Short Movie About the Power of “Validation”
The principle of validation can take on many meanings in English or any other language.
The best definition I’ve come up with (as it relates to human potential) is this 10-word sentence: “A specific acknowledgment of appreciation for a task well done.”
But the most curious thing about validation is that it feels just as good to the person who does the validating as it does to the person who gets validated.
As a trainer and teacher, I feel the most validated if one of my students unexpectedly shows their appreciation by verbally acknowledging the time and effort I put into designing the tele-curriculum.
How and why they show their validation is important to me, but when the validator is specific about what they appreciate about my training, it makes me feel even better.

Prospect Pulling Power Utilizing Teleseminars
Let’s take a look at the powerful combination of article marketing and teleseminars, and the time your average prospect spends on each.
Web Page = 30 seconds.
When somebody comes to your website, that’s about all you have to get them involved in some way, and I’m being very, very generous when I say 30 seconds. Some studies say only 7 seconds.
Think about all the work that goes into a website, and you’re doing all that work for 30 seconds.
That’s a lot of work for 30 seconds.
Article = 5 minutes
One of the reasons why article marketing is so powerful is (more…)
Teleseminars + Twitter = BIG PROFITS
A year ago, Twitter was not as influencial as it is today … it amazes me how “tweets” drive so much B2B traffic. Who knew?
Click here to see what I’m talking about.
For the past 5 years, 1/5th of my income comes in during a 5-day period. Hey, I’m not complaining, but I’d prefer to “syndicate” my business revenue a little more in 2009.

The 3 “Marketing Paradoxes” Explained (Part 3)
In Part 1 of this Marketing Paradoxes three part series, you learned about the Paradox of Distribution which I defined as follows:
“You can’t get adequate distribution of a product until you’ve proven it can sell; but you can’t prove a product can sell until you’ve gotten adequate distribution in the market.”
In Part 2, you learned about the Paradox of Choice which I defined as:
“The more choices you have, the more paralyzed you become as a result of your inability to make clear buying decisions. The more indecisive you become, the less freedom you have in making buying decisions.”
In Part 3 (what you’re reading now), you’re about to discover (more…)
“Creative Imitation” Boosts Your Productivity
It’s often said that “imitation is the greatest form of flattery.”
It’s also said by Alex Mandossian to “Never invent, always improve” which he also refers to as as Creative Imitation.
Peter F. Drucker, often acknowledged as the “father of modern management” also had something to say about this important marketing principle in The Essential Drucker.
Here are two interesting examples of creative imitation:
Example 1: In December of 2006 I took Alex’s Teleseminar Secrets Training for the first time. After Module 2, I decided to jump in and held my first teleseminar on Article Marketing on December 20, 2006.
Little did I know how huge a journey that first step would lead to, nor the rocket ride to success that was coming.
By “creatively imitating” Alex I soon discovered how to (more…)
Ezine Articles + Twitter = More Exposure
My favorite and most effective article directory is EzineArticles. And thanks to my good friend and colleague Jeff Herring, I have had over one hundred (yes 100+ articles) posted there within the last few months.
How? Simply by “repurposing” faster, better and with less human effort. I can do this because I write with my mouth, not with my hands utilizing Teleseminar content as my core article material.
More Exposure: If you’re an info marketer who wants more reach with your articles, I recommend you set-up your EzineArticles account to automatically post your approved articles to your Twitter profile.
It’s that easy and powerful!

Article Marketing for Book Authors
If you are an author or an author-to-be, and want to sell more books with less effort then I have four words for you –
articles about…
articles from…
When you write articles about the topic of your book and create articles from your book, you can create an endless wave of prospects you would never have reached otherwise.
You will learn much more about this strategy on this year’s Virtual Book Tour Systems with Alex Mandossian. Be on the lookout for the opening of registration and the preview call on June 5th.
Who Knows You? (The Power of “Connecting”)
When you want to tap into the power of “connecting” with your friends or business colleagues, remember it’s not who you know … it’s WHO KNOWS YOU that counts most.
Consider the implications of “Metcalfe’s Law“. I won’t go into the formula (you can read about it at Wikipedia), but I will tell you it all started with telephone networks. Then it went into fax networks. Then to operating systems. And then the Internet.
Today, all the hype is about “social networking” sites, right?
