We were fortunate enough to have President George W. Bush attend our World Internet Main Event event in San Fransisco in September.

So I made sure to take a photo with him,,,

NOT!

Actually, it was the world class leading George. W. Bush Impersonator John Morgan.

If you would want to hire John Morgan for your event, check out his cool video here.

Oh, come on! You could have done the same thing ;)

Hi Guys,

Here is a picture of me at The World Internet Main Event…

We were fortunate enough to The President of The U.S.A. to to visit our members and I was sure to get my photo with him…

NOT!

What you are seeing is a photo of the worlds best George W. Bush impersonator John Morgan.

You can find our more about John at http://www.georgebushimpersonator.com/jm_main.swf

I just figured this would be a cool photo to put on my blog, LOL.

Oh, Come one! - You would do the same thing :-0

Hi again…

Are you like John Reese?

Has the following ever happened to you to?

(I know it has to me several times…)

If it has, you are going to love this true story because it can inspire you to have a ‘real’ million dollar idea and watch it explode all over the Internet in just a matter of hours!

On, June 2nd, and the income .com blog, John posted about how he woke up at 4am with this idea he had…

He could not get it out of his head and he had to get up to write it down on paper.

THIS ONE, was so big, he told his entire staff to stop everything they were working on and get working on what he called..

** OPERATION BR **

(I will explain what the BR is in just a minute….)

Has this ever happened to you?

But more importantly, is this really a Million Dollar idea?

No - This is not…

Not even close.

It could be a $100 Million Dollar idea.

In fact, I spoke to John at my event this week, and he is very confident he has just created one of the most interesting new Start Ups of the year…

AND…

If he was offered $100 Million right now, he is not even sure if he would take it.

#1 - It would not change his life style. (He has every thing he wants already is what he means.)

#2 - He has grand plans and thinks it could be worth maybe up to Ten times that price… And since this is his new baby, he does not want to turn it over to anyone so quickly.

What is the service?

Hold on, I will get to that… I promise! But don’t you want to know a little about history in the making first?

So before we go into the service, lets see if John was right to put EVERYTHING else on hold.

And since John told me some confidential things,

- I can not tell you specifics of the number of sites it is now on (in just days…)

- I can not tell you how many gazillion (not a real number) times the Ads have shown in just a few days.

- I can not tell you how many users have joined in just the first minutes of the site, or first few days.

- I can not tell you how many new users are flooding the service (literally every minute) each day.

What I can tell you is that if you do a little bit of stealth research, you will see that if you SEARCH GOOGLE for his site name, you will see THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of blog posts about his new
project in just days.

BR has become the Iphone of the Blogging world!

Also, if you check the Alexa .com ratings, you will see his site is getting massive traffic and that means massive user base.

In fact, John told me and the members at my event, and I quote:

“I have never seen anything like this. Not in Internet Marketing, not with anyone or any site I have ever been a part oF It has totally exceeded any wild expectation I had, and I was ready
for big things. We are totally blown away. (big smile)”

Hi Guys,

If you have 57 minutes per day, Eric and I promise to have your earning $4000 per month or your money back…

Interested?

There seems to be about 96% of marketers online making less than $500 per MONTH online. (I know, I did a survey and asked and got thousands of replies.)

There is something wrong with that and I am doing something about it.

Side Note: my current coaching program is ending. The price was $1500 down payment and $497 per month. - My promise was to teach people how to make $5000 per month online.

We have had many success stories. But I am closing that down, forever… On December 31st of this year.

If you want to be part of the 96%, then close this note from me now…

Or, if you think you can get to the 4% yourself, close this note from me now. (Most successful people I know, including me, paid to have a mentor teach them the steps to making a full time income online,)

But, if you want to be one of the 4% that Eric and I are going to hold by the hand, I can tell you with great conviction, that you have found
(finally) the perfect stepping stone to fast track you to living the Internet lifestyle (It is real!)

You are not going to have to put $1500 down…

You will not pay $497 a month…

…Not $397…Not $297, or even $197…

Keep reading to see how low our charter membership is to LOCK IN for a lifetime to get GRAND FATHERED in.

But first let me tell you how Job Crusher came about and how and why I am part of it.

***** FLASH BACK ******
(Blur Effect and Sounds of a Harp)

It was over 2 years ago. A new conference tool just came out and I wanted to show Michael Rasmussen (a friend and successful marketer) how it worked and we got in the room and logged in with our real names.

mike_filsaime
michael_rassmussen

When we got in the room, there were about 12 people in the room.

One of them was Eric Louviere.

Michael and I decided to do a 2 hours impromptu coaching to teach them how to make $4000 a month.

***** END FLASH BACK *****
(Blur Effect and Sounds of a Harp)

Eric followed suit, and 1 year later sent me a PM (private message) in a forum to tell me he was now full time and making over $100K online and wanted to personally thank me.

He said it was that 2 hours that changed his life and he did everything we told him to do!

I was blown away and asked him to call me…

We stayed friends since last year. (In fact, he is coming to stay with me for 1 week in October of this year and also hang around my office.)

You may have heard of Eric with projects he has done with Dr. Mike Woo Ming…

affiliatesalesletters.com
marketersonamission.org
affiliatesalesvideos.com

and you may have even seen his sales letters online that he charges up to $10,000 for.

Eric Louviere has reached super status since that day in the conference software and is on track to break $1 Million in sales per year at his current rate.

A TRUE INTERNET SUCCESS STORY…

Recently, Eric and I were talking. I told him I was closing my coaching program forever.

He called me up 3 days later and asked me if I would be interested in forming JOB CRUSHER,

…a new mentoring program that can teach people how to earn a fulltime income online, and offer everything a $497 a month program would but at a fraction of the price…

I originally told him No!

He persisted -

So I made him an Impossible Mission to shut him up… (I figured he would never go as far as I asked him.)

Boy was I WRONG - I should have known, Eric is a do-er, and when he puts his mind to something, it gets done…

THIS is what I said to him.

“Eric, if you want me to be part of this. You need to prove to me you are committed and you can get results. I will do my part, but how do I know you can and will…

… So what I want you to do, is form the site, then launch it to a group of beta users in a Forum, get results and case studies, and then get back to me.”

So he does, he gets 97 people paying monthly, and for months he teaches them and gets great results (see the web site.)

So now he comes back to me. I create my account and go thru the site.

I tell him he is 80% there. He was not happy, but I told him, if I am going to be part of this I want to see more.

I want a community and more videos. I want more step-by-step systems, and a better archive.

60 days later, he shows it to me and I am blown away.

“This is just what I want to be a part of” I tell him…

Below is just part of what we now will offer…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bi-weekly live webinar presentations (3 of them)

Q&A sessions during each webinar

* First webinar -
Look over our shoulder program. We reveal everything, the exact niche, the site, the domain, the content, how we generate traffic, stats, everything. Members get to see exactly how a profitable niche business is created from a to z, ground up.

* 2nd webinar -
4k per month program. This is where we talk about making money online, period. We cover niche marketing, affiliate marketing, copywriting, traffic, JV’s, everything we can to help people make big money.

* 3rd webinar -
Jimmy’s Tech classes. He teaches tech lessons and helps people with their tech questions, live Plus Private Mastermind community with forum

Plus Training: Videos, Audio Recordings, Stealth Reports, Killer Illustrations, etc

Guest speakers: occasionally we’ll have underground guest experts and leading marketers present to the members on a specific topic.

Mastermind groups: We pushed the current members to start up mastermind groups and those are starting to form.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IMPORTANT NOTE:

*** I spoke to Eric yesterday about the new stiff we are going to add. No I can not tell you the exact specifics, but what I can tell you is that we are going to give members exclusive software to use, and in some cases sell and give you tolls to sell them and make money. (More on that coming soon…)

Charter Members will have more advantages then later members.

Now before I give the price…

Do NOT even think of joining if you are not committed to learning just a few minutes per day.

(Sounds easy, but I know many people are lazy.)

I want true people that re hungry like Eric.

New Eric’s only need apply.

I am serious, we are forming a Mastermind community and we can not allow negative whiney do-nothing people to be a cancer to the rest of the group.

(We will fire anyone like this very quickly to protect the membership.)

And as I said, we will be creating tools to allow you to make money and even in the future will develop products and scripts for you to sell (Who knows, maybe even the sales pages.)

Plus lots of other cool bonuses to be given to our members.

So what is the price, it will be $147 per month, and maybe even go to $197 per month (but never more than $197 per month.)

It may have an activation fee of $497 as well at a later date.

Now, while we may do a $97 price for the public launch before we go to $147 we are offering CHARTER MEMBERSHIP to the first 325 people only.

Once you get in you are GRAND FATHERED at this price for LIFE >>>

CHARTER MEMBERSHIP PRICE ONLY $67

That’s right, just $67 per month.

Q: If I get out, can I ever get back in?

A: Yes, you can get back in at any time, but you lose your price and pay the full $147 or $197

You can get out at anytime and if you get in today, you have no risk because if you are not happy in the first month, simply let us know and we will give you your money back.

SO GET IN FOR only $67 and try it out risk free!

There are memberships that you can add a ZERO to the end of that number and there over 1500 paying for that.

So when you see a chance to get in for 1/10th the price, you should jump on it since there is no risk.

So, if you want to be part of the “New Eric’s,” and you want to be the next wave of full time marketers making a fulltime income online…

They get ready to fire your boss and Join JOB CRUSHER

I am a full partner in this program and will be on the faculty and will be instrumental in the learning modules and operations of the program.

I look forward to working with your and seeing you in the master mind community.

WTC = What’s the connection?I am going to tell you a SAD but TRUE lesson.

Please note, I am NOT selling you anything. There is no link to go buy anything. Not now, or later. And this is not a set up to buy anything in the future.

I am simply sharing what I have learned and what has allowed me to make millions of dollars online. (If you have no idea of that, that is OK, you may have been invited to this article. You can go to theHistoryOfMikeFilsaime.com to see how I built my business or you can do a Google search on “Mike Filsaime”.)

O.K. So let me explain to you my Million Dollar Secret.

Real quick… First what I want to make make clear, is that I am talking to anyone in the service related business.

And what I mean by that is, you are selling (or promoting as an affiliate) a product or service that will help solve someone’s problem, cure their pain, answer their question, or give them the pleasure that they are seeking.

(I am not relating to people that are doing some type of arbitrage by getting traffic and making money by clicks made off their sites while sending the customer somewhere else.)

So why the title: “Fish,  Poles,  Boxes,  and  Buttons… WTC?”What is the connection between Fish, Poles, Boxes, and Buttons?

“Give a man a fish, feed him for a day… If you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.”

Now, while that is noble, and true. The fact (the very very SAD fact) is that MOST people do not want to learn how to fish. Most people do not want to LEARN how to do anything.

So what does that mean? Does that mean that people really just want the fish?

YES!

But they do not just want the fish, but they want it cooked, served right out of the oven, with a great white wine, butter and lemon on to baste it, and some nice rice and vegetables on the side.

And… They want it in a nice environment, and they want pay someone to do it right for them!

That… my dear friend, is the million dollar secret. But I can not just leave it there. Please allow me to explain more of what I mean.

Progression…

Fish: Teach “How to” Catch Fish - 10% of market, high refund rate.
Pole: Sell The Pole - 20% of market, medium refund rate
Box: Give Him The Fish - 30% of market, Low Refund Rate
Button: Prepare the Fish Dinner - 50% of market, Pays a Premium, keeps coming back, and virtually no refund rate.

So we spoke about Fish and Pole…What do I mean by “BOX”?

Well, a “Box” is almost there. And a good place to sell products and services. It is better than teaching how to fish, or selling tools to help you fish. The Box means “Business in a box” or “Solution in a Box” - But it still requires the person to do a little bit of work.

So does that mean the best business to be in is selling “Buttons”?

YES!! You want to be in the business of selling buttons. People want to push buttons and get results. You want PUSH BUTTON NICHE results.

Look at the BUTTONS that sell every day on TV!

• The Diet Patch - Place a patch on your arm, lose weight
• The Diet Pill - Eat what you want, and still lose weight
• The Roomba, cleans your house while you sleep
• The Rotisserie Gold - Set It and Forget it -
• Magic Cream to Remove Wrinkles
• Re grow hair while you sleep
• Whiten Your Teeth in 2 minutes per day

You know, I was talking with John Reese recently, and he made a statement that was just incredible. I will refer to it as “THE FIRST CLASS OPTION” -

What that means is, if there is a service, there are ALWAYS people willing to pay more, to get better, faster, premium service. Look at airlines for example. People pay 10x the price to get in line faster and get off the plane first (to meet everyone at baggage claim at the same time) as well as a nice seat and better dining.

If you go to amusement parks like Disney, you will now notice they sell Premium PASS tickets, that means you pay an extra $20, and you can go on the express line and not have to wait on 45 minute lines to get on a ride while they just walk you right to the front.

We live in a FED-EX world. People want it NOW and they are willing to pay a premium to get it faster. (Just look at a Amazon check out.) - We can have it mailed for FREE with their super saver, or we can pay $24.95 to have it tomorrow. Many people pay more for shipping than they do for a book, just so they can have it NOW, and not have to wait.

SIDE NOTE: Not only are you losing money if you do not offer a premium price and better service. (That is correct, there are people that WANT to pay more to be a VIP or Platinum member. Just look at the VIP up-selll you see for dinners when we buy a seminar ticket.)Â

If you go to a Tony Robbins Event, he has Platinum Members in the front row. Then they have Premium tickets in the first 5 rows. These people pay $800 more than the average price. (Just like we see at sporting events. Better seats, premium price. And people are willing to pay. People pay up to $1 Million per year for luxury suites at ball parks and stadiums.)

WORSE: If you do not offer a premium service, people may not even use your product. They may only deal with people that will take more of their money to treat them better. I have many friends that will not fly Southwest Airlines because they have no “First Class” seating!

Fact: There is an expression in the sales business. “Low Gross, High Grief…. and High Gross, Low Grief.” What that means is more often than not, the people that pay your more money are better clients. Those that penny pinch (more often than not) will be high grief. (You are better dealing with 10 people paying $1000 than 100 people paying $100.)

In fact, there is a little known secret in the insurance industry. If you ever wondered why they run your credit history (in the USA) when you go to pay for car insurance, you may be surprised what the reason is. They do not need to know your credit because they are not lending money. You pay first, then get a policy. If you do not pay, they just cancel you on the spot… SO WHY THE CREDIT CHECK?

The insurance companies have found that people with low credit scores generally have low cash flow. People with better credit unusually have better cash flow. The bottom line is, people with better cash flow are LESS likely to make a claim for an small fender-bender than people with poor cash flow (usually poor credit.) - The end result is, people with good credit usually avoid making a claim and pay for the $2000 repair themselves because they know that making a claim can raise their rates on all 3 cars, or they maybe even be dropped from auto and home all together. Poor cash flow people tend to place every little claim with the insurance company and therefore are not the ideal clients for a profit seeking private insurance company. So THAT is why an insurance company will not carry someone with a low credit score.

Bottom line is, you want to deal with PREMIUM customers.

Heck, if you give me the option, I will pay more, just because I want to be better than average. I will admit, I love to walk on a plane before everyone else and go faster through security while people give me that look like “I have been here for 45 minutes!”

So I hope you are starting to see a picture here.

You want to offer premium services for people. You want to SELL BUTTONS. And buttons sell at a PREMIUM.

Lets look at Adsense as a niche. What can you do.

Teach “How To” FISH - You can write an ebook to teach people how to make money with Adsense. This may establish you as an expert. Sales will be not bad, and refunds will be higher than the following.

Pole (Make Fishing Easier) - You can create a software that makes it easy for people to make a site and place Adsense on it. Typically, I have found that software can outsell “HOW TO” almost 3 to one at double the price.

“BOX” (Give the FISH) - You can make site templates, that is like a business in a box, All they have to do is load them up, do a little work, and they can start making money, - Very low refund rate. (They rarely say, this is too hard. They know what they are getting.)

Button (Prepare the FISH) - You can build the sites yourself, then get them making money. And then you can sell this PUSH BUTTON “Turn Key” business for a premium and it will fly off the shelves and they will love you, pay you top dollar, beg you for more, and almost never refund.

And guess what, you can teach them to fish when they buy the BUTTON. You make that part of the FREE BONUS?

Are you starting to see the picture?

If you look at the example above, you can follow Joel Comm’s Adsnese business model trough the first three. After Joel Comm learned himself how to make money with Adsense, he wrote an ebook and starting a coaching program (TEACHING). He then followed with software. (POLE)

They both made him a pretty penny. But when he went to the “BOX” method, he sold 10 x more in a total of 7 days, then he did with both previous models in 2 years! And guess what… people lined up to pay him AGAIN, and the yet AGAIN when he came out with new “BOX” templates the 2nd and 3rd time!

Recently, I worked on a project in the same market. It took me and Ray (my partner on the project) almost 1 year to make the “Button”, and we sold-out the project in 7 hours!

We sold over 1000 sites, and made over $100,000 in just 7 hours and had to put SOLD OUT on the page. If I hade 10,000 sites, I could have sold them all and made $1 Million dollars. -

And the refund rate is near ZERO, and even though I stated: “once they are gone, they are gone”, I still have people coming to my help desk begging me, YES BEGGING ME, to build more sites for them and they will pay DOUBLE the asking price. - The price, $749 and they FLEW OFF THE SHELVES! -

1 EMAIL - 7 Hours - NO JV PARTNERS - No Pre-launch - ZERO BUZZ

CONTRAST: A much superior product I sold 2 months ago, was called me “The7FigureCode.com” - This product sold for $497 (almost half of the pre-made sites) and quite frankly, is one of the best products you can buy today on building a business online. (Google Reviews to see)

Now, we did very well with these. Yet we needed a huge pre launch campaign and paid huge commissions to affiliates and had to rock the world for 7 days to do so.

But I am sad to report, the refund rate on this product was higher than I wanted. I was hoping for 3% (Because it is so good.) It was more than double that. It was 8.2% - That’s right, over 200 people shipped the course back to us. While I was heart broken, it was a simple reason…

REASON: The Course Was Teaching People “How To” Fish.

We would get calls stating. “I want to return it.” We asked why? “I did not even open the box, I just do not have time to learn.”

or… “I opened the box, and felt overwhelmed.”

or… “I skimmed thru the pages, I already know it all.” (Yet, I have not made any money online, and this is a DVD course, and the ‘pages’ were only transcripts of the quality DVD’s to use as a way to take better notes.)

or… “Now What?” We said, watch DVD1, then 2, then 3, and go thru the course. - The person said: “I do not want to go thru the course, I already saw everyone speak. I just want to know what to do to make money.”

Now do not get me wrong, I am very proud of my teachings and I made a lot of money from the course but better yet, many many hundreds of people will go onto great success from what they learned.

“Don’t show me the recipe, just give me the pie.”

But what I realized, is the main reason these people asked for refunds is simple, they just do not want to take the time to learn, or they do not see learning as fun. They do not want to learn how to fish, they just want the fish!

And not just the fish, they want it cooked and served with fine wine.

The bottom line is, when you can offer someone the total solution, they will line up to pay a premium. Of course, we always want to provide top quality value and exceed expectations.

And a quick side note as well. If you provide a service, that has an easy way to track a high ROI (Return On Investment), you now have the Golden Goose.

i.e. If you have a service that provides traffic to a website or something like that, people will line up to pay you as much money as they can muster, for as much traffic as you can deliver, just so long as what they spend with you can give them more in returns than they are spending. (Look at Google Adwords.)

So what can you do with this information I outlined here?

You can go through your business and decide if you are teaching how to fish or are you selling poles, boxes, or buttons.

If you are not selling buttons, rethink what you can do in your business to sell BUTTONS and and watch your profits soar as people line up to throw premium prices as you and beg you for more and more. They will be the best customers you ever had.

Better yet, see if you can create a Golden Goose service for your customers. If you ask your customers the right questions, they will tell you what they want.

It all starts by asking yourself the right questions.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post. Please leave a comment to share your thoughts with the other reads and to reflect on what this will do for your business. If you dig it, then digg it!
