The End Is Neigh!

MARKETING ARMAGEDDON

Is Upon Us!

I’m typing these words to you on the last day of 2011.

In less than 24 hours 2012 will begin (at least on the East Coast) and what some think is the end of the world.

From where I stand, the end of the world has already come.

I just did a search for Armageddon in my dictionary on my MacBook Pro. Here’s what it said:

Ar•ma•ged•don |ˌärməˈgedn|
noun

  • (in the New Testament) the last battle between good and evil before the Day of Judgment.
  • a biblical hill of Megiddo, an archaeological site on the plain of Esdraelon, south of present-day Haifa in Israel. See also Megiddo .
  • the place where the last battle between good and evil will be fought.
  • a dramatic and catastrophic conflict, typically seen as likely to destroy the world or the human race: : nuclear Armageddon.ORIGIN Greek, from Hebrew har mĕgiddōn ‘hill of Megiddo’ (Rev. 16:16.)

I’m interested in the 3rd explaination of Armageddon:

The place where the last battle between good and evil will be fought.

Once upon a time, people taught marketing.

Smart Entreprenuers learned marketing.

Some of us got obsessed.

But as you probably already figured out – as the economy has gotten worse and worse… there have been less and less people teaching good marketing… and more and more people teaching “How To Get Money With No Work!” Bullshit.

I, unfortunatley, broke down, and I started to position my good marketing training as “How To Make Money With No Work”…

Mostly because a TON more people bought my stuff.

AND as a result, I attracted tens-of-thousands of customers that I didn’t want.

If you want to make a ton of money with no work – and you actually believe that is possible, then I have bad news.

ListBuilding.com is not for you.

There are 3 and exactly 3 ways that you can grow your business (according to Marketing Legend Jay Abraham).

  1. Increase the number of customers
  2. Increase the average transaction value
  3. Increase the number of transactions per year

So, Here’s what we have planned for you with ListBuilding.com in 2012.

  • Creator of N-POD and personal mentor: Joshua Shafran
  • Creator of The Marketing Letter: Jonathan Mizel
  • Founder of Pirahna Marketing: Joe Polish
  • The Man Behind “Cheese & Wiskers” & Inventor of The Squeeze Page: Dean Jackson
  • And many more yet to be released markteing outliers…

These are the best of the best, both living and dead, marketing guinesses to have ever graced this earth.

For these people, marketing is art.

It’s a way of life.

It’s the ultimate channel for creativity, that drives dollars into bank accounts because Marketing Helps People.

I received your email for the first training audio session (9 minutes and 30 seconds). “Subject: 1st degree (1 of 9)”.

Clicking any hyperlink in email brings me to this signup page. Do I need to jump through any hoops to get access to it? :)

We had a totally weird thing happen with our Cold Fusion server.

For some reason, it reset the links on the blog to make all the links go back to the sign-up page.

Stand by. We’re working to get it fixed right now. I’ve never seen something like this happen with a blog before…

It must be the end of the world!

Hi Tellman,

Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. If you ever want to spend sometime looking over the wee medieval village I live in, Culross, in Scotland, you would always be welcome. Maybe you could do a promo film with a difference. Parts of Cpt America, 39 Steps and I think a film called Zomdom will be shot there too. Good Luck!

Tellman- I believe you’re honest and sincere, but this whole listbuilding thing seems to me a way to shovel the next make-money-online products at subscribers, whether you can personally attest to the legitimacy of the product or not. Like you build/cultivate a list, subscribe to the next product launch as an affiliate, and email blast it out to the list. Seems a little unethical to me, since I can’t validate the effectiveness of the products I’d be pitching. Please let me know if maybe I’m missing the point, since I have no product and/or service of my own to promote to a customer base, and was only interested in affiliate marketing. All my best to you and your family for a Happy New Year.

JoshBurns

Hey Tim – I can weigh in on this:

Ask yourself: Is Amazon.com unethical when they send you emails suggesting other products you’ll probably want to buy? How about when a business you’ve bought from before sends you an email about a big sale or new product offering or new partnership?

There are literally THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of ways you can use email marketing to fuel your profits in any business – and beyond profit there are likewise tons of ways to use email to raise money for good causes and charities.

Email marketing is a very powerful tool for getting attention and getting people to take action.

We think that (at least right now) it’s the most powerful tool online.

In short, to answer your question – no – we don’t expect anyone to go chasing hot product launches in the biz-opp space. We’re here to show you how to use email as a tool to connect with your tribe and grow your business.

I hope that makes sense, and sorry for the longwinded reply ;-)

-Josh Burns

Hi Josh,
Good answer. I have a thirst for knowledge but more important that that I am here to make friends. With every transaction I ever have I always try and thank people personally for the sale. Even thought the transactions are too small at the moment I always try and do this just because I will never ever take a customer for granted.

Sending lots of emails out I have found upsets some people but I guess that that is part of success. You win friends and you loose some it just goes with the territory and if you cant stand the heat get out the kitchen and all the other cliché I can think of right now.

I have to admit sometimes as a Entrepreneur i feel a little isolated and neglected. Banks are not interested and it is always a chicken and egg scenario but it is nice to know I am not alone in my quest for glory and there is help out there.

Really appreciate this and want to thank you from the bottom of my somewhat stressed but passionate heart that refuses to throw in the towel

Tellman

Hey Timothy,
I think you’ve been listening to the wrong people.

ListBuilding is more about helping a group of people you care about deeply (and are part of) get from Where they are to where they want to be faster and easier.

It’s the same as teaching your local community to bake bread.

Or…

Being a teacher to a group of small children and teaching them how to read.

or…

Being a Priest, Minister or Preacher and teaching your church members how to lead better lives.

ListBuilding lets us help people all around the world to do what they want to do already – only you are taking the responsibility to be their leader – and you get paid to take that higher level of responsibility.

I hope that makes sense. Don’t worry – all will be revealed in the next lesson.

SHABAMBO!
