Dear Prospective Coaching Student:
I've been looking forward to this day
for a long time now.
You see, I've been involved in internet
marketing since late 1999.
But I just dabbled in it.
Played around with it.
And for the first three years, I didn't
make a single penny!
It wasn't until my mentor took me under
his wing that everything changed.
I've never told this story publically
before...
In late 2002, I was reading a newsletter
from Allan Gardyne (one of the quiet, unsung heroes and
pioneers of making money online).
He was introducing a new affiliate program
and gave details for contacting the affiliate manager for
the company.
On a whim, I decided to do so.
At the time, I'd built a site promoting
my resume writing services. The affiliate manager - Mark
- must have liked something he saw in me, or that site,
and he offered me an amazing opportunity.
In January 2003, I began writing content
for a series of SBI (Site Built It!) sites that pointed
back to the corporate site.
He taught me how to pre-sell.
Where to place my links within the text.
How to write for the search engines.
How to write articles.
Where to distribute them for backlinks
and traffic.
In short, he helped me build a foundation
upon which I used to leave full-time employment 18 months
later.
My Mentor Was The Difference Between
Success And Failure
Simply put, there is NO
way that I would be where I am today without his help.
Since 2005, I've been looking for the
right time and opportunity to "pay it forward" and give
to others what he gave to me.
That day has finally come.
I am going to work with a select group
of people.
People who were once like me - hungry,
but struggling to put it all together.
As much as I want to help every single
person out there, the constraints of time simply won't allow
it.
So at this time, I am only taking
10 people
under my wing.
You'll soon see why I cannot take on any
more at once.
UPDATE:
As I anticipated, 24 hours
have passed, and 5 of the spots are GONE. Don't miss
this opportunity to get direct help in building your
successful business.
Why Most Coaching Programs Aren't Worth
Your Time Or Money
As time went by, I wanted to learn how
other people ran their mentoring programs, so I signed up
for a few.
It was then that I ran into the first
problem.
1. They were all prohibitively
expensive!!
The cheapest one was $500 a month! Another
was $600/month, and the final one was $1,000/month.
I was fortunate that my online income
allowed me to pay those kinds of fees.
And it would have been worth it, if I'd
truly had my mentor's ear and been able to comminicate with
him on a regular basis.
That exposed the second problem with
most 1-on-1 coaching programs.
2. The mentor makes himself almost
completely inaccessible!!
The $1,000/month program was the worst.
No phone contact at all.
You were only allowed to send one email
per day, and he only answered on Monday's through Thursday's.
If you have a question on Thursday at
noon. The soonest you could expect an answer was Monday
(and even then, it was usually dragged out until Tuesday).
On top of that, this "mentor's" style
was to berate and belittle anything you did or
any idea you might have.
It was his way or the highway. You input
was NOT welcome.
Oddly enough, the best of the three was
also the cheapest - the $500/month one.
But it still included no phone or
IM contact, and emails were answered the following
day - Monday through Friday.
3. All of these mentors could
only teach you ONE way - their way!
Now, there really is nothing wrong with
that - as long as what you wanted to do fit their specific
method to a "T".
But if your plans didn't fit perfectly
within their pre-defined "box", they would not move out
of their limited boundaries to help you.
How Is My Coaching Program Different?
I learned a great deal from these experiences.
Most of all, I learned exactly how I
did NOT want to run my own program.
So I waited until I had the opportunity
to do it MY way.
So what is my way?
Let me lay it out for you.
1. You will have more access to me than my wife
does! (Okay, not quite, but close.)
When you sign up, we will arrange a time
to speak on the phone.
We'll talk for up to one hour.
During that hour, you can tell me what
ideas and goals you have for your business, and I will begin
to create a blueprint that you can follow to achieve your
goals.
After that, we will check in
via phone once per week,
for 15-30 minutes. In that time, I'll check on your progress,
answer any questions you might have, and make small adjustments
to your blueprint as necessary.
You will also have access to
me via Skype. If something comes up between phone
calls, and you see me online, shoot me the question and
I'll answer it immediately.
Finally, you will be able to reach me
via email 6-7 days a week. If I'm around,
even if it's Sunday at midnight,
and your email comes over, I will answer it.
I'm online 6.5 days a week, 9-14 hours
a day. You will have access to me 90% of that time.
Your emails will be answered in
minutes to hours, instead of days.
I won't hide from you or make you feel
like you are on the bottom of my priority list. In fact,
you will be first on my list 90+% of the time.
I am here to serve you, and to help you
make your business a resounding success. Nothing in life
makes me happier than helping someone else succeed.
Now do you see why I can
only take 10 people?
Even that is pushing it a bit.
But I want to help as many people as
I can.
2. I won't force you into using "my" system.
I've been blessed to earn money online
in a number of different ways.
If you haven't seen it on the main sales
page, here is the video I created showing some of my different
revenue sources over the years...
I know a number of different ways to
be successful. If you don't wish to follow the Article Bully
system, that's not a problem.
Let me know what you want to do.
Odds are I've done it and we can build
a blueprint that works for YOU, instead
of me trying to force one single system upon you.
3. I won't break your bank!!
Finally, there is the aspect of cost.
While there's no denying that time is
money. It quickly became obvious that mentoring was
nothing more than a "cash grab"
for these marketers.
And let's face it, how many of you can
afford to throw $500/month at some guy who can barely
be bothered to respond to you?
While I value my time, and the cost has
to be placed at a point that makes people commit to making
this work, it doesn't have to be anywhere near that high.
So mine won't be.
I am giving you 10 times the
access to me that anyone else is willing to give...
...at less than half the price.
My coaching program will be priced at
$247/month.
