I’ve Found My Muse!

“Your mission is to find the people that believe what you believe and do business with them.”
-Simon Sinek, Start With Why

My goal when starting this blog was to interview online business owners so that I could figure out how to create a muse and start living a location independent lifestyle. A few days ago my goal changed…

So I’m going to do affiliate marketing, but my product will be offering the best customer support ever*^^*

DETAILS, DETAILS
The course, created by Ty Tribble,
one of the top 100 business bloggers
in the world.

This is what he’s done for you…

He’s divided it into three modules.

And the first module is all about setting
up your blog for maximum effectiveness.

Ty starts off with a quick introduction
that’ll put you in the proper mindset.

Then right after that…

He’s going to show you how to get a domain,
set-up hosting, and install WordPress.

And not only that…

He’s going to show you the best themes,
plug-ins, and widgets to use.

And if that’s not enough…

He’s also going to show you how to create
your first blog page and first blog post.

So by the time you’re finished with the
first module…

——————————————
You’ll Have A Blog That’s Up
And Running And Working Perfectly!

——————————————

Now, if you already have a blog set-up
the first module might seem pretty basic.

But Ty swore he would start from the beginning
and not leave anyone behind.

(Besides, I think you’ll learn some stuff that
no one’s ever taken the time to show you before.)

Now, let’s move onto the second module of where
things start getting more advanced.

The second module is all about…

——————————————
Creating Content That Generates
Leads, Sales, And Sign-Ups

——————————————

Even if you’re NOT a writer!

Ty does most of the work for you by revealing a
long list of websites you can use to copy other
people’s content – without them getting upset!

In fact, when you practice this technique the
way he teaches…

There’s a good chance the person who wrote the
article will actually thank you for using it!

Oh, and by the way…

These articles aren’t just any old articles.

——————————————
They’re The Most Popular Ones On The
Internet Related To Your Specific Niche!

——————————————

Think about that for a second.

You’re providing value to your prospects.

You’re getting leads, sales, and sign-ups
WITHOUT having to write much of anything.

And the person who wrote the article is happy
because you’re plugging them on your blog.

It’s a win-win for everyone involved!

But Ty doesn’t stop there.

Because in the second module he’s also going
to show you exactly how to create your own
content just in case you want to.

So by the time you’re finished with the
second module, not only will you have a blog…

——————————————
You’ll Have Killer
Content For It Too!

——————————————

Content that generates leads, sales, sign-ups,
and keeps prospects coming back!

Now let’s talk about the third module.

The third module is all about getting qualified
prospects to visit your blog…

Now that you’ve set it up the right way and have
good content waiting for them!

Ty’s going to show you lots of different ways to
get the best kinds of traffic.

——————————————
Including The Most Up-To-Date Traffic
Generation Methods He’s Using Right Now!

——————————————

This is stuff he hasn’t shared with anyone else
before other than his team and a small number
of coaching clients who pay him $200/hour.

He’s going to openly show you…

His latest SEO strategies.

His latest social media strategies.

His latest social bookmarking strategies.

His latest blog commenting strategies.

His latest forum commenting strategies.

So by the time you’re done with the third module,
not only are you going to have a blog with great
content on it…

——————————————
You’re Going To
Start Having Traffic!

——————————————

Real traffic and dependable traffic.

And better than that, you’re going to know how to
convert that traffic into loyal affiliates and repeat
customers!


Is Affiliate Marketing For You?

Let’s go through the steps that Timothy Ferriss describes for finding your muse.

Income Autopilot I: Finding The Muse

Running a business vs. owning a business
Decide what you want. Do you want to work 10-14 hours a day in your business or do you want to own a business that you check in on every once in a while.

Find a market – define your customers – then find or develop a product for them.
Don’t be that guy that has this great product idea and then has it made and manufactured only to find that there is no demand for it.

Be a member of your target market and don’t speculate what others need or will be willing to buy. A lot of people have made a fortune by solving their own problems and then selling the solution.

1. Which social, industry, and professional groups do you belong to, have you belonged to, or do you understand, whether dentists, engineers, rock climbers, recreational cyclists, car restoration aficionados, dancers, or other?

2. Which of the groups you identified have their own magazines?

People can dislike you–and you often sell more by offending some–but they should never misunderstand you.

Pricing $50-$200

Option 1: Resell a Product
Option 2: License a Product
Option 3: Create a Product

Option 1 is easiest. Option 2 is easy too, and best if you work out a license deal rather than just buying a license that has been sold to thousands of others. Option 3 is easy if you get help:)

The Back Story:

Watching Simon Sinek’s TEDx speech has had a profound effect on me (I think I must have replayed it 10 times over the last couple of months). I really believe his words which I quoted in the beginning about doing business with people that believe what you believe. That’s only part of the story. Over the course of the last week I’ve been back and forth on doing this promotion because after taking all these teaching courses for my Masters degree, I know that one-on-one is the best model. Not to mention, some statistics Kern put up about people not actually using the products that they purchase.

I was drawn to a few videos on excellent companies while reading Gary Vaynerchuck’s Vook CRUSH IT! So, I was looking at videos of Tony Hsieh of Zappos, Oprah, Steve Jobs, and Simon Sinek talking about Southwest Airlines. All these companies had something in common – superior customer service. Gary Vaynerchuck even had an unusually high standard of service. He to touted this idea of “legacy over currency” and what your grand children will read about you. So my goal is simple, now, I will out-serve every person in my niche and work with people that believe what I believe. I believe in running an online business so that you will always be able to go wherever you want whenever you want.

Hey! When you comment on this post, tell me what you liked and what you didn’t like so that I can deliver you better content!

Best MBA Program I’ve Seen – An Interview with Dan Andrews

Not too long ago I stumbled across one of the awesomest websites I’ve see in lifestyle design. (Only awesomeness allowed here:)) So I contacted the author, Dan Andrews, repeatedly for about two weeks until I was able to get him on Skype. What an experience. Dan is my kind of guy. He stands for excellence, the best, and better and nothing else. I love it. (Details are below on the second semester of the Tropical MBA).

Listen to the interview below and you’ll understand what I mean.

Segment 1 (0:13) – What Do You Do and What You Do for Money

>We are changing the meaning of lifestyle business.
>We enable the personal freedom of everyone involved.
Segment 3 (3:37) - The Tropical MBA
>I have a budget to hire people so…let me find an outsource professional.
>People clambered in to apply for the position
Segment 4 (6:40) - I’m about the hustle
>Blogging is fine for some, but I want to get paid.
Segment 5 (8:53) – Me harassing Dan about teaching his stuff.
>Go to the Internet Business Mastery Academy or Smart Passive Income Blog
and leave me alone, okay?
Segment 6 (10:02) - The art of putting your foot in your mouth, or readers buyers?
>(11:38) “the number one problem with bloggers…”

Segment 8 (15:43) – What is your best advice?
>There’s two things that you need to have, and there’s one thing that you need to understand…
>I worked my ass off for this
>(18:37) The work is ultimately more important than your strategic idea of how it’s going work out.
Segment 9 (19:50) – What has your been your most memorable experience out there?
>I’m not telling you…but I’ll paint the picture for you. “I can’t even start to tell you…”

Prepare To Be Inspired

Man some people just inspire the hell out of you! I mean, their stories just make you want to pack all your excuses into a trunk and drop them into a lake. This guy Tellman Knudson’s story just made me go, “What!!! I guess I am lazy…” This guy was born with a condition that caused him to be severely pigeon-toed. And he did something about it.

Kind of like Joseph Pilates. He rejected the fact that his condition would limit him and then worked his tail off until he was in a league of his own. For Tellman, this meant cross-country running. He ran until his legs straightened out. For Pilates it meant overcoming rickets and training every muscle in his body to work together.

Now he’s Something near and dear to my heart. Well he tells his story better than I do:

That’s right he’s raising $100,000,000 dollars for a charity that helps homeless children.

Running clear across America barefoot costs a lot of money apparently, and I only just heard about the adventure because Tellman Knudson happens to be one of the top authorities on list-building, and I am an avid student of marketing. So he created an absolutely, draw-doppingly, awesome offer with a few other marketers to fund his run across the states and raise that $100 mill. for charity.

I couldn’t resist; I just had to snap it up and blog about it to boot, Check It Out:

Dangerously Cool – Rockstar Lifestyle Design Interview


Click Here To See Pictures With The Audio
For about 20 minutes I had the opportunity to grill serial entrepreneur, Greg Rollett on starting out in lifestyle design. What I found out is that he not only talks the talk, but he walks the walk. He’s not only the founder of Rock Star Lifestyle Design, he’s a real social media expert that has done Gen-Y Marketing consulting for for Disney, Coca-cola, and Miller Brewing Company. He’s been interviewed as a personal branding expert on the Orlando evening news for the Employment Guide; he’s created the coolest non-profit that I’ve heard of to help the homeless in his area, Rock for Hunger; he lives to help others succeed: indie musicians and Gen-Y-ers that want to design life on their own terms. I caught up with him at the end of December 2009 just in time to hear about another project of his: the Rockstar Business Series for 20-somethings that want help starting out online.
