Day 36, 37, 38 and 39. Laziness, Coolness, and India.

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Wow! Jim Rohn was right when he talked about “Easy Things.” They’re easy to do, and easy NOT to do! I went three days in a row without making a 30 day to a six figure income video or blog post. Shame on me, time to get back on track! Meantime, here’s what I have done in the last few days:

-Posted to my blog

-Created an RSS feed on http://edgemarketingblog.com for Edge Marketers to be able to automatically post their entries (great backlinks and free exposure!) If you are an edge marketer and would like to participate, simply send your blogs RSS feed to us and we’ll insert it for you!

-Done a couple of one on one training sessions with new team members

-Interviewed Alex McPhie and created a video of his training. He’s one of the most active social marketers in the Edge Marketing System, and shows us exactly how he got a front page Google listing for the term “edge marketing system.” Very cool training.

-Booked a trip to India. I know, it’s totally irrelevant to the 30 Minutes concept. But hey, it’s so cool, and it’s my first time going to India, that I just had to mention it. ;-)

-I realized I have been listening to the radio too much while I drive my car. Not good. What does Brian Tracy call the radio? “Bubble gum for the mind” I think he said. So I grabbed Jim Rohn’s 2004 Leadership Event (24 CD’s) and started listening to it while I drive. Much better!

Day 31: Some “Slight Edge” Magic!

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Day 31 of the six figure income online challenge was another training day. I decided to train on “The Slight Edge,” a philosophy that I wish I made up myself, but I didn’t.

Instead, I completely stole the whole thing from Jeff Olson, who stole it from Jim Rohn, who stole it from Earl Shoaff, who stole it from generations of previous masters all the way back to whoever invented the wheel.

But without further ado, here is the training that, in my humble but correct opinion, could help more online marketers than anything else they are probably learning from some of the “guru’s” out there ;-) Enjoy!

Day 26: The “What will this do for me?” Question

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

On Day 26 of my six figure yearly challenge, I just did some e-mailing, checked Google alerts, and grabbed a bunch of tweet ideas from other Edge Marketers (more on that tomorrow) But for today I want to address this question that I hear all the time:

“What will the Edge Marketing System do for me?”

It’s a strange question. First of all, the website, video and bullets explain it exactly. I don’t think anything is missing. 100 leads a week, auto-responder, database tools, training, friend connect tools, etcetera.

But I don’t think that’s what they’re asking. I think what they are really meaning is, “If I do nothing, what will happen!” And the answer to that is pretty simple: not much. I mean, you could always set the auto-responder to blast out follow up e-mails automatically to all your new leads (which is a really good idea anyway) but the results from e-mail marketing are pretty low.

We do hear plenty of stories of people having some success with that method, but it should really only be treated as a supplement to real marketing.

The question sounds to me kind of like a customer at the Home Depot sales counter, asking: How many houses can I build with these tools? The guy behind the counter will look at them like they’re crazy, yet in network marketing people ask us similarly idiotic questions and expect us to give intelligent answers.

So anyway, just a little philosophy for you today on day 26. Realize that the web, and all the tools available to you, including the Edge Marketing System, make your job SO much easier. But they don’t replace you. All you have to do is use the tools to spread your message. If you don’t, you won’t get much result. If you do, you can get results all over the world, and for years to come, from everything that you do!

To your success!
