To find out our needs Lee collected questions from his readers and in “Six Months of Magic” you have his honest answers.

He wants to share with you the filling of being a beginner, the pros and cons of Internet Marketing, Web 2.0 free traffic, and the model he creates for his business. He also tells us how much we can automate this process.

Like everybody else the beginning was glum, no subscribers, no products, no JV partners, not even skills to write a good sale copy. The outcome was full of failures, and flops.

But it was a flame up there for him:
  • A determination and desire to succeed
  • A willingness to analyze and admit what was wrong and what was right
  • An action taking attitude
  • And as a result he overcame the learning curve which lighted up the torch and made visible the end of the tunnel.

I think in the top-right Conner of his PC Screen was a small cherub saying: 10 miles to go, 9 miles to go, 8 miles to go… they smile at each other from time to time, and he was able to keep going. He was unstoppable on his way to success!

He had a turning point in his struggle, and as soon as he used this golden rule the situation changed dramatically.

Instead to sell, sell, sell as gurus use to encourage the beginners, he concentrated on creating massive value, and gave away this value.

He gains the trust of his readers which is the key point in on-line marketing and the success begins to surface.

Starting with nothing, in the first 30 days he managed to earn $7,230.95 and grow up to 20,000 per month in a year. The success was sweet but he started to create a system, a model for his future work:
  • Find a hungry market
  • Create a low priced or FREE high value report or eBook
  • Build a relationship with his very small list
  • Make a profit at the backend with a bigger value product
The benefits:
  • Hiscustomers was delighted with free or low price Report (step 2) because of the value he presented
  • They wanted to hear more about this strange and un-orthodox marketer
  • When OTO was presented at the backend, a good percentage bought the OTO, because he created the necessary curiosity, and he offered an even better value.
He is not writing a recipe for success. He just presents a summary of practical actions he uses to get from zeros to success, actions you can replicate as well:
  • Concentrate in just one project at a time
  • Focus on your work eliminating distractions
  • Give real value on each step of the model
  • Don’t give up at the first bumpy road
  • Avoid information overload
  • Take action; remember "It's not the sword that wins the battle. It's the warrior who's wielding".
The best learning is coming from your own mistake if you admit that you a human who make mistakes, but is very, very time consuming.

Reviling his experience for free he hopes to cut corners for thousands of readers and make them achieve success in a shorter time.

You know there is a lot of fuss about Web 2.0 and driving free traffic with it.
He tells you the limitations and the juicy stuff as well.
In a nut shell – it is time consuming, but if you do it right, you create a process in which a lot of people will participate and drive traffic to you. And the beauty is, the process is in autopilot, out of your hand and will continue to work for you in the future.

Enjoy the reading is coming from experience, from Lee’s sole and from his desire to help you as much as he can.

Lee McIntyre Newsletter Review

Hello! this is Michishor2 - Lee McIntyre Newsletter Review

I always like to look back and see: what was working, what wasn’t working, what I did wrong, and, YES, what I did right. If I don’t learn from my past actions, I don’t know what to correct, and I don’t know how to shape my future plans.

STEP 1: When I started to do Internet Marketing, I booked 2 BIG Seminars (cost me thousands of dollars). They were good seminars according with the standards, what they revealed was right and true, but the knowledge was incomplete.
At home when I started to apply I discovered a lot of gray areas I know nothing about them. The old slogan: “if I did it you can do it too”, it was actually an empty promise without to reveal all the work details. The people are not equal in knowledge, abilities, and ambitions.

STEP 2: I did Internet Research; I bought all the e-books which I found to be related with the subjects of my interests.

STEP 3: After reading 10-15 e-books, when I had to make a plan for my actions, I had a complete block out. Especially for beginners, the overload of information is not always good, it can be rather confusing, trust me - it is true.

Step 4: Then a said, must be an easy way to start. I was sure that after a right start, the rest will follow naturally. I begin to read Articles, Newsletters, comments in Forums.
In this type of media the writers are less stiff, and the conversation is more natural and down the earth. The readers can participate commenting and this simple fact makes writers to be more honest.

This was how I discovered Lee’s Newsletter Website.
It was something about his style, he was a human being, not a guru, he was very organized, very enthusiastic, and he didn’t brag for the sake of bragging. He always offered reasons why, examples, made logic references. Later I discovered that he was a teacher, and I recognized the manners of a very good teacher.

As soon as I found out some unorthodox ideas I was caught on reading because I was curious, he definitely distanced himself from the crowd!
Examples:
How many people told you “the money is in the list”, implying that you have to have a huge list to be successful. Lee tells us “the money is not in the list, is in the relationship you build with your potential customers from your list”. You can create huge earnings from a small list as well.

Lee posted in his blog 28 Marketing Tools that he use daily bases and they are FREE for everybody to use it.

I learn that it is a big difference between marketing aggressively from time to time, and doing dishonest marketing, “doing whatever it takes to close a selling deal”.

Lee is an open mind. In one of Newsletters he discusses: why 95% of people who try Internet Marketing and up failing, why the technique of “faking it until you make it” is not working anymore. And so on.

The best benefit for me was: “don’t cut and paste somebody else “advice”, letter, emails, landing page. Distance to the crowd being you, be original, don’t brag, and just show results.” WOW! he was right!

I paid so much attention to Lee McIntyre comments in his Newsletters because I had to find an honest answer for a crucial question, and I had the filling that I got my answers.
The question was:
How a beginner who doesn’t have gazillion success stories, testimonials etc. can penetrate the brick wall if Internet Marketing. If you are there it is easier to maintain the status, but what you should do to get there, in the first place. Please notice that I said the wall is a brick wall!

Other great benefit: I was convinced that the old methods didn’t work now. Lee opens my eyes: that means it is a huge opportunity right now for marketers to understand the process, and do Internet Marketing the right way.

To be honest, I have to correct my impulse of doing work in a hurry; I learn to be patient and to do consistent work to reach my success.

Some time I was unhappy that the answers coming from Lee’s helpdesk are not in the time frame I expect, but I learn to live with it, because he is mentoring a huge crowd.
I develop the skills of researching myself to find answers in the vast materials he offers in Standing Start Profit or Lee McIntyre Newsletter, and this worked on my advantage.

In a nut shell:
  • Be you, don’t copy others emails, bragging style, pre-sell technique
  • Treat people like you like to be treated by others
  • Deliver amazing content, the product must be pack full of value
  • The magic bullet is not a huge list; it is the relationship you build with your list
  • Treat affiliates with excellent and generous manners, these are people whom you share there assets to build your own success
  • Set clear goals for the future and then work hard to achieve them
  • YES, I changed my habits of doing business and I have changed my life.

Welcome message from Michisor2

Hello World!

This is Michisor2 and this is my new Blog.

For a good reason, the Blog will be dedicated to reviewing the best relevant sites. As you know, we are leaving in an information overload era, it is so much to read, browse, absorb even if you quit your job to do only Internet Research, 24 hours is not enough.

What I will review will be only Websites I use, know and appreciate the value and doing so, I hope, I’ll save a lot of time for you and I’ll make easy for you to separate the weeds.

This is an interesting fact I want to share with you now. It is coming out from “Online Publishers Association Internet Activity Index” (2007).

The average time surfers gave to each of these four activities are as follow:
  • Content – Sites that provide news, information and entertainment, 45.5%.
  • Engaging in Communications 33.7%
  • eCommerce (shopping) 16.2%
  • Searching for information – sites that provide results based on user-generated requests. 5%

It is clear that “Content is the king”, and this is also what Google is looking for ranking.

I really hope good sites reviews will help people, economies research time, find relevant Sites and build confidence.

Until next time

Regards
Michisor2
