I trusted them to get it right and initially there were a few little problems but they were mainly related to software that I was using on the Mac where the software manufacturer hadn't updated fast enough.

As expected those issues were resolved.

One thing that was a change, was the way Lion made me use the mouse.

It was opposite to the action on the PC, on the previous version of the Apple operating system, and opposite to what I had been doing for as long as I'd ever used a mouse.

Naturally I got a lot of messages from people who were talking about it, complaining about it, wondering why Apple would do something that seemed completely opposite to what was natural.

My response to those people was the same... 'Don't you think Apple knows more than we do about what's best for us?'

Sure, they could have got it wrong, but based on history I would be willing to bet my life savings on the fact that the people at Apple know their stuff better than me and I started using the 'backwards' mouse because I thought that's what I should be doing.

I put my trust in a higher place.

In a few days it certainly was the natural way to use the mouse and all those years of using it like a PC mouse, evaporated as I was doing something better.

They were right.

I though they would be.

Now, when I get on a PC and use the PC mouse... that's the one that feels foreign to me.
It seems backwards.

After all those years, almost overnight, something better comes along and without that higher knowledge I would never have known.

I've paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for advice, information, training, etc on and offline.

I've invested in 'higher knowledge' because that is how I gain my expertise.

I wasn't born an Internet Marketer.

I wasn't born a salesman.

I wasn't born rich.

Actually I was born rich - not in money but in a desire to do well at whatever I did.

So enough about me because this newsletter is all about you.

I know you've probably already invested money in 'higher knowledge'

Learning from people who have already done what you want to do whether that is from me or someone else.

Sometimes some of the things you might learn aren't what you would expect, because that's what learning is all about....

Learning something new or different.

Just like the Apple mouse.

Sometimes it might even seem completely opposite to what you would expect.

Sometimes you just need to have faith in people and information you can trust and do it for long enough to understand that it was the best thing to do.

At the end of the day you make the choices but just make sure your choices aren't made on what you know already when what you might not know might be the biggest life changer ever.

I know that a lot of people on this list have invested in life changing information already.

I know because of the sales of those products and what those products can do for you.

Some of that information might seem strange.

Some of it might seem like it won't work.

Trust me - it's only strange if you don't know it isn't.

It only seems like it won't work because it hasn't done so for you yet, but it will.

It will work and it won't seem strange when the cash comes in.

It's happening all the time for many people who have taken the plunge and invested their trust and money in their future.

It's the start of another week...

I can show you a way to make an easy $100k in a very short time but it's unlikely that anyone I show will be able to succeed.

Here's why...

A lot of the products that people promote, even showing proof that they work, will ONLY WORK IF there is something else in place in the first place and that 'something else' is often more than virtually everyone else can achieve (at least in the short term)

Sure there are fast ways to make money in a short time but those short ways have had a massive effort to get to where they can make that money.

Let's look at a familiar business model as an example - The Product Launch.

We all know that a product launch can generate a huge sum of money in the period of a few days or a week, but we also all know that you can't do a product launch without a lot of work prior to the launch, including the creation of a product

One product launch we did (non-IM Niche) took 3 months to get ready - 3 months of a lot of work and yes it did make a lot of money really fast but only because of all the work and preparation that was done prior to the date it went live.

This is important because I could show you proof of income (I won't because it's irrelevant) and most people would think 'Wow that's fantastic I will buy the training that shows me how to do that' when in fact I would have to show you so much more to replicate that proof.

More than you could do on your own (yes we got a lot of help and yes we paid a lot of money for that help) and more than you would probably want to do.

That's why I focus on stuff that I know you can and will do (if you genuinely want to succeed) and even though it is the stuff that is tedious, it's also the stuff that will make you rich at the end of the day and continue to put money in your pocket consistently.

So this is a WARNING on investing your time into stuff that won't deliver you the results.

Don't Do It.

I mentioned TIME because losing that is more important than losing the $27-$97 you paid for some cheap training.

The money isn't the problem - it's losing your precious time that could be devoted to something that might be boring but will get CASH.

Have a great day

The first one was a message that someone had refunded a course that could have changed their life.

My thoughts? A 'loser' decided to throw away a safe, proven road to financial freedom, and potential BIG monthly income or they decided to keep the training and get their money back as well (i.e. steal it)

It wasn't one of my products but it was a product that I recommended simply because it was so good.

Now - I did say that was my instant thought and it is quite possible that they did actually have a very real reason for doing so - whatever... I'm not really interested because we all make choices and that's what life is all about.

The second message I got was through my help desk from a subscriber of mine and I've attached a screenshot of the message below, covering up his surname and the niche product that he promoted (you'd be very surprised at what the product is but in the interest of keeping his income stream secure it won't be revealed)

Here's the message he sent...

Nick is a winner and he gave me permission to show people his message in the hope that it would help others do what he did and what he will continue to do as his business and income keeps growing and he creates the lifestyle he deserves.

That is the breakthrough point where, even though you know it works, and you know that many other people are doing exactly what you have been doing and making a lot of money from it - you've just proved to yourself (and often friends and family) that it is easy to make money online with a Proven System.

There's nothing quite like achieving your own success as motivation to move forward and really build a genuine and consistent income.

That happens with consistency in doing what needs to be done first.

I've trained people and other people like Andrew Hansen have trained people with similar methods - But only the people themselves, who have the drive to reach breakthrough point, get to experience the same lifestyles we enjoy.

ANYONE Who Really Wants to do this CAN!

YOU can do this if you want to, but only if YOU want to and not if you want someone else to do it for you because in business there's only room for those who take action to succeed.

In all the years I've been online I've never refunded a product because every one of them taught me something, even if it was the fact that a bloody good sales letter got me to spend money on crap

I call that an idiot tax because I was stupid to buy the product.

Fortunately for you I continue to buy thousands of dollars of products all the time and you don't have to pay the idiot tax on anything I recommend.

So look at that image above and know that you can get results like that and more, on a daily basis is you don't give up before the winning post.

Just Don't Allow Yourself to FAIL!

Have a great day...

Take Niche Money Makers for a Test Drive

I've told many people in business this same statement...

Just because you've got a round hole don't go looking for a round peg.

It might be a lot more productive to get a square peg and look for the square holes.

Confused?

No worries - let me explain.

Let's say you have some website content that you paid a lot of money for.

You have a business plan that you know will work because it's working for a lot of other people and has already been proven.

Now - you can see that the content you have doesn't really fit in with the plan that you know you should be following.

What should you do?

Here's the answer...

That content is the same as the round hole.

You've got the hole but you haven't got a peg to fit it.

Don't look for something to fit it.

Don't worry about the hole - it's the wrong hole.

In fact it's no better than a hole in a bucket because no matter what you do all your effort will leak out that hole and you will go nowhere.

What you need to do is kick the bucket

Get rid of that round hole.

Find what you really need to be using and use it where you need to be using it.

That thing you might need to be using might be a square peg and no matter how often you stick that square peg into the round hole the bloody bucket it going to keep leaking because they weren't planned for one another.

Now, after doing a little bit of research, based on information from someone who knew what they were talking about, you find that the square peg they gave you actually fits in the square hole that they showed you how to find.

And when you stuck that square peg in the square hole and turned it, just as they told you to do, it opened a vault of treasures.

Isn't that better than trying to plug a leaky bucket?

Sure it is because NOW you can use the treasures from the vault to get a bucket without holes and fill it with the treasures you got from putting the square peg in the right place.

If you think all this is crazy talk from nutcase Kiwi marketer then you're half right because I am a bit strange but I can assure you that this makes sense because it is all about something that can make or break you...

CHOICES

Every day you log on to your computer you make choices.

Choices to do what you should be doing or not.

Choices to use stuff that is genuinely worth working at or not.

Choices of who to listen to.

Choices of what to believe.

Just because you have something in your hand right now, doesn't make it a good choice for you.

Just because you spent money on something that you shouldn't have spent your money on, doesn't make it a good choice to try to make that something fit.

If you have a website that doesn't fit with your plan, don't try to make it fit BECAUSE IT WON'T.

And finally... if someone is trying to sell you shiny big holes where it looks like the sun is on the other side, ask someone you trust first whether it's actually a torch and the battery is about to go flat.

Have a great day
Geoff

If you're concerned about how you sound DON'T BE - that's not a good enough excuse to not use this.

Even funny sounding people can get excited

Seriously - this will help you to make more money and people always sound better to others than they assume they sound to themselves.

It's just a self confidence thing that holds back many people from doing a LOT better than they should be.

And as always... the more you do it the faster and better you get at it.

The reason they're not quite getting there is in the message and I can assure you that the 'tipping point' is actually a place that is really very easy to get to and is generally just around the next corner provided you're on the right road.

While this message was directed towards Unstoppable Affiliate Members (because they have the roadmap) it is applicable to any online business so you can apply it to whatever you're doing right now if you're currently following some business plan.

This is an important message... WHY?

Because it is SO Important that you keep doing what you're doing long enough to get what you should be getting.

(excuse the language)

Here's the truth...

There is no such thing as a perfect squeeze page because what is
good in one market is useless in another.

There is no optimal place to put the images, the optin, the text
or anything else unless you're talking about one specific market
and all the testing has been done in that market.

We test and track a lot and I can say from years of testing that
each market is unique.

Some markets work better with video, some with audio, some with
images and some with text.

A good squeeze page is one that presents a benefit for the viewer
that is so compelling that they are prepared to give you their
name and email address in return for something.

As you can see - the factors that can be replaced into those
requirements are ENDLESS.

The way to attract the attention of a finance professional is far
different to that of a tattoo designs buyer.

How will you know whether you've created the perfect squeeze
page?

Without testing it's virtually impossible but for most people
testing isn't something that will ever get done so just use the
one guideline I mentioned above...

'Present a Benefit that is So Compelling your visitor will give
you their name and email address in return for Something of
Value'

Ask yourself the questions...

What is the most compelling benefit you can offer?
What do your visitors want the most?
What is something they will think is really valuable?
What will you give them?

When your squeeze page answers all those questions you've got a
good one.

Keep the message simple
Make the process easy
Don't make people think too hard because most people go through
life without thinking too much anyway

And finally - when you have created the perfect squeeze page for
your visitors in your market based on your testing... some people
still won't optin because.....

Nothing is ever perfect

If you're struggling to get stuff done: 80% is more than enough

Have a great day
Geoff
