Have you ever tried so hard to figure something out
and no matter how much you study, and think, the
solution just refused to come?
Maybe you've spent days, or months, or even years
trying to come up with the answer to a question
without success.
Then, one day, without warning, you read a statement
by somebody, or hear a word that "sparks" your mind
and gives you the answer you've been looking for
all this time.
I've experienced this on several occasions but the
most significant breakthrough I want to relate to you
is when I finally began to "get" this thing called
internet marketing.
I have read everything I can get my hands on about
marketing by everyone in the business it seems.
For over two years I beat my head against the wall
trying to learn how to make sales and build a list.
It was a chance comment by Willie Crawford on one
of his Saturday Morning Brainstorming and Networking
Calls that finally put everything in perspective
and gave me the jump start I needed to finally get
everything going.
Willie mentioned using a service called "Ask Database"
to survey people to find out what they are most
interested in. Then he just finds the product or
creates it and sells it to them.
Bells rang in my head and the light bulb finally lit
up!
I signed up for the 21 day trial of Ask Database for
$1 and posted a survey on the "Warrior's" forum and
Anthony Blake's forum asking people what's their
number one most burning question about resale rights
products.
After I had collected around 200 responses, I took the
top ten questions and answered them in a report that I
called "Resale Rights Answers".
I bought the domain "ResaleRightsAnswers.com and
threw up a one page sales site and posted the report
on the "Warrior's" forum as a "Warrior's Special
Offer"
at a reduced price without any bonuses.
I just wanted to see if it would sell.
Jackpot!!
I made 29 sales over the three days I ran the special!
That may not sound like a lot, but consider I have
been
fighting this business for over 2 years and have only
made a few sales of affiliate products up to this
point.
This was "My Product"! Something I had created! I was
in hog heaven!
Well, I had another problem now.
With no list, and no reputation, hence no JV partners,
I
didn't have the means to properly promote this
product.
So, I turned to the Warriors again.
This time I offered Private Label Rights to the report
for a significantly higher price.
More success! This time the report was bought by some
pretty heavy hitters in the marketing field. A couple
of them even put my name in their finished product as
a contributing author.
This has put me on the marketing "map", as it were,
and now when I come out with a new product, I have
a group of people that want to know immediately.
I'm still not a millionaire by any means, but I have
my
start, and if the Lord lets me live, I will be a
millionaire one day.
All because of a chance comment that struck a "spark"
that set off a chain of events that has allowed me to
market several of my own original products since then.
No matter how long you have been trying to learn
marketing,and no matter how many setbacks you have
encountered, don't give up!
Take every opportunity to mingle with and talk to
successful people because you never know when you'll
catch that "Spark" that will ignite your own creative
process and put you on the road to success!
It only takes a "spark" to light a fire that will burn
for
years! Always be on the lookout for yours.

One of the best ways of rubbing elbows with successful
people is
by attending seminars and conferences.
Meet me and some really successful people in New
Orleans in
September and give your business a big boost as you
learn how
to be a part of the "Fed Ex Club"-- meaning people who
make
more than $10,000 a month from AdSense, and get their
checks
delivered via Fed Ex.
Take advantage of this opportunity to meet and network
with people
like Michel Fortin, Mark Hendricks, Willie Crawford,
Carl Galletti,
Ryan Deiss (Nicheology), Jimmy D. Brown (Nicheology),
Jack
Humphrey, and many other successful members of the
"Fed Ex
Club".
To find out how, go to this link:

You don't have to be a member of the club to go to the
seminar, but you just might be one after you attend!
