Ask Bob The Teacher

As a teacher, I’ve always enjoyed watching the results of my students. In fact, that’s where the real rewards come in: the smiles on the faces, the light ignited in the eyes, the thank yous (when they come in, sometimes years later).

This week, I’ve been able to sit back and watch my Teleseminar Formula Workshop students achieve their goals: to hold their very first teleseminar. A few have done some in the past, but for a vast majority the calls they did this week served as their initiation into the world of teleseminars.

To prepare for these teleseminars, each student

Those bonuses will be included for anyone who purchases before I post them.

So if you heard about this call, and wanted to listen, now is your chance.

p.s. Listening to just 20 minutes of this call may give you the killer idea you need to excel in 2008.

The fastest way to get more people to know who you are is to use viral marketing.

Does this mean you’ll catch a disease? Of course not.

Viral marketing simply means that the message you want to tell spreads like a virus. What if the number of people connected to you doubles every week? You start out with 3 people, which becomes 6, then 12, 24, 48, 96, 192, 384… etc.

So how do you take advantage of viral marketing? Well, you need something remarkable (thanks Seth Godin!), that people are willing to pass around.

In September, I spoke about viral marketing at the World Internet Main Event in San Francisco.

Those in attendance were there to listen to Tim Brocklehurst and me explain how viral marketing works, and more specifically, how using…

This week and next are severely crowded. You are likely to see big name marketers promote up to 8 different things over these two weeks, and it’s extremely difficult to make sense of it all.

So you have three choices…

• Ignore them all and stick to what you are already trying to accomplish (if you have bought anything in the last two weeks, this is the best thing to do).
• Pick one of the new products and turn down everything else, and tune out any other product until you finish digesting and tearing through what you buy this week or next (if you are ready for something new to help you, then this is the best thing to do).
• Pick more than one of the products, spend a lot of money, and get none of them done because it’s too hard to focus (try not to pick this one!).

So let me share with you the

One of the fastest routes to expert status in your field is through hosting your own teleseminars.

In today’s extended lesson, let me share with you what you need to consider if you want to use this powerful method of marketing.

First, let me tell you what you don’t need.

You don’t need an established track record, you don’t need a website (although it does help), and you don’t need to be a world-class speaker.

You do however need to have…

1. A purpose for holding a call
2. A phone conference service
3. An audience

Let me break down each one of those, and then introduce you to the master of teleseminars.

Purpose: Give Them Something To Show Up For

First, you need a purpose for the call. If people are going to show up, they need to know why they are coming. So be prepared to deliver a call with direction.

As a listener, nothing is worse than feeling like you have wasted 30 minutes to an hour and a half, while some bloke rambled on and on with no purpose.

So have a

Do you like learning?  Do you find it hard to figure out who to listen to? 

When you find people you can trust with providing the right knowledge and training, hang on to their every word.

I learned a long time ago to pay attention to what Matthew Glanfield has to say.  And one of his proteges (now marketing in his own spotlight) is Todd Gross.  Over the last 6 months especially, Todd has become yet another person I follow quite a bit for his creative marketing strategies and insights.  

The two are very different. 

Matthew is a recent graduate, mid-twenties super tall guy with a lot of technical know-how.  Todd is slightly passed the mid-twenties, not so tall guy more known in the “real world” as the weatherman in The Perfect Storm (not the actor — but the guy portrayed in the movie).  Matthew began his internet marketing business early in his career - while he was still in college.  Todd took a much more circuitous route before discovering online marketing.

But both are similar, too.  Matthew won an international business award for marketing.   Todd won Emmys for his meteorological prowess. 

The most important similarity between them though is they know internet marketing and they are excited about sharing what they know.

They are also two people who constantly over-deliver in their services.

What does this have to do with you?

Well, the two have partnered up yet again for a new edition of what they call 30 Day Formula. (www.30DayFormula2.com).

And this time, you get to participate live. 

They are putting together a virtual seminar, where you get to learn from some of the top experts in online marketing today from the comfort of your own home.

Seminars are a great way for you to be introduced to a good number of experts without having to pay for their big ticket programs.  That way, you can narrow down the “gurus” to just the ones who make the most sense to you. 

But instead of shelling out for a plane ticket, hotel, food, etc., for a seminar, you’ll attend from your house (in your PJs if you like - I won’t tell!).

And the price?  Well, they haven’t told me that yet, but I can guarantee it won’t be $1000 or more like the seminars I’ve been to.  (I can bet it will be even less than half that….)

Check out the details at 30DayFormula2.com, and when Todd and Matthew release the schedule of speakers, you’ll be the first to know.

Bob Jenkins

p.s. The cast of experts has not been released yet, but I can tell you that I will be one of them.  I’ll have some brand new material I’ll be teaching on December 3 — you won’t want to miss it!  Go to 30DayFormula2.com and join the VIP list.

Ahh, the fun of moving.

For most of my life, I’ve learned to really resent moving. When I was a kid, we moved way too many times for my taste. In the end it’s all been good (builds character). Great people to meet throughout a lot of experiences. But the process has always been stressful, and until now, out of my hands.

This week, I get to move again. But for the first time, it’s completely by my own choice (with a lot of help from Joanna of course).

By the way, would you like to know how we picked North Carolina?

HGTV.

Seriously.

About two years ago, they did a House Hunters on Wilmington. Joanna was watching and over the next 15 months we noticed how often Wilmington kept popping up. She kept dropping hints about how nice it would be to live near the coast (her allergies in Maryland were terrible). After visiting my cousin here last summer, she had me hooked.

So thanks to Joanna’s scouting (and Suzanne Whang, of course), now we’re here, just days away from moving in.

That’s where you come in.

Normally when you move, you call on your friends to help you shlep couches and mattresses and all those books. But since we’re brand new to the area, that’s not much of an option for us. In fact, we’d ask our neighbors, but two of the houses are still flat dirt, and the other two are waiting for buyers (contact Justin King and the Alex Paen Team at Coldwell Banker SeaCoast Realty for Wilmington or Leland Real Estate… :) ).

So we have movers coming to deliver all of our stuff on Friday morning. And finally, Friday night, we get to stay in our brand new place.

There’s just one little problem. The movers expect to get paid. The reason that is a problem is that on Thursday, my down payment is due, knocking my regular bank account way too low. In addition to the moving and packing, I have to pay them for storage for about a month. All total, I’ll be paying them over $5000.

Use a credit card, you say?

That’s the bigger problem. I can’t find any of my credit cards.

Thanks to money-managing lessons from Donna Fox (the Credit Millionaire expert), I’ve stopped using my cards several months ago, and paid them down to under 50% of the credit line. I’m very proud of this as I racked up a lot of debt as a high school teacher over ten years.

So while I’ve been very disciplined not to use the cards, I’ve come to realize this past weekend that I don’t actually know where the cards are. With the hit from the down payment, I have to use one on Friday. But they could be in any one of 73 boxes.

What’s an internet marketer to do?

Well, thanks to Jeff Walker’s teachings I’ve been studying, I’m supposed to give you a lot of great stuff that you normally wouldn’t be able to get for a really low price. This is a very rare circumstance — and it calls for a very rare firesale.

Normally, a firesale is a group of 25 or more resell rights packages that seem to be a) oversold, and b) too much to concentrate on.

You deserve better than rehashed stuff — and I certainly don’t want you to buy something from me, then go on eBay and see that it’s being sold for $1.

So yesterday, I went through all of the recordings I’ve done over the last year. I then tossed aside the files that had already been sold a lot, and certainly anything that’s been given away for free was out of the question.

This had to be a true, killer value for you so that there was no doubt in your mind that you get 5X (or more) of the real value of what I’m offering.

Since writing to you with this blog, I’ve noticed some common questions that keep coming up. These questions led to me picking out the very best audio and video training that I’ve done that would help you at various stages of your business.

I concentrated on these major areas:

• Getting Started - Business Building Foundations
• Online Profits From Your Offline Experience
• Using Forums For Building Your Reputation
• Creating Squidoo Lenses For Credibility And Traffic
• Registering Domain Names Strategically
• Creating Killer Squeeze Pages
• Generating More Traffic And Customer Loyalty
• Installing PHP/MySQL Scripts
• Using Video In Your Marketing

These areas seem to be the biggest targets of the questions I get on my blog, and I’m sure that at least 3 or more of these areas are concerns for you right now.

If you help me pay the movers, you’ll get my best training in these areas for less than 25% of their total value.

Nothing in this sale is an eBook or PDF — they are all audio or video sessions.

They are also not pieces of the sessions, but the complete recordings. All the audios are between 60-120 minutes, and the videos are 12-45 minutes in length.

In addition to learning from me, over half of these recordings are between me and another marketing expert — including Matthew Glanfield, Todd Gross, Glen Hopkins, Martin Salter, and Scott Tousignant.

So - can you help me pay the movers while learning important marketing lessons?

Check out the complete details of what you can get, and help me make sure that Joanna and I don’t have to sleep on the floor.

Please realize this is a very rare opportunity to get what amounts to a complete course of study from me for under $100. To make it a little more interesting, I’ve set the price to raise $10 every time 20 sales have been made. If you’re quick enough, you can still get it all for under $50. This is one way I can help you as a dedicated reader of this blog — you’re more likely to have found this earlier than the rest.

After buying and helping us out, I’d love to hear which of the audio and video presentations is your favorite. Post a comment below, and tell me what ideas came to mind as you listened or watched…

Thanks again!

p.s. About half of these recordings have only been available for top-level members at some of my sites (paying $97 up to $497). But a few have never been released to the public before, because I simply haven’t had time to complete the rest of the sites. Help us pay the movers, and be the first to listen to some great training.
