Learn Internet Marketing Strategies For Your Business

Since you’re reading this today, I can assume that you are a past, or current customer of mine, or an active affiliate, which makes you eligible for a special event I’m hosting this summer.

I’ll be hosting “Bob The Teacher’s Class Reunion” in Northwest Florida in mid to late June. The details are being finalized, but basically…

• if you’d like to hang out at a warm, white sandy beach this summer,
• if you want to pick up a few more profitable internet marketing strategies for your business,
• if you’d like to connect with potential joint venture partners and affiliates,
• if you’d like to get away from your home office cocoon (or that soul-sucking day job) for a couple of days,
• if you’d like a unique seminar experience where you are not pressured to buy something every 90 minutes,
• if you’d like to mastermind your business products and services,
• if you’ve enjoyed learning from me in the past and want to connect in person…

then please show your interest with a comment below!

Tell me what course or coaching program you’ve enjoyed the most, and how it’s improved how you do your business.

Bob

p.s. The official invites will be going out on March 21, but if you comment below, I’ll send you a special link early.

A popular speaker at Internet marketing conferences around the US, Jenkins’ School for Information Marketing Profits – Live Event, or SIMPLE (http://www.SIMPLE10K.com), is designed for service professionals and independent business owners.

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.

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!

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.

At the Niche Affiliate Marketing System internet workshop in Atlanta, David Perdew challenged the attendees to sell a product during the weekend that had been created early on Saturday.

The product is a social media panel discussion, and David and a few volunteers put up the sales page during lunch.

The winner was Rafael Sanchez, from Venezuela, who sold 26 copies.

We held an impromptu interview with Rafael and his wife, to find out how he did it. And now, here’s Lynn Terry from Self Starters Weekly Tips with the story…

Become the next NAMS success story in August!

p.s. Congratulations also to Cindy Brock who came in second!

As you think of how you’ll manage your time and resources for the next year, use this list of the top 5 profit activities to guide you.

1. Build a List

First and foremost you need to be building a list.  You need to be building a list.   Now this doesn’t just mean building a list of contacts.  It doesn’t just mean building an e-mail list in an auto responder.   It means you’re building up a group of people who know who you are, who anticipate hearing from you and are willing and able to follow what you’re doing and take action on what you’re offering.

So it comes in the form of an e-mail list like a service like Aweber.  It also comes in the format of your social networks like Facebook friends or fans or Twitter followers in other resources.  You’ve got to be the person that people want to connect to.  If you’re promoting something anonymously there’s no real way for you to build a list very effectively.  People want to connect with a human being.  They want to get to know you.  They want to get to know your business, your personal life a little bit.  They just want to get to know you so they know they can trust you.

So you’ve got to be focused on building up your list.

With 2009 coming to a close, it’s important to get an idea of what you’ll need in 2010 for your business to stand out, and for your income to be higher and more stable than ever before.

Of course, you may want to forget 2009 as fast as possible. After all, if you came up well short of your expectations, you may want to put the last year in a paper sack and burn it.

But, as they say – those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And being a former history teacher, it’s essential that we pay attention.

So there are 3 things that your business will need. But before I share those with you, let’s learn…

This week seems to be officially “Big Ticket” week – or “how many ways can you be tempted to invest substantially in your business.”

Among others, here are the choices that I know about (in no particular order):

• Alex Mandossian’s Teleseminar Secrets
• Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula 2.3
• Kevin Nations Prospect Seduction Blueprint
• Bob The Teacher’s Online Profit Academy Live Workshop

Obviously, I’ll be a bit biased about the fourth one, but this lesson today is more about deciding if investing in a “big ticket” program is a smart option. Feel free to evaluate the programs above for yourself after you’ve read through my criteria below.

I love surrounding myself with idea people, don’t you? You know the types who have some uncanny ability to process information really fast and come up with an idea that you wish you would have thought of yourself.

For some of my coaching clients, I can be that person. But I also need those people too.

Last weekend, I connected with a few of those people. Specifically, Nancy Marmolejo, Felicia Slattery and Adam Urbanski.

I’ll tell you more about them in a second, but first a teaching point.

Wherever you are in your business, if you start to feel a bit stuck or stale, go to a live event. Although a local meetup or social gathering (holiday parties are coming soon) can suffice, it’s even better when you can get away for a couple of days. Break your routine and force yourself to be in a new scene for a couple of days.

You’ve been hearing me talk a lot about NAMS 3 – the Niche Affiliate Marketing Systems workshop in Atlanta in January that is all the rave right now among internet marketers who value real education at conferences.

I interviewed David Perdew about what makes NAMS3 different, and to explain the benefits of the Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced tracks of the weekend that sets it apart.

At the end of the audio, David surprised me and gave out a coupon code to save $100 off the registration. Make sure you get that before you register.

The presenters David has lined up are incredible teachers, and since the event is a no-pitch event, you get some of our best stuff. Plus the sessions are designed to have us teach you what we know, then give you time to implement it right there on the spot.

While you listen the audio below, here’s an unofficial list of speakers:
