Easy Video Player / Elite Marketing Foundation
Recently I formed a new business with my long time friend, Josh Bartlett. We are in the process of creating a membership called The Elite Marketing Foundation. There’s already a lot of buzz going around the industry about this because we have several big name marketers lined up to take part and help create content. This is going to be a pretty ground-breaking program. Josh and I share the same business philosophies and ethics and we are going to aim to teach the fact that you can be a hugely successful marketer and be ethical at the same time. To teach this, we are going to be implementing some brand new technology that tracks progress, awards achievements, and continually encourages action. It will be set up in a way that pretty much guarantees that any person who takes action and follows through will succeed.

Anyway, before the Elite Marketing Foundation is officially released, I teamed up with Josh to help him make his launch of Easy Video Player as huge as possible. The new version of EVP has so many new features that I’m not even going to begin to explain them all. There’s just too many to list. Easy Video Player will be officially released on October 19th and anyone who grabs it will get a first look in to the Elite Marketing Foundation. That will be our official unveiling.

Why am I telling you all this? Well first off, I want you to be as excited about the Elite Marketing Foundation and Easy Video Player as I am and second off, I would love to see you help promote Easy Video Player. I won’t go in to detail here about how much money it can make you or how cool all the new features are… If you are interested in helping out check out this page that explains everything.

Autopilot Cash Formula is Closing For Good
Most of you have already grabbed the Autopilot Cash Formula and all of the kind feedback has been amazing. However, October 8th will be the last day that this program will be available. I am shutting the doors for good and I don’t think I will ever reopen them.

I know you’re probably thinking that this is some sort of scarcity tactic but it’s really not. I have decided that I am going to simplify my business. From this point on, I will have two flagship products. I am going to continue to focus on The WordPress Classroom (The program that started it all for me) and the Elite Marketing Foundation (my new joint venture with Josh). So in order to simplify, I’m going to lower the price a little and then leave sales open for the next week or so before closing it down for good.

Now… That basically concludes the announcement portion of this post. Now to the things that I need your opinion on

Do you care about my health?
About 3 1/2 weeks ago I discovered an online health program. I’m not going to mention the name of the product right now but it was being promoted by some really big name marketers. My health has been something that I’ve let slip over the past year or so since I quit my job. I stopped working out and I ate crap food constantly. Not unexpectedly, I packed on some pounds…

I found this product and decided, “yea… I’m going to start eating healthy again and I’m going to follow this exercise regimen. I’ve stuck with this consistently for around 3 1/2 weeks now and I’ve already noticed some great results. My friends and family think I’m crazy because I’ve sacrificed a lot of delicious foods and I’ve never missed a day working out.

I recently came to the conclusion that maintaining your health is almost identical to building and maintaining a successful online business. The same philosophies apply. It is all about discipline. If you have the discipline to do exactly what you know you need to do every single day, you will reach your goals. Don’t get sidetracked and always keep your eyes on the end goal and you will see results. Discipline is the key to success in anything you do. I can say with almost 100% certainty that most people who haven’t made it online, haven’t made it because they haven’t maintained the proper discipline to do everything that they know they should be doing every single day…

Anyway, before I go off on a rant here… My question to you is, do you care or would you be interested in hearing about my successes and struggles with fitness and becoming as healthy as I can be? I know you probably think that it has little to do with blogging or marketing but I tend think differently. I think it all ties together. I may even share the exact program I’m on now and possibly (scary) before & after photos.

I’d love to hear your opinions on the idea.

How often should a blogger post?
This is a strange question for me to ask because well… I run the WordPress Classroom. However, this is something that I’ve really struggled with. I have lots of great ideas for blog posts but I’m afraid to post too frequently.

On one hand, I can post constantly. I probably have enough ideas to make one post per day. However, if I do that, I’m afraid people will get overwhelmed. I won’t have as big of an audience per post. On the other hand, if I only post about once per month, I get a ton of comments and a ton of feedback on every single post. Everything I do gets a ton of exposure, however, I’m not sharing as much content as I would like to. It’s been a tough internal debate.

I would love to hear your feedback on how often someone should post. How often would you want to hear from me? Once per month, once per week, a few times per week? What do you think? Let’s get a discussion going about this specific topic because I really think that this is a common struggle.

If you want to hear from me a few times per week on this blog, just let me know. I just want to make sure you’ll keep coming back and reading what I have to say and leaving awesome comments. If you can promise me that, I’ll make sure to share with you more often and provide as much value as possible.

Do you want to meet up?
Last but not least, I just wanted to mention that I’m going to be hitting a couple seminars in November. If you want to meet up and talk business, let me know. Leave comments if you are going to be at either of these events.

I’ll be at the info-summit in Baltimore between November 11th and November 14th and I will be at AffiliateDotCom Live in Las Vegas between November 19th and November 21st. If you’re interested in meeting up and talking biz, just let me know. We can definitely work something out.

Quick Little Poll
Can you do me a huge favor and answer these questions in a comment below?
1) Would you be interested in hearing more about my journey to get healthy?
2) How often would you want to hear from me on this blog?
3) Will you be at info-summit or AffiliateDotCom Live?

Thanks so much and I can’t wait to read your comments. I will do my best to respond to everyone who posts!

Basically, if you haven’t heard, the Autopilot Cash Formula is the exact business model that I’ve used to build my business in to five figures per month. I’ve done it in such a short amount of time too… Honestly… Go back to the early posts on my blog and read what I was writing about. Read the early goals that I had set for myself. I was striving to reach 2,000 subscribers and $100 per day. Here I am, nine months later, and I’ve crushed every goal that I’ve set for myself and I’m launching a product that teaches people how to do it.

I am extremely overwhelmed and overjoyed with all of the support that I’ve received over the months. I have the most amazing readers/partners/friends!

Look back through my blog and look at the last screenshot I took from my mailing list… Here’s the latest screenshot:

I’ve gone quite a long way! Thanks so much for the continued support. I will always do my best to try to overdeliver. I don’t believe in hype and I don’t believe in the B.S. exaggerated claims. You will never ever find me doing that!

You guys are amazing. I hope this anxious, nervous, excited feeling in my stomach goes away soon so I can enjoy this launch day!

Thanks again. You are all amazing!

I wanted to give an update about my launch.

As most of you already know, I’m doing my first major launch with my Autopilot Cash Formula. I did launch The WordPress Classroom last year. But that was on a very small scale compared to this.

What I’ve learned so far… Trying to do a major launch is not easy at all. It requires many sleepless nights, lots of conversations with lots of people I don’t know, and flat out working my butt off to make sure things are going to flow smoothly come launch day.

As I get deeper and deeper in to this, I realize that there are a lot of little aspects that I never even thought about coming in to this. There’s so many little tiny details that can so easily be overlooked that could be the difference between a successful launch and a flop. I’m still hoping that I’m not missing any of these points. I don’t know if I can even know until launch day is here.

If you saw my whiteboard right now, I have a massive list of things that I still need to get done between now and this Thursday (The start of prelaunch for my product). Once I clear that list, a new list goes up of all the things that must be completed before launch date on the 15th.

It’s definitely very hectic. I’m running on very little sleep these days because I’m testing and tweaking every little aspect of this launch. I’m responding to every e-mail from every potential affiliate to make sure this launch will be just as successful for them as I hope it’s going to be for me. I’m pulling my hair out staring at html and php code, trying to fix minor bugs and issues.

To be 100% honest… I would not have it any other way!

It’s funny because internet marketers (at least the circle that I run in) are some of the only people I know that will work 80 hours per week to get their business set up so that they can “quit their day job”. Sure, I know methods where I can spend 20 minutes per day and make enough money to not have to work another job. But I love this stuff so much and I am so driven and passionate about growing my business that I obsess over this and spend 75% percent of the time that I’m awake at my computer trying to build upon what I’ve already created.

Yes, The Autopilot Cash Formula will teach you how I’ve made thousands per month with 20 minutes per day. I’m not exaggerating there. But I believe that the people that are truly going to make it far in this business, and that will really rise above the rest, are the people that are happy with the money they can make in 20 minutes per day but are not satisfied stopping there.

I honestly do have days where I spend 20 minutes working and then head out to go snowboarding. I have had days where I’ve gone to the beach with a laptop, finished my work quickly, and spent the rest of the day playing. I want everyone to be able to enjoy that lifestyle.

True internet marketers… The ones that really succeed, however, are the ones that spend 10 hours per day working on their business. Not because they have to, but because they want to.  I absolutely love what I do and sometimes wish there were more hours in the day that I could spend working on building my business.

Anyway, I kind of went off on a tangent there… (It IS almost 2 in the morning here)

My launch looks to be destined for success. I’m not one to count my chickens before they hatch (I think that’s the term) but I am definitely optimistic.

I’m approaching 500 affiliates on board to help me promote this, including a lot of BIG names. I’ve got some of the “gurus” on board to really back me on this.

I hired one of the best copywriters in the business to make sure my sales copy gets people as excited about the product as I am.

I have some of the best prelaunch content I could possibly come up with. Products that I have sold in the past, I’m just giving away to get people excited about the product. I’m basically giving people the first few steps in the process for free just to get them excited about what’s in store.

I’ve been interviewed by several people so that my name is out there and my credibility is growing. (I still have room for a couple more interviews if anyone is interested)

Now I’m in a mode where I’m just doing whatever I can to help affiliates out. I’m taking suggestions for tools, banners, e-mails, etc. so that affiliates have the absolute most potential to succeed. I’ve even given out a bunch of free articles that people can use to submit to article directories to help promote their affiliate link.

I think I’m pretty much leaving no stone unturned with this one.

Anyways, if you have any questions about launching a product, my launch, or tools to help promote as an affiliate, please leave a comment below. I am really loving all of the support that I’ve been getting and I think everyone who is involved with this has the potential to be really successful!
