No this is not some silly tactic to get you to read this
blog post. It appears that authorize.net ( http://auth.net )

has suffered from a fire in one of their facilities.
Here is the link to the news story on this tragic fire:
I hope that nobody was injured, because that
would be even more tragic.
The side effect from this is that hundreds of
people were not able to buy Easy Sales Formula
from about 4:00AM until now. And there is still
no sign of when they are going to be up and running…
It would be cool if Keith could set it up for paypal
for the last few hours, but a huge sale like this would
cause paypal to get antsy and shut his account down
before asking questions. That is usually how they do
things in the Paypal world.
Keith did say that when auth.net comes back up he
will honor the $497 price until midnight. But you
should check the auth.net site first to see if it is up
before you try and make the purchase, since you
would have to wait until they are operational before
you could finalize the transaction.
Sorry to have to give you bad news like that, but
I know you would want to know why your credit
card is declining when you try to make the purchase.
I just checked the twitter account that they set up
to keep people posted, and here is the last info they
had:
#authorizenet I understand transaction processing is
back up with the exception of Global processing.
We are working to bring that up ASAP.
Now Keith did not say anything about if authorize.net
does not come back up until after midnight, if he
would allow anyone else to buy after that time.
As of now he stated that midnight is the cutoff.
Just check every now and then, I am sorry that
this happened, but we don’t have control over
a lot of these things.
Have an amazing day!
Micheal

Over the past couple of weeks I have been following
the story of Sam Crowley, a former executive from a
Fortune 100 company whose life changed when…

After arriving home from work late one night (again),
his 3 year-old daughter asked him:

“Daddy, is tomorrow Saturday?

https://friday.infusionsoft.com/go/special/signup

That was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Right then Sam decided to take Massive Action
and change his life FOREVER.

He went on to quit his job and  pursue his passion of
helping others live the life of their dreams.

He now works for himself, and every day truly is
Saturday.

More importantly… he now spends EVERY DAY
with his family.

You can, too:

https://friday.infusionsoft.com/go/special/signup

He documented every step of the process he went
through, and has since helped thousands of people
via his top-rated motivational podcast to pursue their
dreams.

Sam’s new 6-CD audio program (and companion
workbook) “Six Days To Saturday” is designed to
help you reach your very own Saturday.

The feedback and testimonials are truly inspiring
and people all over the world are changing their
lives.

The “Six Days To Saturday” course  was designed
as a $997 product to be sold from stage, but Sam
is making a very limited number available for free
for the first 1,000 subscribers.

He just asks that you cover shipping and handling.

Over 500 have been claimed by people who
want more out of life… more family time… more
financial freedom and add their name to the long
list of people who have CHANGED their life as
a direct result of Sam’s course.

https://friday.infusionsoft.com/go/special/signup

There may not be much more time left to take
advantage of this… so I wanted to send this to
you ASAP.

Live Well!

Micheal

PS - I saw Sam Crowley speak at the Willie Crawford Birthday Bash this year, and he is the real deal!

What is up with this? Someone is telling you why you should NOT buy Easy Sales Formula? I don’t believe it, but this is an excerpt from an email I received today from Harris Fellman:

That’s right, I’m going to tell
you why you should *NOT* buy
Easy Sales Formula even though
13 people have already ordered
through my affiliate link to
get my kick-ass bonus.

The bottom line is, Easy Sales
Formula is actually *not* for
everyone. What ESF teaches you
is how to easily create a sales
video that you place onto a web
page INSTEAD of a big long written
sales letter.

So, if you’re really good at
writing long sales letters,
I’m thinking you may want to
not BUY Easy Sales Formula.

Personally, I’m half-way decent
at writing sales copy; but I’ve
found using Keith Wellman’s formula
to be the easiest thing I’ve ever
done to get great sales conversions.

It’s not really just about Video
versus Text though. Sure, Video
is popular right now - but for me
it’s about how much easier it is
to create a site designed to sell
my products, ya know?

I have some more reasons you should
NOT buy it as well… but first,
let me give you the link:

http://crosb.com/livekeith
(my link substituted… since
this is my blog)

So, that brings up another reason to
not Buy Easy Sales Formula…

Do not BUY Easy Sales Formula if you
don’t feel like you’ve got an idea of
what you’re going to do with it…

[Micheal here: If you have been watching the videos that Keith has been showing for the last 10 days, you should have at least ONE idea that you could put the product to work on! If you choose my bonus #2, I will create a video for you that you can use to drive traffic to for affiliate commissions. If you choose bonus #1, you can create your own sales video for the Membership Site, DVD course or whatever else you want to make with the Private Label Rights to my Video Workshop at Easy Selling Success. So that argument is blown out of the water...]

Also, don’t buy it if you’re not ready
to get a whole bunch of new customers.
Most people are surprised at how well
Keith’s Formula works … so, if you’re
not able to handle a bunch of new customers
(and the money that comes with it), then
do not buy ESF.

Hmmm, what else?

Those are the big ones, I would think.
If you’re great at writing long sales
copy or not ready for a bunch of new
customers. The creativity, I’ll personally
help you with.

Oh, I guess the final reason would be
if you truly can’t come up with $XXX.
(Price Hidden In Case It Goes Up By
The Time You Get There)

Although, I do believe in ESF so much
that I can confidently say *as long as
you truly use it, you’ll make that back*.
(Plus, it’s going to go up to $1997 soon - ugh)

I really recommend this to just about
everyone else - from new to seasoned.
It’s the easiest most POWERFUL product
that I’ve seen released this year.

It’s like your first project using
Easy Sales Formula almost creates
itself. So, if you’re not in either
of the two situations above, I say
BUY Easy Sales Formula right now -
you’ll be glad you did.

Keep Havin’ Fun!

Harris Fellman, CCM
Profitable Fun, Inc.

Now he makes a couple valid points. I will reiterate that if you need the money to pay rent, this is not the product to be spending your money on… pay your rent, save up and when Keith offers it again for $1,997, you may be in a better situation to make the purchase then.

But, if you are weighing the options of getting a part time job or increasing your income using the web, then you should put this on your credit card and hit the ground running! Follow everything that Keith teaches you. TAKE ACTION!

It is impossible to fail if you take action, learn from your mistakes and keep taking action! Eventually something you do will pay off! Just never stop learning!

Last Reason Not To Buy

If you don’t want to do anything yourself and you would rather pay someone else to do it for you… do not buy this, instead sign up for my Video Skinning Project and let me do the work for you, for the same price as the course, I will create and host 3 Video Skinning Project Sales Pages for three Clickbank Products of your choosing. I even split test them for increasing your results. Now if you buy any of the packages I offer in that video, you can get double the number of videos made for you if you buy Keith’s Easy Sales Formula, too!

Of course, if you decide to buy the product because it is essentially cheaper than my solution, you have me to help you. You can ask me questions, I am known to be very helpful when I am not biting the heads off of customers… Ok I am kidding. I don’t bite very often.

http://crosb.com/livekeith

You can ask some of the folks in my masterminds…

Have an amazing day!

Micheal Savoie

PS - Everything Harris and the rest of the Internet Marketing gang do and write about, we use to teach. This was an example of a reverse psychology type of review/post where you are curious why someone would tell you why you shouldn’t buy a product. Some are more blatant about it and some are downright rude about it.

You should never use negative marketing to get sales, like telling people that a product is a scam in your subject line to get them into your email or blog post. Not only is it against the terms of service of most product owners, it often leaves a bad impression with the market itself of the product, since many people do not read anything but the headlines and would mentally just file away the name of the product and scam together.

 30 Jun 2009 @ 5:52 PM 

The man of the hour is Keith Wellman, with a launch that plastered his name into the record books with a launch that had 30,000 people scraping their penny jars and cracking open their piggy banks to find the $1,997 that Keith was telling us his product was going to cost.

The launch began in a big way with Keith giving up a lot of free content, including one of his brainstorms of taking a clickbank product, creating a sales video for it and linking directly to the order button to make sales directly from your video! Sheer brilliance. Then he hosted an 8 hour Q & A live streaming broadcast where he bonded with his audience. Over the next few days he gave out even more content, including the recording of the Easy Sales Formula Workshop he had done for people who paid $4997 to attend.

The pressure cooker was up to the bioling point and the steam was trying to find a way to escape when the door flew open and the crowd rushed in to watch the sales page video that promised a big reveal: the price was not going to be $1,997 after all.

Well, the order buttons got clicked in a big way and Keith is getting very close to pulling the plug on this already, almost 6 hours into the selling process. But one thing still nags at Keith.

The people who had to be at work today will miss this, and he really doesn’t want to hurt the thousands who wanted to buy this product but for whatever reason did not make it to the sales page, but he knows that he can’t possibly leave it at such a ridiculous price, so he is raising the price… first by a couple hundred and then by more, so if you get there and it is back up to $1,297, you have been warned.

Google Goggles And Rose Colored Beer Bottles

When they told me about the Google Goggles that they were giving away, I thought to myself, you guys have been smoking some of that funny stuff haven’t you?

They noticed the strange look on my face and said, “What? We left the bong at home, bro, this is the real deal! You use this software to see your landing pages through Google’s eyes. It will tell you if your cost per click will be too high for the campaign to be worth pursuing!”

So take a look at it… It’s cool “ninja” level stuff, and it’s yours free (it normally costs about $150 bucks). . .

It’s good stuff that will make you money . . . and it doesn’t cost you a thing.

Long Day Eh? Try This Sneaky Email Trick To Double Sales…

Now that I have your attention.

Here is one of 13 Sneaky Email Tricks,
check out the other 12 at:

http://crosb.com/tricky

This one is my gift to you…

Fact: Only 20-30% of your list will EVER open any
email you send them EVER….the first time.

Ouch huh? Here is the big ah-ha.

Take the list of people who didn’t open your first
email and send them the SAME mail again the
next day with a different headline.

Just a different headline. Takes about two minutes.

It’s simple but powerful.

Look at the math from a recent promo my buddy
Perry Belcher just ran:

Mail #1 Generated 121 Sales
Mailed to Un-Opens #2 Generated 66 Sales
Mailed to Un-Opens #3 Generated 47 Sales

The Old Way = 121 sales at $97 = $11,737
The New Way = 234 sales at $97 = $22,698

Look, just a hair shy of DOUBLING his sales
and he only mailed my entire list once.

The people who opened the first mail never saw
the other 2 mails.

Here’s the bottom line…

Re-mailing un-opens really works. If you don’t
do this you must hate money.

DOUBLE! Did you hear that part?!

This is just ONE of 13 Sneaky Little Email Tricks
that are explained in depth in a new report that
Ryan Deiss and Perry Belcher just released

Check out 12 more “Sneaky Tricks” here:
http://crosb.com/tricky

Use all 13 of my sneaky tricks and you could
increase email revenues by 10 to 20 times.

To doubling email sales,

Micheal Savoie

P.S. These 13 tricks are currently being used by a
ton of “A” list marketers.

Now you can use the same strategies and get the same
results!

 29 Jun 2009 @ 10:37 PM 

I am looking forward to taking some time off later this summer.

I am mentally exhausted, because of some projects I have taken on, and it just seems like whatever direction I am going is adding even more to my plate. I know for sure that I will be taking a break, because I am not going to schedule anymore new projects until each of these has come to a reasonable conclusion.

Keith Wellman just announced that he has an announcement scheduled for tomorrow when he sends out the early bird notification about Easy Sales Formula. I have a sneaky suspicion that he is planning on offering a payment plan to really eliminate all of the excuses from the people who have been saying they want to buy it but that $1,997 was a little too hard to handle all at once! But you didn’t hear that from me.

The Dawn Of The Delaverian Era!

I helped John Delavera and Mark Joyner with their latest project by creating a video of the interview that Mark did with John Delavera, because Mark was totally amazed at the business ideas coming from the mind of John.  He was so amazed that he asked John to do a phone interview and then they arranged to have it transcribed and the transcript played on video to make it as easy for people to follow as possible.

Click Here To Watch The Video (Listen To The Interview & Read Along)

Free CD Market Test Finishes Tomorrow

The Direct Response Marketing Team is about ready to drop from exhaustion after their launch of the market test to see how receptive the market was to the power of offline AND online marketing combined in a powerful course.  The campaign was amazing, with three very well done and entertaining videos that showed the current state of affairs with email marketing alone.

http://easysellingsuccess.com/drmfree

The rate of people getting this product is incredible, with more people asking to get their free CD than they had originally envisioned! Not only that, but people are snatching up every offer (upsell, downsell and cross sell) that they have set up, because of the brilliance of the team of marketers that put this together!

Remember how many millionaires materialized after Product Launch Formula, Traffic Secrets and Butterfly Marketing? I predict we will see a huge wave of new 7 and 8 figure earners coming out of the woodwork by the fall of this year! All because these people took action on a free CD!

What Can The Tribe Do For Your Marketing?

Tomorrow morning at 11:00AM on Blogging With Micheal I will have a guest that will really make you excited, as J.P. Micek joins me for an hour of blog discussion as we talk about the rapidly changing world of affiliate marketing and tribal seduction techniques for making your audience truly yours.

J.P. is one of the founders of Blog I360, a hub site platform for rich media blogging that makes it easy to develop a network of webs all from the comfort of a single dashboard.  I will be asking him about the latest version of Wordpress and whether it was a little forced or if it was necessary to scare the bugs out into the open.

You can take a look at the Blog I360 platform here:

Finally - Alex Is Threatening To Close Down

Alex Jeffreys created a video that promises an awful lot. Basically, Alex is going to create a business for his new clients, set it up and teach them how to manage it so that they are making 100% of the money from it, but have done maybe 20% of the work… now that is my kind of program!

http://crosb.com/alex

If you like the kind of lifestyle that allows you to travel all over the world and work from your laptop every once in a while when you need a little infusion of cash, you should be watching the video that Alex will probably be taking down within the next 24 to 48 hours because of the sheer numbers of people who are signing up for his program (I thought people didn’t have any money…)!
