You ever get off the phone with someone and just feel like you can rule the world?

Well, I did when I interviewed Todd Brown the other day. this guy is the master. He call’s himself a self-proclaimed “knucklehead” (that’s a technical term by the way), but I can assure you he’s far from it. In my eyes he’s someone to listen and take notes from - Todd knows his stuff.

Anyhow, I spent an hour on the phone with Todd and we talked about everything from building businesses NOT incomes, front-end & backend marketing, and the types of businesses that Todd builds for long-lasting income.

I’m a big fan of Todd and give much credit to him helping me “see the light.” So grab a pen, a pad of paper, download this call and take some serious notes.

Let me know what your biggest takeaway from the call is by leaving me a comment.

thanks,

Chris

P.S. I’m going to be offering some killer bonuses for Jeff Walkers Product Launch Formula so keep your eyes peeled for Monday!

So you’ve hired a website designer, but want to CYA. A great way to do that is to give them a ‘work-for-hire’ agreement prior to signing the contract.

The Definition:

work for hire - A type of agreement in which the writer or designer sells the complete rights to a work to a publisher.

You know I’ve been thinking. forget abotu making money fast, I want to make money slowly.

I just got Pablo’s Program and I gotta tell you - now I know how to make money as slow as possible.

At Rich’s Strategic Profits seminar I met some amazing people with some great product launch stories. One of those amazing product launch stories was from Ryan Wade. Ryan ending up doing a killer product launch for his website MentorMeetings.com - he pulled in over $12,000 in, and I quote Ryan, “a couple of minutes.”

Ryan is a young, smart, and very intelligent marketer. He’s a guy that’s going places.

Take a listen to Ryan product launch story…

At Rich’s event I had the privilege to interview Jon Walker, Jeff Walker’s brother and business partner in Product Launch Formula 2. I grilled Jon about the differences with Product Launch Formula 1 and 2. It’s pretty crazy to think but the original PLF came out in 2005.

It’s now 2008 and there have been thousands of launches all with different tactics, tricks, and persuasion techniques. I’ve used many in my launches and clients launches and have seen some crazy new techniques over the years that have helped pull in hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars.

Anyhow, here’s the interview with Jon.

Oh yea, one of the workers at the hotel was taping down the floor so you can hear the “rippppping” noise. No, it’s not me or Jon farting, although it sounds like it.

Also, let me know what you thought of the interview by leaving me a super-duper killer comment below.

Product Launch Formula 2.0 - Jon Walker Interview from chris brisson on Vimeo.

At the Strategic Profits Conference I got to meet some great people and one outstanding person I met was Trevor Mauch. Trevor actually won his trip to the conference by leaving a blog post for the contest on Rich’s blog. I ended up meeting two other guys who won the trip. (I’m going to enter all of them next time around)

Anyhow, I did a short quick interview with Trevor on my Flip Camera. He talks about how he implemented a quick little product launch for a client and pulled an easy $800 with like zero list. Watch the interview here:

Product Launch Formula 2.0 is coming out soon. I’m going to be giving some KILLER bonuses away to the people who order form me. I recently started a Product Launch Consulting Company and have helped many people see some dramatic results. I will be giving away some consulting time as a bonus. You’ll hear about it soon.

See how one guy went from Food Stamps to Six Figures using Jeff’s Product Launch Formula.

Hey everyone,

I’m writing this from Orlando at Rich Schefren’s Strategic Profits event and good lord is this a killer conference. Back in July 2007, I went to Rich’s event here in Delray and that rocked my world, but this is by far one of the best conference that I’ve ever been to.

I left Sunday morning pretty early in the morning, like 5:30am, and arrived in Orlando at around 7am. you know, everytime I come to Orlando I get lost and end up paying an extra $10 in tolls because of all of the wrong turns.

Anyhow, I got to the hotel and instantly felt the energy from the people in the room. I began to meet entrepreneurs and business owners from all over. Some people who I’ve heard before or knew from seeing them on the web. (”on the web” sounds like were’re in 1996)

So the day started out going right to Frank Kerns’ presentation for his Mass Control students. It was funny, since I was so early I struck up a conversation with a cool guy Mick from the UK and Chris from Canada. After that conversation, I knew the weekend was going to rock.

Frank Kern’s Mass Control Presentation

So I took a seat and 5 minutes later, Frank “the dude” Kern walks in with a surf t-shirt, jeans, and sandals. He said, “All right, all-right, all-right.” that’s the line Matthew McConaghey said in the movie, Dazed and Confused. I knew I was in the right place.

I can’t go into the presentation but I’ll give you one tidbit…

“Find the CORE of your market.”

After Frank’s presentation, he was instantly bombarded by the huge crowd in the room. So instead of talking to Frank, Jeff Walker, the creator of Product Launch Formula 2.0 was standing alone, so I decided to chat with Jeff. We chatted for a couple of minutes and exchanged cards.

What a cool dude. (nice meeting you Jeff)

Here’s the speech from Frank’s Speech (not his Mass Control speech)

Rich Schefrens’ Presentation

Man, Rich truly knows how to build a business. Everytime I hear him speek I’m always blown away with his thoroughness in each marketing piece he puts together.

Rich went over his entire business and how he went from ZERO to an 8-Figure business in less than 18 months. He talked about each marketing piece he gave away over this time: Internet Marketing Manifest, The Missing Chapter, The Final Chapter, Startup To Freedom, and the many other FREE info he gave away.

It’s that time of year that you get to reflect and look back on the past year and either say, “What the hell did I do?” or “Wow, that was awesome!”

I’m in the “Wow, that was awesome” category. 2007 was a great year. A year of connections. A year of establishing a brand for myself. A year of ideas. A year knowing that I can do anything.

But this year is going to be a little different…

This year is going to be about challenges and missions. A challenge to test marketing ideas and concepts.
Let me ask you a question.

Have you ever started your day not knowing what you were going to do to grow your business?

Have you ever wanted to know the results form different marketing strategies and techniques?

If yes, then great! Because starting next week I’m going to put a new marketing strategy to the test and share my results. I want you to join me with each marketing strategy.

The reason: When I have a mission or when I challenge myself to something, I find myself doing whatever it takes to complete the mission. I need to have that sense of accomplishment for that project. You may be the same way.

To take part in the Marketing Missions:

• Blog about the mission by linking back to this post with the anchor text of: “Social Marketing Blog” 
• Leave a comment on this post with the link to your post about this contest.

Ok, so stay tuned for next week’s Mission.

Later,

Chris

I get this question ALL of the time…

“How do I drive traffic?”

Well, it’s quite a broad topic because there are literally thousands of ways to drive people to your website. But using video is the easiest and the cheapest. It’s actually free when you use YouTube and the other sites.

Here’s my story on why and how it’s so freakin’ easy to drive people to your website…

So today I was looking for videos for my new FaceBook group, “I bet I can find 1,000,000 people who want $1 Million Dollars” and I came across this video on YouTube. First off, the video has received well over 37,000 views!

Now you may be saying ok, it must be some good content… NO!

It’s a video of this person going over a TMZ report on how Chris Crocker is being sued for $1 Million Dollars. Folks, it’s a 1:07 video of NOTHING! But it got 37,000 views and counting!

Ok so what’s the strategy?

It’s well known in the public relations field. It’s called “Piggybacking.” Piggybacking is when you “piggyback” off of a current event and tie it into your marketing message. By capitalizing on current events you can gain HUGE amounts of traffic to your website.

Your Mission:

Look at the current events everyday. Create a 1 to 2 minute video on that current event and tie it into your marketing.

Use Camtasia. Windows Movie Maker. Upload to all the video sites using TubeMogul.com and watch your traffic numbers and sales soar!

It’s as easy as farting. No joke. Try it sometime. The video, not the fart.

Ok, if you like the post, leave me a comment… I’m out

Cheers,

Chris

Here’s the cheesy video that’s driving tons of views.
