From Burned Out To 6-Figures a Month… (new case study)

Who: Jennifer McLean Website: www.healingwiththemasters.com www.healingrelease.com

"From Pinching Pennies to Fill the Gas Tank to Pulling In Six Figures a Month (all in a year and a half)"

After twenty-three years in marketing, she was toast.

Burned out.

Jennifer McLean was tired of working so much — to make other people millions of dollars. So she did what any reasonable marketing professional would do: she quit her comfortable 6-figure salary… to go sell insurance.

Two weeks later she realized there was no way on earth that was going to work for her.

With bills to pay and an area of expertise to tap, she decided to go into freelance marketing. It was like trudging uphill with a 500-pound weight on her back. She was still so burned out that putting her energy into this new venture was just about impossible — and it floundered.

Enter Dr. Joe Vitale. (Well, on CD at least.)

Jennifer listened to some of Joe's CD's and her mind started sparking with ideas, and what began as a very humbling chain of misfires started changing into a way to live her passion. She began building an online business as an affiliate marketer, promoting someone else's product.

Screech. Crash. Major déjà vu.

She was STILL essentially in the role of doing marketing for a client. It felt the same, and once again, she had no passion for what she was doing. Her real passion, being an energetic healer, was still not quite within reach. She knew she was onto something — but this wasn't quite it.

Then she connected with Ellen Britt, who was beginning a coaching program around a teleseminar marketing model based on the Nitro Blueprint System. Jennifer said, "Sign me up."

Before long, she realized she could apply internet marketing tactics to her passion, and create a business where "Every dime in my bank account is a direct result of being of service to someone else."

The coaching program wasn't even finished before Jennifer had taken action. She was blogging, working on her mindset, connecting with potential JV partners, and creating content she could multipurpose into different formats.

Ho'oponopono.

Jennifer's first product came out of doing an eight-week presentation on an energetic healing process called Ho'oponopono, which she recorded and formatted into an eight CD set. Working with her own product and some solid JV projects, she began building an email list, and went to work on what turned out to be the turning point in her business — a teleseminar called Healing with the Masters, which brought her shoulder to shoulder with the leaders in the human potential
movement.

"They might say no."

She realized they might say no going into each phone call with these giants in her field, but knew she only needed to find twelve who would agree to be interviewed by her for her teleseminar series. Of course, Jennifer had an ace up her sleeve as she asked, and it came in the form of a 50% commission on upgrading the free participants to purchasing the series, the participants are offered this as a one-time offer after they register for the free teleseminar.

It worked so well that her list swelled to 7,000 subscribers. The second teleseminar series brought in nearly 12,000 more subscribers. Within one year, her list had more than 33,000 subscribers. Just by being herself, she created enormous loyalty in her audience — and her speakers. Rather than feeling threatened, or like a competitor to her guests, she was a gracious host, delighting in cutting their substantial affiliate checks.

It was time for another book.

Jennifer notes that, "All books are marketing vehicles. They elevate your credibility and exponentially boost your status… and a best-selling book is even more powerful."

The "Big Book of You" sold out quickly, and Jennifer's audience appreciate her
as much as any of the big name speakers in the series.

Jennifer's advice to you as you're getting started:

• Pay your affiliates well. They are your advertising arm, and the easier and more motivating you make it for them to promote you, the better they'll do. You only pay them if they get results, and they'll get better results if the reward is high.
• You're likely to feel afraid - but moving through and past the fear is rewarding. Don't get freaked out when you don't make money right away. Some strategies take time, and the individual pieces may not seem to be profitable - but it's important not to get ahead of yourself or to quit when they don't seem to pay off immediately.
• Be friends with the influencers. If you can be yourself, and come from a place of contribution, befriending other people in your industry (rather than feeling threatened by them), you never know what could come from those connections. Jennifer ended up writing a chapter of Dr. Joe Vitale's book "The Key" largely because of her at-your-service attitude as she befriended him.
• Don't try to make your dream pay your mortgage right away. The world of internet marketing tends to be filled with a lot of hype. The promise of making $30k a month with no effort is enough to lure otherwise sensible entrepreneurs into a very stressful, expectation-filled pressure-cooker.

  There are smart ways to make the transition from employee to internet entrepreneur - but you want to do it in your own time and following your own passion.

• Don't expect this to be a life of leisure - but know that making millions for yourself instead of for your boss feels great. While Jennifer's working about as much as she did when she was in corporate America (nearly 70 hours a week some weeks), it's a night and day difference doing it for a business of her own. She can work from anywhere in the world, and is constantly grateful for the opportunity to help others.

What's ahead?

"The sky's the limit," she says.

Jennifer's hired some staff to help handle different parts of the business that are not her passion. She's planning a membership site launching in May, a publishing arm of her business, and more affiliate and JV programs featuring products she believes will help transform people's lives. Down the road, a European expansion may even be in the works.
