Want to make money while traveling? 2 years worth of advice in 5 minutes Business | (2)
The more passport stamps I accumulate, and the longer I spend abroad, the more questions I get from my 'real-life' friends as to how I'm able to make money while traveling. Some are just curious but a lot of them want to do it themselves. So, here is what I'd do, if I were you, and I wanted to get started building a business that allowed me to do cool stuff (ie travel) all while working for myself. Disclaimer: Is this lifestyle for you? Although I've traveled quite a bit these last 2 years, I'm not on vacation. I most likely put in ...

‘SourceControl’ & ‘Work The System’: These Books Will Change Your Life Business, Goals, Reviews | (3)
Awhile back I wrote a blog post about why information products are so cool and in it, I mentioned David Walsh's Source Control. I'd like to mention it again here, and I'd also like to talk about Sam Carpenter's Work The System. I've been getting sick of spending time on things that I know don’t really add much to my life (ie. pointless internet browsing among others), and these books have forced me (because of their incredible logic) to start analyzing the 'systems' in my business and in my life as well. After devouring these resources countless times, I'm ...

Magic Video & A ‘Weird’ Successful Business Business | (6)
One of the best things that has come from creating the 007 Lifestyle was an invitation to a marketing syndicate for guys selling dating products. Even though I'm not trying to be player in the dating scene, it's been the most incredible learning experience I could hope for. Some huge names in the seduction world - guys you've read about in 'The Game' and guys who are pushing well over 20 G's a month in sales have gathered to share their knowledge and insight. One of those guys, Brad Jackson, sells a product that teaches guys how to use magic to ...

Why Information Products F***ing Rule Business | (8)
I checked email on my iPod Touch at a cozy coffee shop in Port Townsend, Washington. A customer wasn't able to download the information product I had created and launched to the world a few weeks earlier. I forwarded the email to my dad who had agreed to be my VA for a month. He was in front of his computer everyday so he didn't mind. If I had read David Walsh's Source Control at the time, I would have had someone in the Philippines available for $3.33 per hour to do it. My VA (aka dad) took the pre-formatted email ...

Why You Shouldn’t Try To Create A Muse (Just Yet) Business | (17)
I just created my first 'successful' muse and I don't think you should follow in my footsteps. Or at least not quite yet. Note #1: If you don't understand some terms being thrown around here (like 'muse') see the glossary at the end of this post. Note #2: David Walsh of MuseLife.com might physically attack me for writing this! I put 'successful' in quotes because my muse is still in development. I'm just below my desired income level and I'm also not fully automated yet - meaning I still deal with customer service issues, web design, and other things that I shouldn't be ...

Using The Mystery Method To ‘Game’ Customers Business | (6)
I'm currently 'gaming' potential prospects into purchasing my ebook using the Mystery Method. For those who are unfamiliar with the Mystery Method it's a systematic process for picking up girls, developed by the famous pickup artist, Erik Von Markovik (aka Mystery). He broke the seduction process down into a step-by-step system that any guy can use to score with women I believe that the system works well beyond just picking up chicks. It's also a good model for meeting people and social situations in general. So, I've taken his system and applied it to customers signing up for my free newsletter. I've found ...

Muse Test #1: Testing The Muse Business, Talk Muse | (0)
Note: This is a post moved from another blog I started and then dismantled, Talk Muse. I want to test whether or not my product will actually sell. If there's no market for the product, then there's no use in developing it. I've come up with a simple plan partially based on chapter 10 of The 4 Hour Work Week. To test my muse, I am going to do the following: Fully to develop my product but on paper. I want to intimately know my product so I can effectively sell it. Create a 1-3 page website with a sales letter. I'll be split ...
