A Cat’s Tail…

An old wise cat came upon a young cat chasing his tail
furiously in an alley

When the old cat stopped him and asked him why he was
running around stupidly in circles like that, the young cat
said, “You know I’ve recently graduated from Harvard and
discovered from my brilliant teachers that happiness and
all its secrets are in the tip of my tail. And it’s so
exciting all I want to do is chase it and get it every day
all day.

The old cat replied, “You know son, I haven’t been to
university like you or done anything particularly educational
but I too have discovered that happiness is in the tip of my tail.
But I stopped chasing it a long time ago and here’s what I know
that you apparently don’t.

Once you discvover that happiness is in your tail, you then know
where to look and you can stop chasing it forever because what
you eventually understand is that the tip of your your tail is not
only always with you but it has no choice but to follow you
everywhere, every day, all day long!”

If you haven’t found your happiness and online success yet, stop
chasing your tail and join The Internet Marketing Inner Circle

I recently did a radio show with Felicia Slattery on how
to use speaking to build your credibilty (and sales)
by developing what she calls your “Signature Speech.”

She teaches that you should do this even if you never
plan on becoming a professional speaker.

Felicia delivered her message with such conviction
and passion that it even caused the transcriptionist
to comment on how great it was.

It’s really great stuff!

I hope that you’re having a safe and serene day. Mine is rainy
and windy, as we experience some of the effects of Hurricane
Gustav passing abeam my part of Florida.

It’s not bad though. In preparation, I did gather and
inspect/test: my backup generator, bottled water, non-perishable
foods, plywood to cover windows and doors, and my wireless
internet connection. The cars are all full of gas, and I filled
several  10-gallon gas cans… so I could refill the generator.

I’ve had previous hurricanes leave us without electricity for
over a week

Twice in the past 24 hours I’ve had people  contact me and tell
me that they just “saw my face on CNN.”

What they actually saw was CNN anchorman Rick Sanchez showing
his Twitter page as he reported the news. Rick is one of almost
2000 people that follow me on Twitter.

I’m one of 5700 people following Rick.

If you’re not on Twitter, you should be.  It puts you in touch
with so many people… in real-time. As you can see, it even got
my  face on CNN… twice.

Please follow me on Twitter at:
http://Twitter.com/WillieCrawford/

If you’ve never used Twitter, I do have to warn you. It can be
addictive.  You can see someone like my friend John Reese…
post about his travels through Greece or Egypt, and when you
respond, it immediately appears on his Twitter profile, where he
and all of his followers can see it. It’s very powerful!

The storm will keep me inside today, so I plan on creating and
uploading 5 or 6 videos to YouTube and 30 or so other video
sharing sites.   I’m getting a lot of traffic from my videos in
some niches.

The secret to success in business, online or offline, is to keep
doing what works, and to stop doing what’s not working.  So,
I’ll keep making and uploading simple videos using the automated
submission service at  http://EasyPushbuttonTraffic.info

This is actually what I’d planned on doing anyway.  It’s fun,
and drives a lot of business my way.

Check it out.  If you’d like to see a video of me using the
system, you’ll find that here:
https://williec001.s3.amazonaws.com/EasyPushbuttonTraffic.htm

Notice that video is actually coming off Amazon.com’s server.
There’s a story behind that too. I’ll share that with you in the
next issue.

If you do use a service like Easy Pushbutton Traffic to post
your videos to YouTube, I have a free PDF report on how to get
MORE visitors to watch your videos. You’ll find the link to that
free PDF at: http://WillieCrawford.com/blog2/

Feel free to share that report with you friends. They’ll really
appreciate it.

Ok, time to check on the storm again, and then upload some
videos.

Stay dry

It’s pretty rare to get an Olympic Gold Medal, wouldn’t you say?
Only 1,210 Americans have received one.  It’s unusual to climb
Mt. Everest, too:  Just 2,300 people have done that.  But
there’s an even rarer category:  The number of billionaires.  No
more than 1,125 people in the world can claim that distinction.

My friend, Bill Bartmann, did just that.  Now keep in mind that
this group of 1,125 people includes people who had major help
along the way:  Many were born with it, inherited it, or had
every advantage while growing up.

In the history of billionaires, Bill Bartmann stands alone.
He’s the ONLY former homeless person and gang member ever to
have made a billion dollars.  That’s right, Bill went from
eating out of dumpsters and living under a bridge viaduct, to
having after-tax, take-home pay in a single year of more than
$100 million and being listed as the 25th richest person in
America.

Here’s where it gets extremely interesting:  Bill is willing to
coach YOU on how to succeed in business.

After all, what can you learn from someone whose daddy died and
left him a billion?  But it’s totally different with Bill
Bartmann:  He worked in a slaughterhouse.  He was an alcoholic
at age 17.  And at one point Bill was paralyzed from the waist
down.  Yet Bill discovered a DIFFERENT way of thinking and
acting that enabled him to overcome all of that, and become a
self-made billionaire.

After scaling the highest peaks in the business world and
getting his fill of toys like $25 million aircraft, what’s Bill
up to now?  He has one current passion:  Showing others his
special techniques for overcoming any challenge and being as
successful as they want to be.

Do you think Bill might know a few things YOU could use to
overcome your own challenges?  What if you could get his
thoughts on dozens of business topics?

Now you can.  Bill is launching a one-of-a-kind online service,
called his “Billionaire Business System”.  This is not some
one-size-fits-all deal.  Instead, Bill has built a mentoring
tool that provides you with laser-targeted advice on many
individual topics.

Are you already running a business but not sure what’s the best
way to secure financing for your next stage of growth?  Bill
covers that topic.  Not even sure if business is right for you?
Bill has a video session just about that.

In fact, the Billionaire Business System currently has almost
two dozen topics, and is constantly growing.

I strongly recommend that you take a look at Bill’s system and
see for yourself how it can remove whatever roadblocks are in
your way to greater business success.  You can find it by going
to: http://MeetAnActualBillionaire.com
Name me anywhere else on the planet that you can get specific,
useful, and comprehensive business-building advice from a
self-made billionaire?  That’s OK, I can’t think of any, either.

The sooner you have Bill Bartmann in your corner, advising you
on business success, the sooner you can sit back and bask in
your own dreams coming true.

To Your Success,

Willie Crawford

P.S.  The chances are really good that whatever challenges you
have, Bill’s been there, and found a way to overcome them.  Let
Bill show you how, by taking the easy step of going to

In the foreword to a new book, Mark Joyner points out that
the internet marketing crowd may, on the surface, share
some common features with a cult:

“A unique language understood only by those in the cult,
“guru” figures of whom many blindly follow, and bizarre
rites and rituals.”

Let’s see….

- Unique language: squeeze pages, optin rate, conversion
rate, PPC, CPM, CPA
- Guru figures: enough said!
- Bizarre rites and rituals: launching new websites at the
drop of a hat, constantly searching for better tools (which
spring up every day), working at all hours of the day or
night.

While Joyner’s comparison may in some sense be accurate,
there’s another word that better describes this collection
of eclectic individuals we know as “internet marketers”.

Family.

Skeptical?

Think about it: in what other business arena do the major
players:

- Freely share their biggest “secrets”?
- Promote each others’ products and services?
- Sell to each other, and to each other’s customers?

I can’t think of any other business endeavor where
successful business owners are so open and transparent with
their colleagues and potential competitors (”newbies”).

And Joel Comm has now taken this transparency to a whole
new level.

You may know Joel as the guy who figured out how to make
Google’s Adsense a money-pumping hands-free oil well and
then turned around and wrote a book about what he learned…

In the New York Times Best Seller The Adsense Code, he
pulled back the curtain so others can duplicate what he
did.

Joel’s new book -the one with the foreword by Mark
Joyner-documents the history of the internet marketing
“family”…

Click Here to Order: Stories of the World’s Most Successful
Internet Marketing Entrepreneurs is the most complete
background of Internet marketing that exists today.

Joel retells story after story of dozens of today’s
internet marketers: how they got started and the paths they
took to become successful.

Once you finish reading this book, you will never look at
Internet Marketing in the same way. Not only do you get an
inside look at marketers including:

- Marlon Sanders
- John Carlton
- Michel Fortin
- Willie Crawford
- Armand Morin

Plus many others, often in their own words…

You also get the little “nuggets” of practical and
strategic wisdom that Joel has deftly included too.
So the book is part family history, part marketing
education, and part inspiration.

You might already be part of the family, if you:

- Know what a squeeze  page is
- Spend time obsessing over your “opt-in rate”
- Check your Clickbank or Paypal account twenty times a day
- Continually search for better-performing keywords
- Hang out with your online friends more than with your “offline” buddies

…then congratulations!  You are already a member of the “family”.

If not, the fastest way to join this family is to read the book!

This email may make a few enemies, but I feel that it’s
something that HAS to be said. In fact, I’ve even posted
similar notes on some VERY popular internet marketing
discussion forums.  “The powers that be” may be pressured
into deleting them, but we’ll see.

The problem is that less experienced marketers base
what and how they market on the advice of those that
they THINK are doing very well.

They also gauge how well they’re doing by comparing their
results with the results that the experts share.

One of the most disturbing trends, the one that actually
sent me off on a crusade, is the fact that many “experts”
are telling people that they are getting astronomical
conversion rates when they send traffic to a webpage.

I’ve used a variety of methods to send millions of unique
visitors to some webpages written by copywriters who
charged tens of THOUSANDS of dollars to write those
sales pages, and I’ve NOT seen conversion rates like I
frequently see tossed around on discussion forums.

I feel that it’s my duty to help you set reasonable
expectations, based upon typical results that those who
DO know what they are doing… get.

I’ll share with you that targeted traffic, sent to very
well-written webpages, has converted as rate ranging from
above 20% to as low as .5%.

Seasoned copywriters often tell me that when they write
a webpage that converts at 2-3%, they’re ecstatic!

This does NOT mean that you should settle for low conversion
rates. It means that you need to test, track, and then
do little things in your marketing that continuously
increase your conversion rates.

Those things include targeting the correct keywords.

Did you know that 80% of the keywords used by the trained,
seasoned experts, DON’T convert?

The most successful ones are successful BECAUSE they
test and track everything.  So, they identify which keywords
aren’t working for them, and then they focus on the winners.

Part of the problem though “seems to be” that many of the
experts are afraid to tell you the truth. They handle you
with “kids gloves” because they’re afraid that if they
tell you bad news, you won’t buy from them.

They seem to mistakenly think that you can’t handle the
truth… that they have to paint a picture of everything
that they do producing incredible results.

Enough of the bad news though

When I was in the military, my bosses taught me to NEVER
bring them bad news without also offering a workable
solution.

If you are an affiliate marketer in particular, you’ve
long been at a real disadvantage when promoting someone
else’s product, because almost none of the big affiliate
networks provide any keyword tracking data for you to
KNOW which keywords (or pay per click campaigns) are the ones
that are really paying off for you.

I mention pay per clicks because unless you have a HUGE
database, PPC’s are often the easiest, fastest, most
cost-effective way for many affiliate marketers to generate
traffic

Sadly, most people trying their hand at affiliate marketing
eventually give up - a lack of tracking and conversion
information makes it impossible for them to turn a profit

Some of the “solutions” that  I’ve seen used in the past were
a real train wreck. Either they used questionable tricks to
“get around” the problem (often breaching the “terms of
service” of major affiliate networks) or they just flat out
didn’t work.

I’ll get off my soapbox by sharing one solution that does
work… one that most of the fake experts, off spouting
bogus statistics, probably don’t even know about…

It’s called “Xtreme Conversions,” and was created by Amir
Darwish, a friend, and a very talented programmer.

Simply by placing a small piece of code on your landing
page (or redirect page) you’re using to promote products,
Xtreme Conversions gives you the data that you need to
make intelligent marketing decisions.

Extreme conversion lets you:

- Find the exact search phrases users types in that are
CONVERTING

- Find the exact search phrases that gets users actually
clicking on your ads

- Learn exactly what your target market wants (that’s huge,
because the key to success in internet marketing IS as simple
as offering your customers what they want!)

- Identify with laser precision the best negative keywords

- Conclusively confirm which keywords your SEO efforts should
focus on

- Dynamically insert the correct (most profitable) keywords
into your pages

xTreme Conversion works with Google AdWords, Yahoo, MSN and
six other major search engines.  As for affiliate networks, it
works with ClickBank, Commission Junction, Linkshare, Amazon,
Azoogle, MaxBounty and any others that enables you to add a
tracking ID to your affiliate link.

When I chatted with Amir, and told him how upset about all
of the mis-information being spread around, he wanted to help
too.  We both realize that if you make decisions based upon
bad information, or deliberately spread mis-information, you
don’t stand a chance.

So Amir offered to give you $30 off the price of his software,
but only for the next 72 hours.

If you’re an affiliate using pay per clicks, or search engine
marketing, you cannot afford NOT use this software!

Watch this video to see the frightening true story.

http://www.stompernet.net/jvp/aw.aspx?B=44&A=103

This REALLY Happened:

StomperNet co-founder Brad Fallon’s Wedding Favors site was
DUMPED from Google.

That’s HALF his traffic, HALF his sales, and HALF his entire
business.

Gone!  Just Gone.

What did HE do?

Brad went and had the best 6 months EVER - without a home page
listing in Google.

You can watch how he did it, here:

http://www.stompernet.net/jvp/aw.aspx?B=44&A=103

BTW, this is one of StomperNet’s now famous Going Natural
Videos, a brand new on, in fact.  If you haven’t seen these
kinds of videos before, you’re in for a hard-core learning
experience.

Dan Thies, StomperNet Faculty and SEO Expert, took a million
bucks worth of collected data and developed, implemented and
PERFECTED a PPC strategy that SAVED Brad’s company.

What Dan did is crazy - it’s nuts - it goes against EVERYTHING
in the PPC book.

This is a NEW BOOK, and Dan and StomperNet wrote it.

You can’t read it - but you can watch…

http://www.stompernet.net/jvp/aw.aspx?B=44&A=103

It’s for ALL Experience Levels - Expert and Newbie.

But don’t just take my word for it - go hear about it from the
guys who engineered the strategy - they’ve got the NUMBERS to
back it up.

Don’t miss this video, or you’ll miss the chance to DOUBLE your
income from PPC - or if you AREN’T doing PPC now, this is the
best way to start RIGHT.

I know I already have!

Here’s a really nice set of Private Label Rights ebooks
that can be used in numerous way.

http://WillieCrawford.com/NiceLittlePackage/

The products are outside the Internet marketing
niche, and are on great topics.

You can also resell the entire PLR package to earn
100% commission paid directly to your Paypal account.

On a small test mailing that I did, the page converted at
11.5%… but I’m sure that’s not typical.

If your customers are looking for something outside
the IM niche, or something other than all of the
big ticket product offers that they are being bombarded
with, this should convert very well for you.

Be one of the first to promote this very nice package
