the point of completion. Teevee and his business partner Brad, when starting their first site, resolved to learn the system, to crack the code — before branching out into other niches. They learned how to build their systems, to put the idea together and then outsource it to get it built. Now, with the success of www.pumaskills.com to draw from, they can apply the same process to other ideas.
Teevee and Brad did something really smart — they worked together, and they followed a proven system. Teevee says they actually posted the roadmap poster included in the Nitro Blueprint System on the wall so they could visually mark where they were in the process.
Success didn't happen overnight. In fact, Teevee says he worked on their site for several months before they ever took money out of the business. But having that first check made the prior months worth it.
"As an entrepreneur, you have to be ready to work for free for a while — you don't just get a check, like when you punch a clock at a job," he says.
Between working 50 or more hours a week at his job it was a challenge to find time to invest in his online business. Maintaining the energy and momentum during the building process for a sustained time period was a challenge. But his persistence and the daily habits he learned with the Blueprint have paid off. By freeing himself from his day job, he'll have more time to devote to growing his current business, starting new projects to creating more income.
"If we did this much while I was still working at a job, with such limited time, just imagine what I'll be able to do now," Teevee says.
His plans for expansion also include teaching and training others, especially children. With the liberty his online business will provide, he hopes to work with a local community center to mentor high school kids.
Teevee's advice to other entrepreneurs about starting an online business:
When you find yourself getting off track, get back on where you left off.
Find someone to partner with, a mastermind group, or someone you can call to keep yourself accountable.
And don't forget to reward yourself along the way — acknowledge your successes and take time to relax rather than just constantly raising the bar for what you commit to accomplishing.

BRAND NEW
One thing we are known for is pioneering the entire 1-click multiple upsell process several years ago. It was most recently made popular with the "Launch Tree" promotion in April of this year.
Anybody who talks about it now, either directly or indirectly learned it from us. Many people call Nitro the "Godfathers" of modern day upsell.
Last year we came out with an advanced training program called Nitro Quattro that sells for $997. One of the 10 modules was on upsells.
This month I'm giving all of our Quattro customers the 2009 Update to the upsell module. It shows exactly how we average a $448.56 average customer upsell value, just from our upsell funnel.
Most people are happy with a $50 customer value. People consider $100 a home run. Ours is $448.56 (10 times higher than most anybody else) because of some POWERFUL discoveries we have made from all of our testing and tracking.
For the first 10 people who get Mass Control from this link, not only will you receive our $30 Per Opt-In Bonus. I will also mail you a complete physical copy of our Nitro Quattro Home Study Course… and give you access to the updated for 2009 Upsell Module that shows you EXACTLY how we average $448.56 just in upsells from every front end customer.
This is the perfect compliment to Mass Control and can't wait to see how much cash it puts into your pocket the next few months.
3) We will give you our training program that is ONLY for our team here at Nitro, it's NOT for sale.
It shows you exactly how to duplicate our most successful sales funnel that averages $30.75 PER Opt-In!
And, the first 10 people will also receive our $997 Nitro Quattro Home Study Course… as well as the updated training showing you exactly how we average $448.56 in upsells per customer.
When I got started online, I did EVERYTHING myself.
Chief bottle washer, bottle cap counter and toilet bowl cleaner!
All my time was spent answering support questions, fixing broken links on my site, writing content, figuring out how to get a new opt-in form up at the site. And, if I was lucky, fit in a couple minutes to do some marketing so I actually made some money from all my busy-ness.
After awhile that got old, FAST.
And if I kept it up, I'd still be struggling today to make a few dollars while working my butt off 20 hours a day, 7 days a week.
It wasn't long before I began to outsource the activities I didn't like.
Automate the stuff that was repetitive.
And turned my business into a system that other people could run for me.
Now I get to spend my time doing the things I LOVE in my business while enjoying life to its fullest.
When should you start outsourcing, automating and systemizing your business?
DAY 1 (meaning TODAY)
If you start to develop this habit now, even if you are getting started, you will thank me BIG TIME over the coming months as years.
Especially when you look at the poor folks who read this and think "I'll do that later" and are miserable, struggling to make any money and become slaves to their business. While you outsourced all the junk you don't want to do anymore, automate all the mind-numbing activities that need to be done, and your business runs day-in-day-out like a well oiled machine.
It, quite frankly, is never too early to start outsourcing, automating and systemizing… if you know the right way to do it.
HOW To Make It Happen?
(OPTION 1) If you are an owner of our Nitro Blueprint System. Then you already have our "brain dead simple" training on this topic.
-or-
(OPTION 2) If you don't own either of those, but would love to get your hands on our "brain dead simple" training on "Outsourcing-Automating-Systemizing" your business…
…then do the following.
First, go to this page and take a trial of Rich Schefren's awesome "Cash Maps" program. Every single month he sends you a big envelope full of "process maps" for each area of your business.
This is your secret weapon to outsourcing and systemizing your business. Trust me, these rock, I've been a paying customer since August of last year just like you will become.
And, after you get it (there's no risk to check it out). Then, next, go here and submit a support ticket and include a copy of your receipt and we will give you our "brain dead simple" training on how to outsource, automate and systemize your business.
The monthly Cash Maps… or our super-simple training are awesome on their own. Then, when you combine the two of them, the synergy is off the charts. That's why I'm letting you have our training when you get Cash Maps today.
Its hard to convey emotion in words.
But if we were sitting across from each other, you would feel my pain and agony I had to go through to learn this lesson. And hear my conviction on the importance of taking action on this. And see my excitement and happiness I now have after figuring this out.
Hopefully something "clicked" with you and, instead of "doing it later," you're going to take action on this today. Your business, your family and your life will thank you!
This is the first in a weekly series called “Everyday Entrepreneur” profiling successful online entrepreneurs who are seeing great success right now. No greater opportunity exists to start creating a part-time online income and then turn it into a full-time income then right now.
Starting from nothing in 2006 – no portfolio, no client list, no experience – Sue LaPointe’s commercial freelance writing business, Triumph Communications , grew so big that she faced an opportunity and a problem.
The opportunity was to build an information marketing business teaching other people how to also build thriving writing businesses from nothing. The problem was that she was literally flooded with clients and work. The 12-hour days were becoming stressful, as she found herself bogged down in project management.
Once a dream of having too much work, now the reality was that she was literally maxed out on what her company could do. Even though much of the writing and the process of getting work was outsourced, she was still overseeing every project.
Project management was a step-by-step process but she was the only one who knew those steps. How could she ever take time off from her 12 hour days? God forbid, what would happen to her business if something happened to her?
She knew that having an online business selling information was the ticket to earning residual income from her writing. But until she freed up some time to build her information marketing business, she’d still be trading time for money (a JOB!) with her writing business. Cutting back on the amount of work her business was taking in was not an option. Bills still had to be paid!
She found the solution as she was working through the Nitro Blueprint system.
Kevin Wilke advises in the Blueprint “If there is any task in a business that you are going to do more than once, you’re going to have to delegate it.” He even provides a three-step process.
The first time you do it, learn how to do it.
The second time you do it, document everything you do, as if you are going to teach someone else.
The third time you do it, actually teach someone else.
As lightbulbs went off in her head, Sue immediately began to plot how to implement this idea in her own business.
Promoting from within, she hired one of her best writers as her new editor. She documented the process of saving, editing and submitting work, and delegated it to her editor.
Outsourcing this portion of her work costs only $100 per week, but gives Sue back close to 30 hours of time. Not only an awesome return on investment, this shift allowed her to expand her writing business even more and devote more time to developing her information marketing business to create new “hands-off” residual income.
In her own words, Sue LaPointe says:
“Before finding the Nitro Blueprint System, I'd invested three years and thousands of dollars trying to crack the Internet marketing code. I'd successfully built a freelance writing business, but knew information marketing was the future for my business. Thing was, I was so tied up with project management as my writing firm grew that building my site kept getting pushed to the back burner. The Blueprint has made the process a lot more manageable - a step by step process toward time freedom. Sticking with ONE system has made a lot of confusion disappear, and even just this one tip about how to delegate repetitive tasks has had measurable results.”

Before 'PNM'…
As far as, picking my niche…I had made a long list but was unclear as to which one to use. Watching the webinar and buying Proven Niche Markets has taught me first of all, taking action is the only way that I will move forward in the direction that I will feel good about. Second, it absolutely helped me by doing the research for the niches I am interested and I have settled into one area that I will be working for 3 months straight. I feel so informed and inclined to take the action needed. Thank you so much for clearing up for the questions that were on my mind.
Why buy 'PNM'…
I felt stuck with a million ideas of interest and not going on to taking action. I felt that the purchase of Proven Niche Markets would give me the jump start that I needed to find my niche. I needed to breathe and relax and this purchase has done just that. My first impression was "Wow…this list is so impressive and I am ready to dive in and pick out the niche that I wanted to use."
My results with 'PNM'…
My "ah-ha" moment came to me after I listed about 6 choices of my favorite niches. I used the graph to calculate the scores and came up with my perfect niche. I was finally able to communicate with my husband about the niche I had chosen, how I had done it and most of all what were my next steps. This also helped me to share that "ah-ha" moment with him and we both are fired up!
I want to thank you for giving me the little push to move forward. I now feel my visions are stronger and I now feel again the confidence in myself that was so desperately need. Again, thanks so much!!!
Here's Greg Free's experience…
Before 'PNM'…
I was utterly overwhelmed, asking myself what I 'love to do', that I could make money from. Cruising magazine racks at Barnes and Noble. Basically wasting valuable time.
Why buy 'PNM'… ROI, plain and simple. Your research method is sledgehammer logic. These markets are alive and kicking today, based on data from some names that have been hugely successful at what I want to do. I got 241 markets to work for $97.
My results with 'PNM'…
I have had time to open them both and skim through. I will go full-bore Saturday morning. I ranked my markets, got my top 10, brainstormed 2 review sites and found 1 affiliate program. Expertly put together, this is hand-holding with no hands. As for me, if I was one to make excuses, $97 just covered every excuse I could possibly make about not starting my business online.
I was very impressed. This is the first product I have purchased from Nitro and you have exceeded my expectations in presentation and content.
Here's Jimmy Paul's experience…
Before 'PNM'…
I did not have a clear direction. I wish I had found your services before I had spent close to $ 2,000 with other marketers.
Why buy 'PNM'…
To get help with my search to find a market to cater to.
My results with 'PNM'…
Very satisfied. Like I said, I wish I had found you first. Discovering the range of markets. There are a lot of markets that I would not have guessed the public would be responsive to.
I feel, you have services that actually help those like me to get started.
Here's Andre Janisch's experience…
Before 'PNM'…
I was in the process of figuring out what a good niche would be.
Why buy 'PNM'…
It seemed like a great shortcut to finding profitable niches.
My results with 'PNM'…
After looking at all the search terms PNM had supplied I realized there are nearly limitless options when it comes to creating a product.
I love the different comprehensive lists PNM supplies because it's packed with words that act as springboards to great products.
Here's Paula Miller's experience…
Before 'PNM'… I'm totally new to online business. I guess I'm like everyone else, not sure how to get started. Didn't have a clue about how to pick a niche.
Why buy 'PNM'…
I had that "ah hah" moment when I saw your webinar. Made me very curious to go to the website. Normally I just skip the sales page if it doesn't grab my attention in the first few paragraphs. Your page was different. The webinar kind of opened me up. These people had something to say. I actually read every word.
My results with 'PNM'…
At first I was a little disappointed. Let me explain. I went to look at the list first. I just thought well this is very helpful. N-O-T!!! I then decided I need to read the book or I'm going to return this package!!
Can I just say WOW!!!
I read the book!! It was like you guys just jumped into my head and knew what I was thinking. I stayed up all night. Just to devour all of the content. I can't even imagine the work that was involved to put this together. But I'll tell you what… I'm ready to jump in with both feet. Thank you so much. Now I can get started online! I wouldn't change a thing with Proven Niche Markets.
Here's Mickey Mixon's experience…
Before 'PNM'…
I had decided to select clickbank affiliate products, set up websites and drive traffic to them. I was able to set up several websites but traffic was light.
Why buy 'PNM'…
I did keyword search on the websites I set up but it was very time intensive. I saw the value in the Proven Niche Markets product immediately because it came with the niche's keywords.
My results with 'PNM'…
My first impression was, wow, I've got information for literally hundreds of websites. And websites that will be keyword rich, in prime niche markets.
Previously I had been doing the right things, but in the wrong markets. My websites were not as keyword optimized as they should have been. Now I know I have the right information, i.e the best niches and the correct keywords. My Ah-Ha moment came when I realized that regardless of the niches I picked, I couldn't go wrong because it was a winner!
I have decided to select several of the niches, and select an affiliate product in that niche, and do a product review website that describes the problem and how the product can fix the problem. I will use articles, press releases and social media/blogs to drive traffic.
Here's Joes Maria Rodriguez's experience…
Before 'PNM'…
Actually I'm just starting…and new to all of this.
Why buy 'PNM'…
It's a no brainier, why would anyone want to reinvent the wheel?! When I first heard about niche markets I was totally lost…where do I start? Thanks to you guys I now know.
My results with 'PNM'…
Wow! As you can probably see I saw the light. What impressed me the most is that I now know were to concentrate and target my efforts as a newbie. I've already identified several niche markets, thanks to your program.
The "ah-ha" moment was the realization that I can do this and achieved a lot more with your program "Proven Niche Markets" by piggyback on what's been proven…and not have to worry so much about how to figure out what keywords to use…since it's all part of the program.
It's a fantastic program! And I'm grateful for what I've learn so far about PNM before launching a website/blog…Its raised my confidence.
I closed up my computer, took one last sip of mocha latte, and drove straight to Office Max to get new copies printed. Immediate rush, sparing no expense.
