Joshua Shafran, David LeDoux, Jack Zufelt and Mark Joyner.

Those are some of my online mentors that played a significant role in my early online success… some starting as far back as 1998 when I was a green as grass 22 year old kid getting started in online business. (And now they are some of my best, most trusted friends.)

Today, I'm a part of 6 mastermind groups. Vistage costs $9,600 a year, Ryan Deiss and Perry Belcher's Million Dollar Earners Mastermind costs $20,000 a year, Yanik Silver's Internet Maverick Business Adventures costs $7,500 a year, Strategic Coach costs $8,000 a year. Plus 2 other private groups. In addition to having my own business and life coach I meet with for 1 hour a week.

And the return on investment (and business connections) I receive from being a part of those groups is off the charts. (Plus some of my closest and most trusted friends come from groups like these.)

The truth is to become successful, you NEED help. I honestly don't know a single successful person who didn't receive help along the way. The idea of the "lone wolf", blazing their own trail, too proud to seek help and guidance from others is a myth.

And the best help comes from mentors and mastermind groups.

Here's a secret… I have a specific yet simple formula for quickly getting amazing results whenever I set out to learn something new.

It involves a 2-step process to both finding a mentor and forming a mastermind.

Recently I was interviewed by Sona Vanderhoot, founder of the Center for Collaborative Mentorship, for their newest training program.

And she was kind enough to allow me to share it with you.

Download the "The Proven Formula to Mentors & Mastermind" audio mp3

and

Download the 5-page written re-cap pdf of the training.

Here is some of what you will receive in this 60 minute training…

  • How to avoid the crippling Internet (and Entrepreneurial) Isolation.
  • The "5 People" Secret To Your Success.
  • The 3 Key Factors to making a new mastermind group work over the long-term.
  • The 2 Methods to finding mentors in your life. (every mentor I've had came from using one of these 2 methods)
  • How to form a strong, long-term relationship with your mentors so everybody wins and they want to keep mentoring you. (plus what to avoid that always leads to failed
    mentorships)
  • How to identify and work within your strengths and passions in business and life.
  • The key to what TRULY motivates you over the long term.
  • The 1 trick that allows you to avoid failure in your life.
  • The 2 steps to become and stay motivated over the long AND short term. (most people do one, or the other, but rarely both steps)
  • My best advice for people who have not yet become successful.
  • My "Action Items" that allow you to immediately take action and implement what you learned on this call.

Your feedback…

Please take a minute to share your own success stories, experiences, and insights to finding and working with mentors and masterminds in your life.

Just post a comment below.

Sounds like a tall order: Start a legitimate online business without being bankrolled or being an internet marketing genius. But it’s actually not that big a stretch.

Of course, you could do it the hard way by spending literally thousands of dollars to learn all the ins and outs of internet marketing. There are even a few colleges out there that offer degrees in internet marketing now. Going that route could take you a couple of years to get started (and I can’t even imagine what the tuition bill would look like!).

There are also dozens and dozens of “internet business in a box” kind of courses you could buy and take – and some of them are good. Others are created by people who’ve never actually built an online business – their only experience is in trying to teach you how! Their prices range from what you could probably scoop out of your sofa cushions up to tens of thousands of dollars.

But let’s say you’re starting from square one – you know how to right-click, but that’s about it… and you’ve got only a little bit of money to invest in your online business education. How do you get started?

There are three basic ways you can build a legitimate online business – as an affiliate (selling other people’s products), as an advertising site (selling space to advertisers), and by selling your own products (either information or physical products).

Each of these business models has its own advantages and each one has a different learning curve. You could do any of these three easily with some good, solid, step-by-step training – even if you’re just starting out. The important thing is to follow a proven business building system rather than trying a little of this and a little of that.

It’s really easy to get sidetracked and fall into shiny object syndrome where you end up spending a lot of time and money trying every new “foolproof” internet marketing tool. (Check out these case studies where we interviewed some people who’ve had tremendous success by using the Nitro Blueprint System… and notice how many of them got “stuck” when they started chasing shiny objects – and “unstuck” when they focused.) ->> http://www.nitromarketing.com/blog/category/everyday-entrepreneur/

Other than buying an internet marketing course, the next expense most people will have is in buying and hosting a domain, and building a site. There are ways to do that inexpensively and still get great results.

One other expense you’ll need to plan for in the beginning is a list management service – so when people visit your site and want more information you’re able to stay in touch with them. There’s a wide range of pricing for all of these. The one we use and recommend is Aweber.

The first step is educating yourself. Use a proven internet business blueprint you can follow from the start – and commit to taking action on it every day so that you make progress. If you’ll focus on building your online business, and you follow the steps, you’ll start to see money coming in.

Once that happens, you can try fancy new tactics to grow the business, and get more advanced training. It’s not going to happen overnight – but no matter how little you know now, you can build a profitable online business more easily and less expensively than you’d imagine.

I first was clued into this "Secret Side" to Google a couple years ago at a $25,000 per person high-end seminar.

The guy I was talking to was a 23 year old kid and doing $350,000 a month online with just 1 front-end product he sold for $39.95… and no product launches, no affiliates, none of that fancy stuff.

Obviously I was interested in learning more.

His secret…

He almost exclusively used the "Content Network" side of Google's PPC program.

What is that??

That's where your ad shows up on other people's website (that is related to your product) who put Google's Adsense Ads on their site.

Why is this so powerful?

1) Less competition because most people don't understand it, and if they do try it, they get BAD results. So most people avoid it.

2) That means lower per-click costs. So you are spending less to get the same amount of traffic.

3) The ad inventory of targeted traffic is MASSIVE. With normal PPC advertising, you are VERY limited to the number of people who search for your keywords. However, think about how much time you spend visiting webpages versus doing a search at Google. Is it a 20 to 1, maybe even 50 or 100 to 1 factor.

Conservatively there is 10 to 100 times more traffic on the "PPC Content Network" side of Google compared to the "PPC Search" side.

4) Most niches are what I call "In-Direct Traffic" niches. That means most people are not actively searching for what you have to offer… however if they heard about it they would be interested. That means you need to go where they are at online and put your message in front of them. The Content Network allows you to do this within minutes.

That means the BIG opportunity to get A LOT of traffic (and inexpensively) is using the "Content Network" side to Google.

Virtually ever highly successful "Underground" online marketer I know using PPC gets most of their traffic via the Content Network. I'm talking about people bringing in 6-figures a month or more.

Let me give you an example.

My buddy Don is in the Graduate School Admissions niche. He helps college kids get into graduate school.

The average admissions rate nationwide is 20%, he has an 80% success rate with students who follow his system.

The problem is, most college kids are not actively searching for help on this topic. They are too busy partying, and then worrying at the last minute what they are going to do.

However, they are visiting websites online ALL the time. And constantly have in their back of their mind worry about getting into Graduate School… so when they see Don's ad on a site they are visiting they click through to check it out.

Currently almost 85% of Don's PPC traffic comes from the Content Network
side of Google, and only 15% from the Search side of Google.

If Don didn't know this Secret Side of Google… he would be doing 85% less in sales.

In fact, once he really figured this out, he closed his office, fired his staff, and now leisurely works his business part-time from the patio at his house in Huntington Beach.

Are you also missing out on 85% of your sales?

Another nice benefit with the Content side… if you know what you are doing you can get up and going quickly.

Recently I set up a campaign. It took about 75 minutes to do the keyword research, create my ads and set up the campaign. Then a couple minutes each day "refining" the campaign to remove unwanted sites. Now it basically runs on auto-pilot. I log in every few weeks to see how it is doing.

It's currently generating new customers for a $97 product at a cost of $22.
That's a $75 profit per customer.

Pretty sweet deal.

Warning

The Content PPC Side of Google is VERY different from the Search PPC side of Google.

If you try and treat them the same… you will fail badly. That's why most people who say it doesn't work have done, and obviously it didn't work.

But, if you are like Don and myself and know the right way to do it, then life becomes VERY VERY good.

This Part Is Really Cool

You don't have to go buy an expensive $1,000 program to learn this. Yes you could, and there is nothing wrong with the programs coming out about PPC marketing.

But I have a better option for you.

Earlier this year I met a lady here in Dallas. She showed up at the monthly social get-together I have at my house for all the Dallas Internet Entrepreneurs.

Turns out, she has been doing PPC Campaign management for YEARS. Simple put, she is in the trenches everyday DOING PPC marketing in a lot of different niches. And if she doesn't produce results for her clients she doesn't get paid.

And over the past few years she has cracked the code to Google's Content Network.

In fact, she has become THE go-to person for Google Adwords expert Perry Marshall when it comes to the Content Network. If you are a member of Perry's High-end programs, they you would have heard Shelley.

On top of that, all of the major conferences on PPC marketing invite her to speak. The list goes on.

Then, last month, I had Shelley do a 1-hour training for all of our $2,000 Go Full Time Online workshop attendees on the Content Network. Everybody was furiously taking notes and wanted more.

Afterwards she offered everybody at the workshop 6 weeks of interactive live webinar training… so each of them could get up and running and master the REALLY BIG OPPORTUNITY with Google.

Now, I'm sure you're thinking… 6 weeks of live training from one of the world's leading experts on Google's PPC Content Network would go for at least $1,997.

Fortunately for you… Shelley is most interested in teaching a small group of students how to master this secret side of Google and generate IMPRESSIVE RESULTS. (Then she can package up the whole training program and sell it for $997.)

Instead she offered the entire 6 week live webinar training series for just $197.

Yeah, its way too low, almost too good to be true.

But it is true.

And if you want to tap into the biggest opportunity Google offers for A LOT of traffic… and start generating HUGE email lists and TONS of new customers… then this is for you.

There is no fancy sales letter, or product launch, or a bunch of hype, or 539 bonuses if you sign up now.

Instead, click here and register today for the same $197, and either attend the webinar's live, or go through the recordings of each training at your convenience.

Over half the people at our Go Full Time Online workshop signed up. That means we can fit 35 more people onto the live trainings and you can be one of them when you register today and tap into Google's Secret Side.

-Kevin

P.S. Forgot to mention this… the first session is on Tuesday, June 16th, then once a week for 6 weeks. Every training session will be recorded and made available online in video and audio format so you can review as often as you would like.

The Perfect Eben Pagan Guru Mastermind Bonus

I'm sure you've heard all the talk and emails about Eban Pagan Guru Mastermind program that goes on sale Tuesday, May 19th.

FYI, you can get some excellent free training being given away at the Guru Mastermind site.

And you're probably giving serious consideration to getting the Guru Mastermind Home Study Course (obviously it works, Eben used it to go from $0 to $25 million in a few short years selling dating advice online.)

(Curious Side Note: What you may not know, when he originally came out with the program 1 year ago, I signed up. Yep, I paid for it myself because I knew it was going to be AWESOME training.

I could have got a "comped" deal but I knew if I paid for it I would use it, And yes, it has been awesome training that I refer to and use all the time here at Nitro.)

Would you like the PERFECT Guru Mastermind Bonus?

To thank you for being a Nitro member, and because I believe strongly in the quality and money getting ability of the Guru Mastermind Home Study Course, I'm giving you something really good.

The perfect Guru Mastermind bonus.

When you use this link to get your copy of the Guru Mastermind Home Study Course
http://www.NitroMarketing.com/gurumastermind

I'll give you, literally, the most valuable compliment to the program.

Back in 2008 I held an exclusive $3,000 per person workshop where I shared our Nitro Quattro Formula with a handful of people.

It shows a very precise formula for MAXIMIZING the revenue and profit in an information business. The people we taught it to saw anywhere from a 300% increase to as high as a 1,349% increase in sales. One person went from doing $50,000 a month to doing almost $8 million a year within 9 months… just by implementing the Quattro methods.

You can buy the home study course right now for $997 at the Nitro Quattro site here.

Or, if you use this link to invest in Eben's Guru Mastermind course, I will mail you a copy of our Nitro Quattro as a free bonus.

The Quattro covers CRITICAL tactics that you will not find in Guru Mastermind — that's why you will really want both.

It shows you exactly how to have a monthly subscription (continuity) program, to using high converting 1-click upsells (without upsetting your customers), to generating A LOT of customers FAST using our Special Promotions process, to selling BIG TICKET products to your customers (back-end marketing), to our most cutting edge marketing strategies.

In fact, I taught Eben our unique upsell process that uses a VERY specific type of video. He applied it to the upsells in his $25 million dating niche business and it increased his upsells by 50%… and that was for an upsell that was already VERY effective… the stuff you will receive in Quattro will blow your mind.

  • If you want to generate A LOT of customers quickly, having them pay you 3 to 5 times as much as normal, AND create a residual monthly income… then Quattro combined with the Guru Mastermind course is PERFECT for you.
     
  • If you want access to our proprietary 1-click upsell software that cost over $10,000 to develop… then Quattro is perfect for you.
     
  • If you want to make the most money, with the least effort, then Quattro combined with the Guru Mastermind course is PERFECT for you.

The ENTIRE Nitro Quattro course (that sells for $997) is yours, for free, as a Guru Mastermind bonus when you get it using this link.
http://www.NitroMarketing.com/gurumastermind
 

Here's How To Claim Your Guru Mastermind Bonus

FIRST, go here on Tuesday, May 19th and get your copy of Guru Mastermind before it sells out.
http://www.NitroMarketing.com/gurumastermind

(NOTE: It will probably sell out QUICKLY so if you wait you most likely will miss out.)

SECOND, submit a ticket to our support team with a copy of your receipt and your mailing address so we can mail you a copy of the Nitro Quattro Sales System home study course.
http://www.nitrosupport.com/supportother.html

THIRD, once we verified your purchase with Eben, you will receive an email letting you know your copy of Quattro has been mailed to you.
