* Catch Up

Just a couple of things today

One is the unusual promotion I mentioned the other day
It’s not for everyone – but some will be fascinated by it I’m sure!

The other is a follow up to the recommendation I made Monday and me venting some steam as I don’t want to follow the ‘guru hype’ path – but I’m getting grief about it and they’re using my lack of sales against me to prove their point

On a lighter note in terms of long term sales…I didn’t have any spectacular weeks in August – BUT – I did add another get a payrise from most of my main sites
So regardless of what ‘they’ say, (or how I sound below) I’m very happy to continue being me. (And not trying to be someone I’m not)

In fact – I do wish a lot of luck to those who follow and remake themselves into new people – as long as they’re happy with the end result and the lives that they find themselves living.

For those who follow my lead and live their lives with passion first -
I do want to reassure you…
It may take a little longer – but trust me on this…
You will really – really love the life you get at the end of it. And it does come around eventually…

I think I have it on my twitter profile – That keeping my marketing fun and passion filled may earn less initially – but it does lead to a happier life that I love living ….But it’s not for me to make decisions about the way others lead their lives (and it’s definitely NOT my job to judge anyone!! – I’ll leave that to the guys with wigs and the higher powers people believe in)

I just hope you enjoy the life you have, and can pass that on to others.

OK – I know I’m rambling on now due to writing this in reverse order…lol
Hope it all makes sense by the time you’ve read it all…lol

So – on with the unusual promo and why I mention it.
Remember – it may not be for you.. in fact it’s probably only for a small minority, but it will answer one question that I’ve been asked so often

[Added In Edit]
It seems that sometime on Thursday my pc was infected with a virus
I won’t bore you with too many details of the nightmare this is causing me – other than to ask for your patience in replying to just about anything.
I have kept up with support tickets and emails by visiting frends and using their pc’s and have now bought a wireless dongle for my old laptop.
However – I don’t have a lot of tools, resources and passwords for a lot of the daily things I do – so until the engineer takes a look on Monday, I may not be able to do certain tasks and things that I’d like, and others may just take a little longer…. like getting this post onto the blog…lol

To turn this all into a postive – Pete is going to teach me a bit more techy stuff about putting everything onto my external hard drive as soon as I’m fully back up and running…. so something good will come out of it

Oh and while I’m editing – a MASSIVE THANK YOU for the emails I’ve been getting about my rant below
I really appreciate it and will try and post some of them as comments once I’ve sorted this post and whatever else requires doing.

========

* So many ask me this… Now you find out!

OK – here is comes.

The question that so many have asked me over the years.
It’s about the photo I used to use on most of my sites and forum posts:

In it I am holding a certificate.
And that’s what people seemed to want to know…

What Is It For?

Well if I haven’t answered you individually over the years – or even if you hadn’t seen it around much lately and never gave it a thought… you’ll now find out

It’s a certificate from the British Academy of Hypnosis.

You see I’ve always been a nosey so’n'so (I think I meant to and inquisitive sort)
And way back (when I had too much ca$h to spare…lol) I had seen a hypnotist perform and was fascinated.
So much so that I wanted to know how it was done!
(I’m the same with magic tricks – there aren’t many I don’t know!!)

Well being in sales management at the time – I decided to invest and learn all I could, as I realised that it would
A) – Satisfy my own desire to know &
B) – Could be useful in my career and general life.

So I ended up paying around $3000 to be taught both stage hypnotism and hypnotherapy (which differ greatly!!)
I do have to say that it was a great investment that I did get value from, and although I have never ‘performed on stage’
I did learn a lot about the human mind, and my own in general because of it.

So there you have it – now you know… just don’t tell my gorgeous ex’s or my beautiful Rachel (they may suddenly realise I’m an ugly bloke and not the hunk they thought they saw!!)
—
Anyway – that brings me around to this unusual promotion.
It’s for a course called
‘Ultimate Conversational Hypnosis’

Now I did tell you it wasn’t for everyone
So if hypnosis and NLP are of no interest to you you can stop reading now.

If however you can see how knowing more about how the mind works might help you both in your online career as well as be a great help in your life in general, … Then this just might be for you Dooby!
http://www.randolfsmith.com/recommends/hypno/

And the reason I’m promoting it is because it is SOoooooo much cheaper than what I had to invest to learn about it.
And frankly – this course actually covers a great deal more due to the advanced skills of it’s creator.

Here’s some of what you’ll discover if you’d care to:

It’s put together by Steve G. Jones and he’s a world renowned, super-educated  hypnotherapist,
Steve doesn’t claim to be a “know-it-all.”
But the one thing HE DOES know better than 99.99% of the people on the planet is how to use hypnosis in both everyday life and  therapeutically.
After all, that’s just about the only thing Steve has done with his life, professionally speaking, for the last 24 years!
That’s why he has developed an amazing 18 module system to give you  almost-absolute control in everyday situations.

Imagine if you could induce hypnosis in anyone while speaking to them… and it’s not a rocket science.
However there are two limiting factors.

You can hypnotize one individual at a time (so forget about  creating a big harem of hot, hypnotized women calling you responding to your TV ad).
An individual must have an IQ of at least 90. In other words, the  person is not extremely stupid (so forget hypnotizing your dog).

Other than that you must know:
“With great power comes great responsibility”
- Spiderman’s uncle

Steve will show you how to master everyday hypnosis… He’ll even  give you word-by-word scripts so he makes sure you’ll get it.
After reviewing the modules myself, I asked Steve if I can let you know about his powerful system.
He agreed, but under one condition…

That you promise to me, you’ll use it ethically.
As hypnosis of that degree in unethical hands could mean a disaster… And I don’t want to be held responsible for such thing.
It is like a weapon.. He has to be careful selecting to whom he grants access.

Check out the website to see if you qualify.
http://www.randolfsmith.com/recommends/hypno/

In Steve’s Ultimate Conversational Hypnosis System you’ll discover…

** How to use one little-known routine to make an outstanding,  charming first impression.

** How to close almost any deal for as long as there is even a  slightest interest in your offer (and quick-test to find that out  on Module 6)

** How to calm down aggressive people and demand their attention.  On Module 8.

** How to induce amnesia – Extremely powerful one – Module 9.

Or the nice-one, his clients specially like…

** How to start a conversation even with a total stranger and  having a great rapport from very beginning

Best of all, you can discover these and dozens of other proven and  powerful hypnosis techniques for very little money… as part of  this special marketing test available only to my subscribers!
So, if you want to get an edge in everyday communication, lead  other people towards your goals and you promise to do it  ethically…
I urge you to find out more about Steve’s
“Ultimate Conversational Hypnosis” system by clicking the link:

But Remember – It’s Not for everyone, I did say at the start!
There’s no risk. If you aren’t 100% delighted with Steve’s techniques… if you don’t realize their potential INSTANTLY, just let him know within 60 days.
He’ll promptly refund your money. And you can keep the entire System  with his compliments! That way, he takes all the risk — and you  can’t lose!

To inspect the system risk-free for a full 2 months, click the link below:

Well that made a change from the usual IM talk didn’t it?
I hope I didn’t bore you if it’s not your thing… (I did say to stop reading up near the top…lol) And if it is – I hope you appreciate the price compared to what I had to pay when I was taught!

OK – moving on…. my small rant and bepuzzlement! (Is that a word??)
Or was it my fault for forgetting to mention Free on Monday?

* About The Adswap – It’s FREE at first

Did I mess up?
Two days ago I mentioned Ray’s new Adswap product

http://randolfsmith.com/recommends/AdSwap/

I stuck in the copy and paste email and added what I thought were my more realistic comments.
I even admitted and mentioned on my blog that doing this had added 841 subscribers to my own lists.
And yet I don’t seem to have anyone grab the offer and ask me for the resource I’d said I would give as my genuine related bonus for those taking the upsell?

So I figure there could be a number of reasons for it…

Either everyone on my list has suddenly stopped reading anything I send out (possible but seems unlikely)?

OR
I didn’t make it clear that the front end is FREE (I didn’t but figured if you went to the site you’d see that for yourself…)

OR
Everyone who did read it, went to the site and saw no need to buy product, as they are already using this to great effect and have a list of thousands already making them heaps of ca$h every month? (in which case – can you all please contact me to arrange to promote my products???) - hehe

OR
is it that I should change my style and really hype it up like others have done? That may be something I have to consider, as people are making some good ca$h using the hyped up emails and bonuses.

I really don’t get it on this one.
It is a guaranteed way to build your lists and make more income each and every month, and yet I made no sales.
(I know – I’m not supposed to even admit that am I?)
http://randolfsmith.com/recommends/AdSwap/

I stand by what I always say about not spending on things you don’t need….
BUT HEY – I’ve never had a time when there are at least a few who would benefit from products I review and recommend.
Therefore I can only assume that it’s cos I didn’t recommend it strongly enough, or I should have added some info overload bonuses and gone with the hypey pitch.

Nope – can’t do it.
I doubt it will get you 10,000 subs in a few weeks – it hasn’t for me. But Adswaps have added another $300 to my incom’e last month alone! And 841 subs.
So why wouldn’t you think that was worth taking a lkook at if you are ready to build your own lists?

If you don’t have an Autoresponder -
I have www.WizardResponder.com at less than half what the big names charge.

I have www.GuruBypass.com that can get anyone started with a list and some monthly inco’me.
(And in it I do recommend starting some adswaps once you have a list started)

So whatever the reason is – I’m sure I’ve done a dis-service by not being strong enough in recommending Ray’s product!

Here’s hoping that whoever missed the email or thought a few hundred a month wasn’t worth the investment may realise it’s one of the best ways to keep adding to your own long term security and will reconsider and take a look today…
http://randolfsmith.com/recommends/AdSwap/

And no – it’s still not for everyone.
And no it wont make you rich overnight

And Finally NO – I can’t see me changing my style and getting hypey and writing BS about 10′s of thousands of subs and millions per month.
So do feel free to buy from someone who promises you what you want to believe – if that’s the style you’d prefer.

For everyone else…
This is just me frustrated at being told ‘told you so’ by friends who do use the hype to sell.
It weakens my argument to keeping things real, and I always prefer to be in a position of strength when I argue ….lol

So if you are ready for a product that will show you how to do what “I’ve” claimed it will – and not what others claim it will – then I hope you’ll consider using my link to grab it
http://randolfsmith.com/recommends/AdSwap/

And a P.S. to those who already emailed me this week about liking the fact that I keep things fun and realistic…. Thanks.
Even if they keep beating me in JV comps – it’s YOU who I’ll stay true to! (well my conscience actually, but I’m glad that you fit in with it for me so I can continue the way I choose to and not have to follow the Guru crowd)
