Learn Internet Marketing Strategies For Your Business

So I’m patiently waiting for my SIMPLE home study course to be completed based on the live event I held 2 weeks ago. Over the next 6 weeks, the audio, video, transcripts, and bonus 30 day implementation program will be compiled and ready for release. I’m shooting for my birthday (April 26) for the program to be available.

To tell you the truth, I’m very excited about it, but it’s a daunting task bringing all the pieces together!

In the meantime, I’d like to teach a virtual workshop to help you with your business even before the SIMPLE home study course is ready. I’ve narrowed down the areas I would personally enjoy teaching this time of year to 3, and I need your help to pick which one to actually do.

So please take a quick moment to rank these 3 potential virtual workshops as it would fit what you need right now.

Are you within driving distance to Wilmington, North Carolina? The global Twestival event has it’s Wilmington edition March 25, from 5:30- 10:00 p.m. downtown.

And I’ve just become a Platinum Sponsor of the event to support Concern Worldwide – a charity focused on improving education opportunities in areas that desperately need support.

Last year’s Twestival was a lot of fun – a great opportunity to get Twitter friends together IRL (in real life), and go beyond the avatars. This year should be even better, and with a venue like the River Room overlooking the Cape Fear you can’t go wrong.

Tickets are just $20, and all proceeds go to the charity. If you have a business in the Wilmington area, you may consider one of the different sponsorship levels as well.

Check out the details at the Wilmington Twestival homepage.

Hope to see you there!

p.s. Twestival comes from Twitter + Festival. Last year’s event helped over 17,000 people get clean drinking water. This year, it’s all about

We’re just a few days away from SIMPLE – the School for Information Marketing Profits – Live Event. I know it’s a weird title, but I’m a weird teacher.

In any case, if you’re coming to Wilmington next week, I thought it would be cool for you to share your excitement with the others reading this. And also get a chance to let those that will be here have an idea of what you’re about, what you’re looking for at the event, etc.

So please post a comment below and answer as much of these questions as you’d like to:

1. Your name, where you are traveling from, your primary website, and Twitter ID if you have one
2. What has been your favorite training course or learning result from working with me in the past?
3. What are your primary goals while you’re at SIMPLE?
4. If this is your first event, what are you nervous about?
5. Anything else you’d like others to know before they meet you in person?

Of course, when you’re here, you’ll have a nametag and plenty of time to get to know each other. And since the event is designed to be small (about 60 people total), you won’t feel lost in a huge crowd.

See you in a few days!

Bob Jenkins

p.s. If you’re not on the list yet, you may still be able to get one of those last tickets. See if any are left at SIMPLE10K.com.

If you’re like most entrepreneurs, you likely spend as much if not more time with your business as you do with your actual Valentine.

The question to ask yourself is with all the love and devotion you give to your business, is it returning the feelings back?  Or is does it seem like a one-way street?

How can you improve that relationship?

Well, for one thing, you can’t go cheating on your business.

My favorite domestic movie of all time is Better Off Dead. My brother and I can pretty much quote the entire film from start to finish.

At the core of the film is high school student Lane Meyer trying to win back his girlfriend who dumped him for the captain of the ski team. The race is down the steepest slopes of the K-12, a treacherous slope “in the state of Northern California”.

Not included in the film was this clip, which has recently surfaced from the master reels. I never knew that THIS was the real reason why my brother loves the film so much.

Enjoy!

Bob

p.s. Be sure to catch the Fishbowl training I’m doing with Jim over at the IM Success Library.

This video you’re about to watch rocks!

One of the faculty members at SIMPLE is Lon Naylor, from ScreenCastProfit.com. He just made this video today to demonstrate his mad skills with Camtasia and Sony Vegas. He was inspired by the Google Super Bowl ad that aired during the Saints win against the Colts.

Enjoy!

Press play

Although we can’t promise you’ll turn into a video genius just by attending SIMPLE, Lon will be breaking down how he puts these videos together and how you can profit from screencast videos as an affiliate marketer and as a product creator – 2 of the essential pieces of the SIMPLE profit formula.

p.s. Lon will be at SIMPLE the whole weekend, too. Like all the speakers and VIPs I invited to this event, he’s even better in person!

We’re a few days away from SIMPLE, and for many of the people coming, it will be their very first event. I’m honored and privileged to host that experience for them.

And it reminds me of my very first event I ever attended.

What a jump start that was for my business! But I almost didn’t go.

I was still working full time then. It wasn’t easy to take off work. In all ten years in the classroom I missed a total of 11 days!

But something in my gut told me that I needed to get there. I had been trying to get going with my internet marketing business and was slowly gaining traction. This was in September of 2006. I had invested about $3000 in mentoring at that point; another $4000 in wasted Adwords; and lots of little expenses on ebooks and gizmos that added up to a lot, especially on my teaching salary.

Fortunately, the event – The Internet Marketing Main Event II – was in Baltimore. Literally 15 minutes from my house. If it wasn’t so close, I would have let any number of excuses get in my way for going.

Boy would that have been a tragic mistake!

Over at IM Success Library, I’ve started coaching my brother through the start up phases of his new website, RestaurantManagerSecrets.com.

So that you can learn along with him, and see the exact strategic and tactical advice is the same for you as it is for my brother, you can eavesdrop through the process. This is called “Fishbowl Coaching”, where I coach & teach him, but you get to watch along the way.

Here’s a segment of the first session we did earlier in the week. The entire first session was based on getting a game plan together for the 3-phases of the SIMPLE formula, and focusing on phase 1, which is connecting to an appropriate affiliate product.

But before we get to the product, it was important to do a few things on the back side of his website.

Take a look!

And if you’d like to learn from the rest of Session 1, and be part of the next 2 sessions, jump over to the IMSL Case Study page.

I bet you didn’t know that I used to have a thriving acting career!

It’s true – back in elementary school :)

Seriously, in 4th grade, I was the Wizard of Oz (and the corresponding traveling carnival guy). Funny looking back on that now how that role taught me a business lesson years later.

In the play, I got to say the infamous line, “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.” Dorothy and her entourage have traveled down the Yellow Brick Road seeking the one thing they want the most (to go home, a heart, a brain, courage). And they believe that the Wizard and all his wizardry can provide it.

The truth that’s revealed is each of them already had what they were looking for inside. They just needed someone outside who could point the way for them. Somebody who could see what they couldn’t because of something else getting in the way.

The Wizard appears to be magical, but when the curtain is drawn (by Toto, remember?), there are simple mechanics at work.
