I’ve never been a great writer. I had an extremely rough time with English classes in college. Math, it wasn’t a problem. A’s and B’s all around. But writing to me is torture…
You see, I can write sales copy. It may take me a couple of days or weeks and a major loss of hair, but it gets done. Not a great done, but done. One thing I discovered is, there’s people out there that can write killer sales copy so give the job to them.
The other night for 2 days straight I was literally glued to my computer to 3am each night slaving away trying to write copy for a client I’m helping launch a product. It wasn’t until I finally said, “ENOUGH!” that I turned to a good friend of mine to whip it out…
Rachel Rofe. She doesn’t talk much in crowds, but when she does she’s got A LOT to say. If you talk about marketing or copy she’s takes the stage… she’s good. She’s who many well known marketers and well known entrepreneurs turn to for copy. A couple of months ago she was in Womens World, it’s a monthly or weekly magazine that’s in just about every grocery store in the country. Not for her copywriting, but for one of her membership sites.
Anyhow, so to write a simple sales letter would take me maybe 2 weeks, Rachel try 2 hours. She blew me away with how fast she whipped it out.
So I’m writing this plug my friend, Rachel. She’s done a lot for me and she the one person I turn to for copy advise.
So if you need a GREAT and FAST copywriter, buzz Rachel. They call her the master blaster. She’ll hook you up.
Some cool stuff coming soon when things start slowing down.
On Thursday Justin and I flew into LAX airport to goto Frank Kern’s Mass Control event here in San Diego. Although the event is in San Diego, I figured I’d get a plane ticket in L.A. so then we can make the “cool” drive over to Diego.
What a great idea!
You see, I live in Florida. Yes, flat, landscape deprived, Florida. When I use to drive to Florida State in Tallahassee (i can finally spell it right), it would take me 6 hours to drive there. I’d fill up in Delray and stop in Gainsville to some gas.
On the way up is …well … pretty boring. There’s not much to see. Occasionally you’ll see, a Turnpike station pop up with a Popeyes Chicken or the illustrious Cinnabon. Other than that you’re looking at a lot of tree and flat ground. The only “hilly” place when making the drive is in “Howie-In-The-Hills.” There’s one bump in the road. It’s about a 15 foot bump and probably the highest elevation in Florida.
Ok enough about Florida because California…
Is All It’s Cracked Up To Be!
I’m sitting here in Carlsbad (about 20 minutes north of San Diego) looking at some million dollar mansions in the hills. Here’s my view…

It’s beautiful!
When Justin and I were making the drive from L.A. to here, I can honestly say that the views and landscape were like crack for my eyes. The mountains, the homes, the ocean views (OMG!), the street performers, the fish tacos, the breaks… everything is amazing.
I’ve lived in Florida my entire life and thinking to myself… “I can move here. I have an internet business.”
I’m going to be posting some more photos, videos, and other cool stuff along the way, but for now I gotta jump in the shower and get ready for Kern’s Mass control my mind event ALL day today.
So I have some websites that I’m going to be selling since I’m focusing on other my other businesses. Now, I’ve sold a business before and some sites before, but I’d like to hear your feedback on selling a website.
I’m listenening to Ed Dale’s Dominiche and I must say it’s pretty killer.
Have you sold any sites or businesses? What would you do different?

P.S. Oh yea, I just added Viddler’s Video comment plugin so when you leave me a comment, leave me a video comment.

So here’s the new design I made today. Took me about 4 hours just messing around. I know, I know… I should have outsourced it. I really wanted control of how the blog looked and wanted it now! (like the blueberry girl from Willy Wonka)
So… what do you think?

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…

I got started back in 2002 with zero marketing skills or understanding about business. I accidentally created an internet business from my college apartment in Tallahassee, FL. Built it up, sold it, but still had no knowledge of marketing. Went on a journey for discovering and learning "true" hardcore marketing principles. Over the years, built, developed, sold many internet businesses. Check out my bio for more info.
