Urgent / Confidential

Hello

I believe this letter will meet you in the best of moods today. My name is
Mr. Bellamy Eastwood , Branch Manager of a bank in Europe here. I want
you to cooperate with me in carrying out a deal at our bank branch ,
which will benefit both of us. But this must be kept a top-secret.


The deal is about unclaimed/abandoned funds in our coffers for years now
which I want you to help me move abroad as I will direct you so that we
can share the proceeds 50/50. The amount involved is well over Ј18,500,000.00 (Eighteen
Million Great British Pounds) and was deposited by our customer who died in
a plane crash so many years ago but for which none of his relations have
come forward to claim. Several efforts at reaching his relations via his
country's embassy have always proven abortive. And during our latest
routine annual auditing exercise on Dormant Accounts, I discovered that he
did not specify any next of kin/Will beneficiary in all the records being
held by our bank for his account, and it then occurred to me that I could
actually present someone to pose as his next of kin/Will beneficiary so
that the person can apply for fund release/transfer to his account. I have
decided to do this because it will end eventually in the Sovereign or
Government Account , as the law stipulates for such funds after a
specified number of years must have elapsed.

Our customer Mrs. Walla Abdelfattah died in a plane crash involving United
Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in Southwest Pennsylvania on Oct. 31,
1999. Story has it that she was married but got divorced at some point and
that the said marriage is unfortunately without a child. You can check out
this link

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/11/01/iran/main49778.shtml


All I need from you to perfect this deal is your sincere cooperation and
trust and assurance that you will keep it confidential because of the
nature of the deal...You know what I mean. I can assure you that this
transaction is risk-free because it will be carried out under legal
arrangements that will shield us from any breach of the law. You should
provide me the below details via my personal email address,
antderossi@gala.net, if you are interested:

Your Full Name:-
Your Contact Address:-
Your direct Mobile telephone Number:-


If this e-mail offends your moral values/disposition, do accept my
apologies and ignore it.

Regards,
Bellamy Eastwood

"Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained."

Is Your Customer Too Paralyzed by Worry to Hear Your Message?

What keeps your customer up at night?

When he sits on his bed, one shoe on and staring out the window... what's he thinking about?

When he looks in the mirror, half-shaved... when she dials the doctor... when the mail comes, marked "Urgent"...

What sound buzzes between your prospect's ears, so loud that your sales pitch drowns in the din?

Could it be the un-payable bill... the unruly child... the rosy red zit on the tip of his nose...
or the gray hair she found this morning?

Maybe it's a nagging ache... or last night's awkward date. Maybe it's a car that pings when it shouldn't... or a job in a cubicle that's going nowhere.

Heck, maybe it's all those unreadable road signs dotting the path to total enlightenment.

If you're not sure, maybe it's high time you find out. And today, I hope to show you why...

These secrets have helped his clients attract more than 3 million new customers and rake in more than $1 BILLION in direct mail and Internet sales ... Now, it's YOUR turn to put them to work!

How to Unlock a Worried Mind

While you watch, I'd like to do a deep-think on a copywriting concept called the "problem-solution headline."

This, I'll bet you can gather, is the persuasion technique where you identify a prospect's problem...

then imply you've got a quick and painless way to solve it.

If you study advertising at all, you've seen this at work many, many times.

The ol' classic "Are you ever tongue-tied at a party?" is just one of many blockbuster examples.

It was a hit because it identified an emotionally drenched issue... the fear of knowing what to say in a social situation... and implied, just by the asking, that there's a way to escape that embarrassment.

Another great headline -- "Do you make these mistakes in English?" -- works almost the same way. "Yes," say the grammar-challenged. "I might make some mistakes and I worry about that." And what makes this headline even stronger is that it implies they're probably making more than one mistake. It ups the ante while also implying there's a solution.

Of course, not all problem-solution headlines have to be stated as questions.

"When doctors 'feel rotten' this is what they do" is a rare example where being general about the problem works -- because it's the unidentifiable aspect of simply "feeling rotten" that's at the core of the worry.

What's also brilliant about this one is that it's not only sympathetic -- just "feeling rotten" is a common worry -- but that the doctors who know what you're going through are also the source of the solution.

And all that happens in just nine words.

What are some other great problem-solution headlines that you might recognize?

  • From a famous book club ad: "How often do you hear yourself saying 'No, I haven't read it -- I've been meaning to!"

  • From a parenting-product ad: "Whose fault when children disobey?"

  • From a pre-Prozac era drug ad that broke ground by inventing a name for a condition: "Have you these symptoms of 'nerve exhaustion?'"

  • An old investing ad that might resonate today: "Have you a 'worry' stock?"

  • A classic non-question example that might get your psyche to vibrate: "To people who want to write -- but can't get started"

  • And two more that state, not ask: "Little Leaks That Keep Men Poor" and "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride..."

  • One more bonus example: "For the woman who is older than she looks..."

For all their differences, you'll find that the best problem-solution headlines and leads track pretty much the same formula.

First, you set aside your big benefit. You make this the time to talk about your reader -- and let him or her know you're doing it... by giving a name to the elephant in the room. It could be a big problem. It could be one that's embarrassingly small. The key is that it's deeply felt and emotionally unresolved.

Feel their pain. Let them know it. And let them feel justified for feeling that way, too. Never mock or make light of their worries, unless you're laughing with them at the awkwardness of feeling a certain way -- as a means of drawing the problem out in the open.

Then imply a solution. Either by saying or showing outright that you've got the answer... or by hinting that a solution exists. Even just seeing lots of copy below a "have-this-problem" headline could suggest as much to your reader.

What Else Do You Need to Know About Problem-Solving Headlines?

One reason problem-solution headlines are so effective is that, all too often, people want to make sure their concerns are being heard and are regarded as legit. Only then do they open up to hearing about how to fix things.

Another reason? Humans are just hard-wired to fix stuff. Even problems we don't have ourselves, we want to be the smart guy in the room who knows what to do. At least, that's going to be true of some of the prospects you'll draw in.

Simple as they are, there are lots of secrets to making problem-solution copy work.

Let's start with these...

  • If you identify the prospect's problem with a question-based headline, naturally you're gunning for a "yes" answer or anything else that opens rather than closes the door on a discussion.

  • What works isn't targeting gigantic problems. Rather, you want to aim for the one that's most deeply felt and persistent. Emotional engagement is always the key.

  • The best solution isn't always the biggest, either. Usually, it's the easiest, the cheapest, the fastest, the most widely accepted, the most precious... or some combination of the above.

  • While every problem-solution lead needs to offer answers, you're always keeping something back until after you've made the sale. That might be the name of the solution itself. Or it might be a last or most essential step that you'll reveal for a price. It might even be something you promise never to share, like a secret ingredient or formula.

  • If you claim to have answers, you'll need proof. Some problem-solution ads do that with the "before-and-after" setup you see so often for all kinds of health products. Others do it with testimonials -- either quotes, success anecdotes, or customer profiles. The reason testimonials are so powerful is not just because they show a solution in action, but because they also do the "I feel your pain" work that's special to this kind of lead.

I could say much more.

For now, let's leave it at this:

If you find yourself writing to a prospect who's so focused on his problems that he can't quite hear your promises...

this could be the way out that you're looking for.

Let him know you hear what he's worried about. Give it a name. Justify it. And THEN watch doors open to your solution.

How Much Simpler Can Making Money Get?

Brian Edmondson has developed a surprisingly simple method for boosting your income. "It's so simple," he says, "I call it the 'Couch Potato Formula.'"

This is the same formula that pays Brian's bills. The same formula that's behind ETR. The same formula that's behind Agora, Inc.'s $275 million annual revenues.

Sean Harada says, "I have been trying to build an online business since 2006. Since I started following Brian's formula, I finally did it. Thank you, Brian, for helping me start the path to my Internet career."

Watch over Brian's shoulder as lays out his formula in clear, easy-to-understand terms. Copy exactly what he does. And in just 30 days, you could have a website that throws off $500 a month to $40,627 a week. Get the details right now.

The Language Perfectionist: An Overused Word to Avoid

By Don Hauptman

An online search turned up these specimens:

  • "Decline in fog threatens California's iconic redwood ecosystems"

  • "The 100 Most Iconic TV Show Intros Of All Time"

  • "I'm going to show you how to make an iconic poster using the new Vector Set 18 from Go Media's Arsenal."

Originally, iconic meant "characteristic of an icon" -- an image or representation, often of a saint or other sacred personage. The adjective, perhaps aided by marketers and publicists, evolved into an all-purpose term for making people or things seem more important or desirable.

These days, iconic is used to describe just about anything, even commonplace objects. (Prell is an "iconic shampoo," according to news reports earlier this year.) As the examples above demonstrate, the word has become a tool for exaggeration and is now a cliche. In fact, iconic is often nominated for annual lists of "words that should be banned."

If something truly merits an accolade, consider such synonyms as celebrated, distinctive, famous, inimitable, legendary, original, peerless, and singular.

Fun Footote: Matters become even worse when the speaker or writer can't get the word right. A few months ago, the mayor of Boston praised local athletes whose achievements were "ionic." (Ionic is one of the three orders of ancient Greek architecture.)

It stands for "What's In It For Me?" And it's the "station" our minds are attuned to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365.25 days a year. (Had to take leap year into account.)

I'm talking about the constant patter in your head when you are listening to someone, reading something, watching TV, doing A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G and E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.

It's been said that humans are unpredictable creatures. But you can count on them for one thing with absolute 100% total titanium certainty: WIIFM.

My First Experience With WIIFM

My first experience with WIIFM came when I was seven years old and read Dale Carnegie's classic How to Win Friends and Influence People.

(Yes, I really did read that book at age seven. I saw it on my dad's bookshelf and thought it sounded like a neat title. If you don't believe me, ask my mother.)

Anyway, one of the things Carnegie said in the book was this:

"Remember that the people you are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their wants and problems than they are in you and your problems. A person's toothache means more to that person than a famine in China that kills a million people. A boil on one's neck interests one more than forty earthquakes in Africa. Think of that the next time you start a conversation."

Wow! That blew my little seven-year-old mind. I had no idea people were so selfish.

"Selfish." That was the only word I could think of to describe that behavior. So I made a commitment NOT to talk about myself.

Now I have no idea why I decided to do that. Looking back on it today, of course, the answer is simple: Because I wanted to "feel special." (See? Even that was a WIIFM.)

So I decided to listen to everyone else, never offering my opinion about how I felt or what was important to me.

Needless to say, it made me miserable.

Years later, I finally realized that I was going about it all wrong. It wasn't that I had to stop asking for what I wanted or become some kind of martyr.

I simply needed to find a balance between WIIFM and WIIFT -- What's In It For Me and What's In It For THEM.

People ask me, "Noah, how did you get so many endorsements from the biggest names in the business -- superstars like Stephen Covey, Harvey Mackay, Jack Canfield, Joe Vitale, John Gray, Harv Eker and MaryEllen Tribby?"

Simple: by framing every sentence I utter in terms of What's In It For THEM.

When approaching a colleague, there's only one question I ask:

"How can I be of Value to you?"

Everyone wants to make more money, grow their business, and share their gifts with more people around the world.

If you are the one person in a million who thinks in terms of the OTHER person's benefit, it's going to be awfully hard for them to turn down your request.

On the other hand, if you act like everyone else -- only thinking in terms of your OWN benefit -- it's going to be very EASY to turn you down.

Here are 5 ways you can tune into station WIIFT...

1. Put yourself in their shoes. Really.

Of course, you know what YOU want. But did you take the time to think about what THEY want?

What you want and what they want do not have to be at odds. 99 times out of 100, there's a way for both of you to get what you want -- or something darn close to it.

2. Do your research.

Visit the website of the person or company you want to do business with. See what they're up to. Who are their key players... what are they working on... what's important to them?

You'd be amazed at how many e-mails I get that start with "Dear Sir or Madam..."

Delete.

3. Give honest appreciation.

When I first met Jack Canfield at an awards ceremony back in 1998, the first words out of my mouth were, "Hello, Mr. Canfield. I've been a fan of yours for a long time."

It may sound kind of lame. But I meant it.

I went on to tell him how I'd been seeing him everywhere online. And remember, this was years before most people even had a website!

So he got the message that I was not just another "fan" but someone who had really done his homework. That got his attention.

4. Ask better questions.

I've written about Afformations before in ETR -- empowering questions you ask yourself that help you manifest your desires faster and easier. In addition to Afformations, when you talk with people, ask questions that start with Who, What, Where, Why, When, or How.

These open-ended questions lead to deeper answers than just "yes" or "no." Not only that... you're asking about what's important to THEM, not you!

5. Come up with ways to help others win.

You're looking for that wonderful Win Cubed (Win x Win x Win) situation where everyone wins.

Here are a few things you can do for others to help THEM win:

  • a blog post about the other person

  • a tweet to your followers about how great that person is

  • a Facebook post with a link to the person's site

  • dropping their name in every presentation you do (something I've done for Jack Canfield ever since he "discovered" me)

Once you tune yourself to radio station WIIFT, you'll find that people are much more willing to help you.

Is that something you want to do? Of course it is. Why? Because of WIIFY (You)!

"Wonderful insights and practical advice."

"Dear Michael,

"You are a very wise man. Your article about friendship offered great advice and, more important, a profound understanding of the human being.

"When we are looking for love and approval and have an agenda for how it is meant to be, we can expect mostly failure. A true gift to others is to give without expectations. Then there is the potential for miracles (like the $40,000 check in the mail you mentioned).

"Thank you for all your wonderful insights and the practical advice you give on a regular basis."

Today's Words That Work: Bloviate

To bloviate (BLOH-vee-ate) -- an Americanism -- is to speak aimlessly and at great length in a pompous or boasting manner.

Example (as used by Fiona Mazel in a New York Times review of You Were Wrong by Matthew Sharpe): "Here's a formula I just learned: math teacher (hapless, feckless) plus stepdad (bloviating jackass) plus interloping cabal of unsavory characters equals a pleasingly odd and intelligent novel in the hands of Matthew Sharpe."

Your New Career?

 

Dear ETR Reader -

One of the first things drilled into me by Michael Masterson when I first started working with him nearly four years ago was the importance of good copy.

Copywriting, he said, is the foundation of our business. And he always told me how lucky Early to Rise was to have access to the stream of trained writers coming out of the copywriting program offered by American Writers & Artists Inc.

It's a program Michael himself put together, along with a handful of colleagues.

Thanks to the good work produced by their students, ETR has made millions. And those students have made hundreds of thousands in fees and royalties. And that's just for the work they've done with us.

Today, I'd like to share a letter with you from one of Michael's earliest copywriting protégés. As you'll see, he totally reinvented his career and life by learning how to write copy.

Best Regards,

Jason Holland
Managing Editor

Back in May, we released our China Wholesale Trader program. The response from Early to Risers eager to use the Internet to tap into the power of the import/export market was tremendous.

But we wanted to make sure everybody had the chance to learn exactly how the Internet import/export business works. So today, we're reprinting an article by Marc Charles, the originator of The China Wholesale Trader program, with all the details.

Jason Holland
Managing Editor, Early to Rise


"Business is not financial science. It's about trading: buying and selling."

Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop

The Almost Perfect Business for Entrepreneurs of EVERY Shape and Size
By Marc Charles

China exports over $1 trillion in goods each year. And that makes it one of the great new opportunities of the 21st century for entrepreneurs like you. But you need to understand how the game is played.

Introducing the $6 billion Internet Goldmine...

I'm talking about a website that has become the largest and most successful import/export marketplace in the world. It boasts more than 25 million members in 200 countries. The company has offices in more than 30 cities in China (including Hong Kong), Europe, and the United States. And it was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange last year.

More important, it gets monster traffic from importers and exporters. It is a much more targeted eBay. Essentially, entrepreneurs are connected to manufacturers and wholesalers overseas, mostly in China. You can import (or arrange for the drop-shipping of) thousands of different products for pennies on the dollar and sell them at a huge markup online.

Put the secrets I reveal in DOUBLE YOUR PROFITS in 12 MONTHS OR LESS to work for you tomorrow, and they will double your sales and profits faster than you can say "Holey Moley!"

How do I know? Simple: I've seen it happen over and over again throughout my four decades in direct response.

I have personally used these secrets time and time again to hand my clients tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of new customers. And I have personally used them to multiply the amount of money each customer spends with my clients by up to 1,000% in a month and up to 3,400% in a year!

And, now, it's time to put them to work for you!

Skeptical? I don't blame you…these days, it pays to be.

So, to get the full details…click here...

Here's what the company founder said in a recent interview:

"Our focus is on helping small- and medium-size companies make money.... It has to be 'click and get it.' If I can't get it, then it's rubbish."

How You Can Make Money With This Internet Goldmine

One of the fastest ways to hit the ground running and start making money with this site is to understand which products are already moving quickly. The next step is to determine which aspect of importing and exporting works best for you.

My focus today is on importing products that have the greatest demand and reselling them on the Internet for profits of 100 percent, 200 percent, 300 percent, or more.

The best way to find out which products are in demand is to review the "hot products" section on Google Product Search (under the Shopping tab on Google's home page). There you will see a list of items recently searched for -- and purchased -- by consumers. Other resources for identifying hot products include eBay, Yahoo! Shopping, Amazon.com, Overstock.com, and Newegg.com.

And don't forget our old friend Mr. Walmart. Whatever products you see listed on the main page of Walmart's website are probably selling like hotcakes.

(As you're probably aware, most of the products for sale at Walmart are imported... from China.)

The site I'm introducing you to provides a marketplace for -- and facilitates the buying and selling of -- products like those. You will meet qualified buyers and sellers and reach agreements on pricing, delivery, insurance, and even storage (if necessary).

The profit potential of selling imported products on the Internet is staggering. And when you stick with products that you can move quickly, you don't have to worry about carrying a large inventory and keeping your shelves stocked. (In some cases, you have to purchase them in bulk -- but not always.)

Start out small and grow from there.

There are hundreds of ways (and places) to sell products on the Internet. The easiest (and least expensive) way is on sites like eBay and Amazon.com.

When you sell on these sites, you don't even need your own website. (Most entrepreneurs miss this crucial point.) So don't get all tied up in knots trying to design the "perfect" site before you get started in this business.

All you have to do is list your products on one or all of these online marketplaces. You can customize your listings so they stand out. You can even feature your products on the front page of these high-traffic sites for a small fee.

You can always open an online store once you get going. An online store would enable you to offer hundreds of items on one website. And by including a simple search feature, your customers will be able to find the products they're looking for quickly.

Having an online store may be more involved than just listing your products on eBay and Amazon.com. But don't let the technical aspects scare you away. Opening an online store is super-easy! I opened one on eBay in less than 30 minutes.

Believe me when I tell you that you can do it.

Fast-Start Tip

Go to Google Product Search, Amazon, Yahoo! Shopping, and eBay. Make a list of their top 10 bestselling products. This will give you an idea of the size and scope of this huge market.

Then check out The China Wholesale Trader program to get all the details on the Internet Goldmine and how to start your own import/export business online with very little start-up cash. I also give you tips and tactics for finding and negotiating with manufacturers using this site, marketing your business on the Internet, and much more. Check it out here.

"He drives it in with one blow."

"Clayton Makepeace not only hits the nail on the head in his article 'Advertising, Schmadvertising,' he drives it in with one blow. I've been in the 'advertising' business as a small agency for more than 35 years, fighting the same idiocy he so eloquently writes about. I've been sick to my stomach living with what passes for marketing for the past 20 years.

"Who are these people that sign off on frogs selling beer and so on throughout the corporate world? Apart from the points Clayton makes, these are the same people we taxpayers bailed out because of their inability to run a company. Every time we see such advertising, we should jab ourselves in the ribs as a reminder."

Today's Words That Work: Disconsolate

Disconsolate (dis-KON-suh-lit) -- from the Latin -- means hopelessly unhappy; without consolation or solace.

Example (as used by Cathleen Schine in The Three Weissmanns of Westport): "Now she ordered her meals from every Tribeca restaurant that delivered, answered the door in her nightgown, paid with a credit card, and shuffled back to bed. Her slippers slapped disconsolately against the highly polished wood floors."

Jason wanted you to see this

 

Dear ETR Reader -

When Jenny Thompson, Director of the Health Sciences Institute, previewed this special presentation for a small group, you could have heard a pin drop on velvet.

Her presentation that day... exposing mainstream medicine's most deadly mistake... was intended only as a private screening.

But when I heard it, I asked Jenny if it was safe to share the news with my Early to Rise readers

She agreed immediately. "It's too urgent to keep under wraps," she said.

But this kind of information is a powder keg. And while it's hosted right now on HSI's servers, I'm not sure how long it will be there.

So, for now, Jenny's special presentation is available right here. I encourage you, if you or a loved one is treated by ANY mainstream doctor, to watch it immediately.

Best Regards,

Laura Rodini
COO

"I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone."

Henry Rollins

There's Never Been a More Necessary Time for Business Reinvention
By Dan S. Kennedy

In my 35 years working with business owners, entrepreneurs, and big corporate clients, I've seen many approaches to marketing. Unfortunately, most of them are narrow, limiting, and, well, wrong.

I don't have space, here, for a full discussion of everything marketing is and isn't, should and shouldn't be. But one of its best functions has always been "business reinvention" -- and there's never been a better or more necessary time for that. Of late, the entire U.S. economy has been weighed down with a massive over-supply of look-alike, do-alike, painfully ordinary businesses doing ordinary things in ordinary ways.

Walt Disney defined good marketing as doing what you do so well and so uniquely that people can't resist telling others about you. He started by reinventing the amusement park. His innovations included the single entry/exit design -- forcing visitors to leave through the main shopping area and souvenir stands. (This innovation is now replicated in the exit paths from individual attractions within the Disney parks.) He also initiated the concept of paying by the day vs. buying tickets for rides. And he included park cleanliness as a marketing function, not as a necessary evil cost of operations.

Howard Schultz reinvented the coffee shop as Starbucks. The concept of fractional ownership common for decades in time-share real estate reinvented the private aircraft business, exotic automobile use, even pet ownership. (Yes, people time-share pets!)

Diana Coutu of Diana's Gourmet Pizzeria in Winnipeg doubled her sales thanks to innovations not at all common to pizza places. For example, she established several levels of "membership," with the fees automatically charged to customers' credit cards every month. (This stabilized her income and locked in customers in advance.) She also offered multiple ways for customers to take home her products -- cooked and ready to eat, frozen and ready to heat, from-scratch kits (for "family fun nights"), and raw dough. And she developed a comprehensive direct-to-customers marketing strategy built around a newsletter and website.

Pain-free in 45 seconds

Finally...you can have exclusive access to this secret pain reliever, previously available only to doctors and a few "in-the-know." America's Nutrition Physician, Dr. Allan Spreen has uncovered the truth behind this hidden solution and put together a short presentation that explains exactly how it works and how to get it.

In short, he'll show you how you can be PAIN-FREE in just 45 seconds, guaranteed!

Watch this short presentation here....

And make sure your speakers are turned on.

Don't delay. Once the secret behind this underground solution gets out, it probably won't be long until we'll be forced to take this presentation down. So be sure your speakers are turned on, and go here now.

Nigel Worrel reinvented the business of renting out homes to Florida vacationers with clubs, bundled excursion and adventure activities, and extraordinary marketing. He put the emphasis on the enjoyment of the vacation, not on X number of bedrooms plus a pool for Y dollars a day. And his business is booming, even while most Florida travel destinations cry about the recession.

Chris Hurn, CEO of Kennedy's All-American Barber Club, a new national franchise that I am chief strategic marketing advisor to (and that was given my name) has reinvented the traditional barber shop by combining straight-razor shaves, a men's club atmosphere, and various membership programs as opposed to cafeteria pricing.

(By the way, if you like, you can find out more about the above businesses at: onegreatpizza.ca and dianasgourmetpizzeria.ca, friendsdontletfriendsstayinhotels.com, and KennedysBarberClub.com.)

In all these cases, marketing is not used as a means of getting a customer or making a sale. Instead, it is used in the context of dynamically changing the business itself and delivering an entirely different customer experience.

And with this approach, they are thriving.

Now is the time for you to aim higher with your business. While your competitors are stripping down in a panic-driven stampede to cheap, you can and should elevate your game. Don't think of marketing as separate from service and fulfillment or merely as a means to make sales. Instead, think about your business as a whole -- with every aspect of it working in concert to woo and wow customers.

Here is the hierarchy:

  • When you're at the bottom, you think of yourself as selling commodities -- providing things that people buy because they need them.

  • If you're one step up, you think of yourself as selling things that people want -- products and services that deliver specific benefits.

  • If you're one step up from that, you think of yourself as selling the solutions to your customers' problems and the fulfillment of their unmet desires.

  • And if you're at the top, you think of yourself as selling exceptional experiences.

Anyone in any business can place themselves at the peak of this pyramid.

You begin by questioning every industry norm, tradition, and belief. You must be willing to throw out the ideas and practices now defining the way you market and operate your business.

Then you search for opportunities to make your business something entirely different and more meaningful to your customer than just a provider of goods and services.

The word "meaningful" is key. In my own marketing efforts, I never focus on selling "things." I focus on making my -- or my client's -- business an important and meaningful part of the customer's life.

Very, very, very few business owners are willing to take such a radical approach. We have a term for them: multi-millionaires.

And it's available free to Early to Risers. Just go here to claim your copy.]

Is There a Shortcut to Success?

When it comes to starting your own Internet business, the only REAL shortcut to success is to follow the step-by-step lead of masters who've already "been there, done that." They know where the landmines are. And they know where the buried treasure lies.

When you meet the experts we've brought together for our ETR Perfect Home Business Quick-Start Program, they'll show you both. And after you've gone through this program...

  • You'll know more than 99.9% of all the Internet start-up entrepreneurs out there...

  • You'll have a business that's completely functional -- up, running, and ready to churn out a steady side income...

  • And you'll be prepared for a lifetime of financial success in a way that very few entrepreneurs ever are, online or off.

"Any bets?"'

"Clayton Makepeace's piece, 'Advertising, Schmadvertising," was eye-opening on several levels, and wholly fantastic, brilliant, useful. To drill down deeper on his message, I'll use his checklist the next time I watch TV ads. Any bets on how many frog ads I'll see?"

The Most Powerful Business-Generating Website in the World!

Huge corporations have been taking advantage of China's ridiculously low wholesale prices for years in order to reap huge profits.

They source products from China at super, super cheap prices... then resell those products in North America at a hefty markup...

AND SO CAN YOU!

That's right.

Thanks to the Internet... YOU can do the exact same thing the "big bad corporations" are doing.

All you need is a computer and an Internet connection... and the right guidance... and you can have a shot at the same kind of profits.

And that's what this new system is all about. We call it The China Wholesale Trader.

Today's Words That Work: Corruscate

To corruscate (KOR-uh-skate) -- from the Latin for "to flash/vibrate" -- is to sparkle; to exhibit brilliant technique or style.

Example (as used by Ben Greenman in The New Yorker): "[My] body of work in elementary school included coruscating monographs on raccoons and airplanes and George Washington Carver."
