How easy it is to control the sheeple

July 12, 2018 04:00 - 15 minutes - 14.5 MB

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, if you own a business you’ve probably heard about the General Data Protection Regulation from Europe, right? People are freaking out about it. “Oh, my God. What do I have to do to be compliant? What changes do I need to make on my website? Do I need to hire an attorney? Are they going to prosecute me or shut my business down?” Judas H. Priest! I’ve never seen anything like this. If you’re concerned about how GDPR will affect you and your busine...

Raffum Fraffum Scraffum Wazoo

June 07, 2018 04:00 - 18 minutes - 17.8 MB

Hardly anybody could understand my high school sophomore English teacher, Mr. Fleming. Ironic, right? The dude taught English but nobody could understand half of the English he spoke. In spite of that problem, Mr. Fleming taught me one of the most valuable copywriting lessons I’ve ever discovered when he shouted “Raffum fraffum scraffum wazoo!” at me one day in the library. It’s what makes the difference between a so-so performing “B” list writer... and an “A” list writer who creates...

You're being led to slaughter

May 31, 2018 04:00 - 29 minutes - 27.9 MB

I know guys and gals making net “in-your-pocket” profits of more than a million dollars per year. However... they’re scared to death to hear my message this week. They stick their fingers in their ears and do that “la-la-la” thang, singing at the top of their lungs to block me out. Because this is NOT a popular message. You see, a lot of people who have the appearance of wealth. And most think the party is never gonna end. However, when it does... and it ALWAYS does... they’re go...

How to take care of your Goldfish with Josh Stanton part 2

May 24, 2018 04:00 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MB

You’ve heard of multiple streams of income, right? Well you can do the same thing for customer acquisition. Multiple streams of customers. And each stream will bring you different customers that none of the other streams would have brought you. So this tactic is rock solid. And it MIGHT be exactly what you need to transform a “meh” business... in to a “kick ass” business. That and many more tips were shared by my guest on this week’s Off The Chain show.

I got mad R-E-S-P-E-C-T for my guest this week on Off The Chain. He’s a true bootstrap entrepreneur. Ad he’s one of the few guys with the balls to do what I’ve recommended to thousands of wannapreneurs... yet have only seen a handful actually do it. He tells the story about how he turned his back on a “sure thang” career as an engineer to chase the entrepreneurial dream. And how he financed his first online business. A business that sold a book on how to take care of your goldfish. ...

Half a billion in sales with Brian Moran part 2

May 10, 2018 04:00 - 28 minutes - 26.7 MB

If you want to build a big business, listen up. ’Cuz a lot of entrepreneurs have crashed and burned while scaling up. Simply because they didn’t understand this one thang: The qualities of a good entrepreneur are almost antithetical to the qualities of a good manager. So... as you scale up and your team grows... if you’re the entrepreneur driving the growth... there’s one HUGELY important thang you absolutely MUST do if you don’t want to destroy your business. And that one thang is r...

Half a billion in sales with Brian Moran part 1

May 03, 2018 04:00 - 27 minutes - 26 MB

Wouldn’t it be cool to have a business where people pay you a few hundred bucks a month... and all you do is basically give them electrons? AND there’s a SERIOUS pain of disconnect... so they keep paying you month after month, year after year. And no potential compliance issues from federal alphabet agencies and state attorney generals like other businesses have to be concerned about. Just thousands of people paying you $100 or more every month... possibly for years on end. Sounds go...

Quit Wishterbating with Jared Emin part 2

April 26, 2018 04:00 - 30 minutes - 28.5 MB

It’s controversial. But my guest says it has been proven true time and time again in his business. If you want to be a master persuader... but you’re a student of NLP... you gotta go to “NLP rehab” to unlearn all that stuff. Then and ONLY then can you start to become a good persuader of your fellow human beings. Once you’ve done that, there’s another cool little serendipity... You can start getting rid of all the head trash that’s been holding you back and sabotaging all your effor...

April 19, 2018 04:00 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MB

And I’m not the dude telling you to not earn NLP. That comes from a guy who is a master at it. And had built his entire life around it. Anyhoo, I’ve got an interesting guest on Off The Chain this week. He’s an serial entrepreneur, online marketer and direct response copywriter for his own business which specializes in teaching persuasion techniques. You’re about to discover several interesting things if you’re interested in getting good at persuasion skills. And one of the most surpr...

Roy Furr - Freelance Titan part 2

April 12, 2018 04:00 - 31 minutes - 29.5 MB

In fact, after writing sales copy for almost a quarter of a century as a full time gig (mostly writing for my own businesses)... I’m starting to view what drives top performers for what it REALLY is...   A mental illness.   No sane person wants to deal with all the self-hate, mental and emotional trauma that an A-list player has to deal with.   But there’s a reason top producers in any field are so out of balance. And it’s the thing that eventually makes them great.   If you ...

Imagine taking a successful $50 million/year biz and quadrupling it to over $205 million/year... in only 3 years. While screwing a bunch of stuff up along the way. No, the point isn’t that you can be successful in spite of screwing things up... The point is this: If you want to experience growth that big, that fast... screwing things up is 100% NECESSARY. That’s what my guest on this week’s Off The Chain show is revealing. If you thought everything had to be perfect to build a re...

There's no money in fitness with Olllie Matthews part 2

January 18, 2018 05:00 - 17 minutes - 16.1 MB

It CAN be done, ya know? Of course that depends on your passion. If you’re passionate about sitting on the sofa, drinking beer and eating pizza... it’s gonna be a whole lot harder to make money with that than a person who is passionate about golf. You get the idea. So if you have a passion that can actually be monetized... you should listen to this week’s Off The Chain show to hear how one guy has done it rather successfully.

I worked with a trainer to help me get back in shape. Because this guy knows how to do it. Cuz at one time he was a grossly obese 260 lbs... and could barely climb 4 or 5 stairs without having to stop and catch his breath. But he made some changes, got in AWESOME shape and even started competing in bodybuilding contests. And now he’s one of the premier trainers in England. These days he’s a man on a mission. He wants to help entrepreneurs get in great shape... so they can work at t...

Facebook Hate

January 04, 2018 05:00 - 20 minutes - 19.3 MB

I’m constantly amazed at how many seemingly normal and intelligent people submit to CIA MK Ultra mind control programming... and for all intents and purposes what amounts to an HOURLY gummint anal probe. Even more amazing... they do this WILLINGLY. And completely miss out on living a REAL life... in the REAL world. A life exponentially more fulfilling than the sick, perverted demonic-controlled virtual life they’re living. But tens of millions do. And my online radio producer (I li...

Just Sell The Damn Thing

December 28, 2017 05:00 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MB

I recently launched a new book on Amazon. And now yours truly is a 3-time international best selling author. By the way, when I proffered that as payment for my small coffee at Starbucks the other day, the girl behind the counter looked at me like I had three heads and said, “That’ll be $50, please.” (Or whatever astronomical price they’re charging for a small coffee these days.) But that’s neither here nor there. Because even though you’ll only make pennies in royalties... you can ...

December 21, 2017 05:00 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MB

Like I mentioned last week... One of my knights decided to use his copywriting and marketing skills to wade through millions of REALLY bitter and hateful women online to try and find “the one.” And after using Facebook ads to bring some attention to his little experiment, it went viral. And THOUSANDS of haters (mostly women) came out of the woodwork. Heck, some even threatened to KILL him! Which just once again confirms what I always say about the mindset of people you find on Face...

This was an interesting little experiment. One of my knights decided to use his copywriting and marketing skills to sift through millions of women online to try and find “the one.” In the process the whole kit and caboodle went viral. He got invitations to appear on Dr. Phil... and THOUSANDS of haters (mostly women) came out of the woodwork. Some even threatened to kill him! (Those should have been moved to the top of the dating list, in my opinion. ’Cuz they most certainly would NOT...

I’ve done some crazy stuff in the past. Hell, I’m doing crazy stuff NOW. At first, I told myself it was to open my mind. So I could become a better copywriter. A better musician. A better composer. Free from the self-hate. One who can tap into a deeper, more creative power. But now... it’s for different reasons. Reasons I’m still not able to properly enunciate. At least not in a way mortal minds can grasp. I want something more. Something higher. To reach a higher l...

A few people who are experts at that stuff say I’m really good at it. Some even say I’m a master. I never correct them... but many days... actually MOST days, I highly doubt that.

Secrets Of High Ticket Selling with Matthew Gillogly

A few years ago I decided to try selling a high priced coaching program. My sales copy did a great job of getting people to set up a phone call with me to learn about my coaching dealy-bop. Because I’ve gotten pretty darn good at selling in print. And on websites... in emails, etc. But when I got on the phone with these pre-qualified and highly motivated prospects... I screwed it all up and converted very few. Because I didn’t know how to sell on the phone. Especially high-ticket stu...

I’ve never heard ANYBODY say this. EVER. I literally stopped breathing for a few seconds when I heard it. And it changed my life in an instant. REALLY. Because this problem has taunted me my entire life. Actually, “taunted” doesn’t even come close to describing it. “Torture” is the more appropriate word. Because this issue has driven me to my knees. To the point of seriously considering ending my own life. Several different times. So yeah... this was a big frickin’ deal to me....
