Holy smokes. I didn’t anticipate there would be this much work ramping up to my braintrust / mastermind. There is.
I’ve been slammed since I first got serious about this.
A lot of my readers and users have been pressing me for details. I still don’t know everything (because I’m very fluid and this will evolve over time)… but here’s what I know so far.
First, a word of warning… I am making zero effort to sell anything here. I’m just telling you the details I have worked out so far. If you want to be sold… go to the site. If you want the dirty details that aren’t on the site… this is where you’ll find them. I’m sure I’m breaking all kinds of marketing rules spilling the beans like this… but you’re an adult. I’m sure you can handle it 
Although I still have some behind-the-scenes stuff to work out, I have the basic site up for the giveaway portion of the braintrust.
I will be giving away some really good free content up front. No real surprise there. Today’s bonus is Image Ad Builder… although I still haven’t finalized the actual release version. What’s up there right now is still the beta version, but I’ve added another 27 user-created templates.
On Thursday I’ll be sharing a content network trick I learned from the CPA side of my business. It’s very cool, very powerful, probably not entirely allowed, and can’t be done with search. There will be a method and a piece of software for that. And it can be used with Image Ad Builder.
Early next week, probably Monday or Tuesday, I will release the final piece of the free stuff. It will probably be another piece of my iFrame Magic that I use. I released a portion of that when Amish Shah spilled the beans on part of what I was doing. I’m considering opening that up a little more so you can see another cool trick you can do with iframes.
I have a couple more ideas I may do instead of the iframe stuff, though. Mostly because it feels like the support questions on that might be too much, since it’s much more of a technical-geek thing that’s really powerful.
And the reason I’m doing all of that is to build a relationship with people who don’t know me yet. (I know… can you believe they’re still out there ).
Next week I will launch my IM Warfare coaching program / braintrust. Membership will be limited. And I’ve decided there will be 2 parts to it…
One part will be a membership in a community and forums where I will participate and make available early releases of new technologies I am working on. There will not be any additional cost to be part of the community… once you’ve been a member in good standing with my braintrust you are in the community for life.
I would hope that the community is as good as what Gauher has going for PPCF and PPVF. That’s really my ideal. I’ll participate a lot… and I would like to see active participation from others, as well.
The second part is a 6-month micro-continuity training and coaching course. During that time I will show you have I run by business, how I exploit technologies, and a bunch of other stuff I don’t talk about very often.
It will be *very* enlightening, I can promise you that. You will absolutely see Internet Marketing differently than you ever have before. Even when I hang out with the big guns I have a different perspective than them.
Once I teach you something, if I have technology I use to do it, you will get what I use. Nothing held back.
And, since it’s also a braintrust, you’ll have an open communication to me to suggest new features or entirely new technologies. I’m *way* excited for where that goes. My brain gets moving fast, fast when I get in an open discussion about what you see in addition to what I see.
So far, here’s what the early schedule will be…
I’ll start off revealing every single aspect of my Amazon.com business. What I did right and wrong. And you’ll get all the software I’ve developed and websites that you can use yourself. I’ll even have a version where you can just use my sites with your Associate ID.
I chose that first because, even though not a lot of people focus on Amazon, I think there will be those that pay for their entire course and more just with the Amazon stuff between now and Christmas. It’s a *crazy good* time to know this.
And, even better, *all* of my Amazon.com marketing methods are totally free.
Seriously… this is worth the entire course (at least at this time of year… wouldn’t be the same in March).
From there we’ll get in to cloaking, tracking, offer rotation, finding winners, and maximizing profits. We may get into some search PPC there, as well… but only if I feel like I can offer something unique… I refuse to give you the same tired methods everyone else uses.
We’ll likely spend most of December learning how to manufacture winning campaigns and how to explode them once you have a foothold.
In January we’re going to crush ClickBank. Seriously.
We’re going to kill it with all the new year’s resolutions and other unique opportunities that present themselves that time of year. Plus, I’m going to show you some wicked sneaky ClickBank tricks you can do anytime. And, of course, you’ll get all the software I use… most of it is server-side for the ClickBank strategies.
In February we’ll hit landing pages hard. Only we won’t be talking much about design and quality scores and stuff. (Although I’m trying to get Jonathan Van Clute, the lpGen creator, to provide some great content about that part).
What I will be talking about are different types of landing pages you can create for different monetization methods. It probably sounds a little murky right now… but just know that I’m going to show you new landing page templates that generate revenue in different ways.
You already know I like to give stuff away… what you might not know is that a huge portion of my online business is from giving away free stuff and monetizing the traffic in other ways. I can’t say more than that right now… but you’ll like my sneaky landing page tricks.
Beyond that it’s a little hazy still. Partly because I haven’t nailed everything down yet. And mostly because I anticipate going wherever the braintrust wants to go. I expect I’ll need some flexibility in there.
I do, however, have a list of other topics I will be covering…
- Bots and data scraping.
- Advanced javascript tricks.
- Advanced iframe magic.
- Using offline marketing to drive online sales (a pre-requisite for the mobile marketing module that I will end with).
- Video and multi-media.
- Creating your own free ad network (ridiculously cool).
- Social networking (not my string suit… but I do have a couple tricks that work really well).
- White-hat (gray-hat) cookie stuffing and other aggressive techniques.
- CPA domination.
- Various other technical tidbits and magic little scripts and utilities.
- Using software distribution networks for free traffic.
And, finally, I’ll close with either mobile marketing or personal ad networks. I’d like to cover both of them… but it depends greatly on where the technologies are when the time comes. We’ll see.
Bottom-line… it will be absolutely jammed-packed. And, if I had to guess, I would think 80-90% of it will be stuff you’ve never heard before. And probably half of it will be stuff you didn’t think was even possible.
My big concern is that as we get into some pretty advanced stuff (most of it is pretty accessible) that we’ll slow down and get off schedule. If that happens I’ll extend the training up to 2 months without any additional expense to you.
Now, if you’re still reading at this point you have to be wondering about the price. Right?
It won’t be cheap. If I’m going to do this it will be almost a full-time job for me for the next several months. Even though I have most of the technologies in use already, I still have to commercialize them and make usable for you.
That’s my second really big concern… that I won’t have enough people to make it feasible for me to commit to. In that case, I will probably just refund your money and not do it. So that is a possibility… mostly because I’ve never done this before and I don’t know if 2 people will sign up, or 100.
So here’s what I’m thinking… and, surprisingly, this is up for discussion until I go live… because this part of it scares me a little. I just don’t know what to expect.
If you actually learn what I teach you, this would be a no-brainer. If you know me, you know this is going to be Good (capital G). But that doesn’t make it any easier to price it.
Right now I’m thinking six months of training for $247 / month per person (I’ve got to do the marketing price ending in a 7, right? Isn’t there some sort of law, or something ). That is *not* a continuity thing (I hate those, even though they’re very profitable).
That is the number that makes it work for me. I spread it out over the six months so it would be more digestible for you today.
If you pay up front I’m thinking a pretty hefty discount would be reasonable. Maybe I’d do a single up-front payment for $1,197.
Lastly, on my actual birthday (Thursday) I will be offering a special deal… which was a big part of the point of doing this now. On Thursday, and only Thursday (which is before the course materials will even be available, since it won’t launch until the following Tuesday) you can get your first month for $40 (you know… for my 40th birthday).
So that’s $207 off if you pay monthly or $990 total if you single-pay. If you single-pay on my birthday your total savings would be $492. That’s pretty good, I think. And a killer value.
Okay… so bad marketing form to expose everything up front. But if you’re reading my blog you probably don’t expect anything different.
If you’re on one of my lists or the lists of my partners (I only have a half-dozen, or so, that I’ve invited to “celebrate” with me) you’ll get the hype part of it anyway… so I don’t need to clutter my blog with the salesy stuff.
Oh… and you can check it out now at IMWarfare.com.
As always, I’d love to hear your comments, suggestions, complaints, or pleas to lower the price… although those last will be summarily ignored
Especially, if you’re serious about joining my braintrust, and you have a question… leave a comment or send me an email. Heck… even give me a call on my mobile @ 602-214-4075 (only if you’re serious and have concerns). I’ll remove my phone number from the post in a few days.
Wealth and abundance.
