Day 41 of my six figure income from home challenge involved another blog post, another e-mail, and some personal training.

I’m working on duplication. There’s nothing like those personal calls to people I have sponsored to ask how they’re doing, give training, and ask them about their goals. My job is to help them achieve their goals. I’m trying to do better at that. As a matter of fact, I only need 4 or 5 players to achieve a six figure income and I’m good!

Today for my 30 minutes to a six figure income I did the following:

1. A little Facebooking. And yes, I got distracted and looked through an old friends photos for a while. Dang that Facebook. There’s a fine line between marketing online and wasting time! But, luckily, I tore myself out of memory lane and…

2. In my Facebooking came across a great, one minute clip of Seth Godin, so I created a simple Blog post out of it.

3. Sent the following letter to my list of prospects. You may wonder why I didn’t try to sell them anything. To get the answer to that, maybe you should check out the one minute video on the blog post

Subject line: Seth Godin’s controversial take on Social Media

Have you heard about Seth Godin? Ultra successful online marketer,
author of Tribes and Linchpin…

If you haven’t, you should. Get a feel for his controversial, but powerful
philosophies in this 1 minute clip (nothing to buy)

Just passing on some great Social Networking mojo!

Enjoy!

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 35 of my six figure income from home challenge.

First of all, payday happened on day 35, and here’s a shot of my weekly income:

$73.85 this week. Up by 12 bucks. So I have plenty of work cut out for me! Or do I? Actually, I don’t think I do. Rather, a six figure income will come from a large group of people doing a little bit, not from me doing a lot. So I’m going to continue to focus on duplication, training, and helping people in their own marketing. If all I do is create a group of people that just recruits one customer per month each, I’ll achieve my six figure income in about 10 months!

Also, I had 2 more signups from the e-mail I sent out. Check some of the recent e-mail marketing training on days 33 and 34. That’s it for today!

Day 33 of my six figure income from home challenge was a training day. Check out the video of this live session. Pick up some great e-mail marketing tidbits, including:

-Subject line ideas
-Formatting your e-mail for highest read rates
-How to lower your unsubscribe rate

And a bunch of other cool stuff for people interested in making six figures from home in their spare time!

I hope I spelled that right. Deux. Two. Right? In French? Wow, High School was so long ago. Anyway, day on Day 32 I didn’t quite feel fulfilled after my blog post and database organizing session, so I sent a blast to my list as well. Here’s the text. I’m not in love with it, but it’s better to be in action than perfecting something in the laboratory!

Subject line: How big is your…

Prospect list? Seriously? Do you know? If not, I have a friendly
suggestion for you. Get more conscious about your list. How
big it is, how well you store it, how easily you can send e-mail
blasts and auto-response messages to it…

Nothing new here, right? But it’s amazing how many people
are serious about building a business, but not serious about
building a list. The challenge is THEY’RE EXACTLY THE SAME
THING!

All your future customers are going to come out of your list!

But if your list is small, or stagnant… your future business is
too!

Of course, I have a solution

Just skip down to the bullets.

There’s one there that I think will REALLY jump out at you…

You may notice that I put a few spaces, then dots at the bottom. The reason i do that is it moves the “unsubscribe” link lower, because some people will click on it by mistake, like it’s a “P.S.” link or something, and then they’re off your list forever!

Day 32 of my six figure income from home strategy involves blog marketing, and database management.

For the blog post, I just did a simple one on a question I get asked a lot about e-mail marketing. You can see the post here.

Otherwise I just spent some time organizing my database, but unfortunately I can’t really make a video of that, as peoples private information shows up! So no video today, but check the blog post, and keep up your own 30 minutes a day challenge!

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 30 of my six figure income online challenge involved the routine stuff, check e-mail, etc. but the main thing I did was send an e-mail to my list. E-mail marketing, with all it’s problems and issues, is still a rock solid method of marketing that you’d have to be silly to ignore! It works!

Here’s a copy of what I wrote. Go ahead and do your R&D (Rob and duplicate!)

[tourtakerfirstname],

I had a great conversation with an “old school” marketer
recently that admitted his organization was shrinking, so
he wanted to make changes, but just didn’t think the
internet was the answer.

Why not? I asked.

“Because it’s a relationship business!” Ouch! What’s the
assumption here? That the internet isn’t about relationships.
(If that’s the case, why is Facebook the second most
visited site in the world?)

As we talked about it more, I said, “What’s the first thing
you ask a new person to do when they sign up?”

“Make a list.”

“And after they’ve contacted everybody on their list, then what?”

“Uh…”

“Let me answer that for you, they quit, right?”

“Right”

“Don’t you realize that the only difference between what
I’m doing and what you’re doing is that me and my team
are building ever increasing lists? We never run out of
prospects!”

The conversation was longer than that, but you get the
idea.

So now I ask you the question, is YOUR list growing
every day? Every week? If not, you owe it to yourself to

And understand, your competitors are using these kinds
of tools, if you aren’t, you are at a serious competitive
disadvantage. The internet is the “elephant in the living
room,” and can’t be ignored.

Day’s 29 was a great day, I rallied the team to a training session by George Fourie, a great marketer from Perth Australia. He really hit it out of the park, BUT I had a glitch when I saved the recording- it disappeared! Argh! (Pronounced Au-r-gg)

Luckily, George is doing a similar training next Monday for somebody and promised to send me a copy of that recording to post to the web. I’ll do that as soon as I get it.

Meantime, had about 65 people on the call, many in my group, so I hope they “got it” and start blogging and branding themselves! If you are new to that whole game, check out this video I created a while ago on personal branding, “10 things you can do right away to brand yourself (or something like that
