Client Consumption and Flipping The Affiliate Mindset On Its Head

Posted: 20 Sep 2012 05:13 AM PDT

Years ago I wrote about the gym business and what an amazing model it is. Basically gym's are oversold by about 1500% of what they could possibly handle.

If everyone who paid for a gym membership actually showed up their would not be enough room in the gym for anyone to work out.

So gyms price everything based on this concept. They can charge far less because they know very few people will use their product… yet they will make money off them no matter what.

I have made money on this model at times… I know when I sell an info product that probably only 5% of the people that buy it will actually use it… after all if they did I would lose money because of the resources it takes.

The one thing you can count on when you sell anything that is going to require hard work is that 95% of the people will not do it. Period.

Keep in mind I have been in that mindset for a LONG time. Its only been in the last couple months since we did the PAR Program that I have had to completely change my outlook on my company.

I figured out why a couple of my previous ventures had failed… and why this one was going to succeed.

With the PAR Program we have 100% client consumption rate. Everyone has a dedicated account representative and we can do 100% of the work. We can do all the copywriting, graphics, programing, and whatever else the client needs and we only charge our true costs for that. If the client has it then there is no costs for that.

The bottom line is if you don't consume it we don't make money…

With the gym analogy its like you get a personal trainer that has a key to your house and ensures that you get exactly what you paid for.

For me this is a completely different model and its taken me a bit to really believe in it.

I am happy to say though that its working very well.

I guess this is what they teach you when you actually pay attention in college.

And I appreciate you guys who have sent me messages about the PAR Program and thanking me for sharing things as we evolve from the inside.

This blog has always been about me sharing my experiences… well that and selling you shit from time to time but for the most part sharing experiences!

I have built 3 companies that I have sold in the last 3 years. Some for multi millions. All of my readers went on the journey with me from start to finish.

On this one I am going to take you on a ride that I never have before in building a real company and taking it where I should have taken many before ;) .

How to Use Your Domain Name with Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 06:11 PM PDT


A couple of weeks ago I published a post where I recommended to avoid free email services like Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo! when sending out business emails, because it makes you look unprofessional. It looks like I struck a nerve there, cause the discussion that followed in the comments was pretty heated.

Most people agreed with me. Some, however, said that they stuck to using Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo! because the interface and overall user experience was so much better when compared to the email clients available with their domain name emails.

Guess what, you can use your own domain name with Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo. That is, you can send and receive emails from an address like you@yourdomain.com from inside any of those free services, so problem solved. Here’s how to do it.

First of all if you are not using Gmail you are doing it wrong.

Jokes aside I am going to explain the process in Gmail (cause that is my cliente of choice), but I am pretty sure it is similar on other services.

Step 1: Inside the cPanel of your domain name create a forwarder to send all the email received by your you@domain.com account to your you@gmail.com account.

Step 2: Inside Gmail open the “Settings”, then go to “Accounts and import”, and then click on “Add another email account you own”.

Step 3: Put your you@domain.com email there, and follow the steps until Gmail says it will send you a confirmation code.

Step 4: That confirmation code should appear on your Gmail inbox (as you are forwarding all email on your you@domain.com account to Gmail already). Put that on the confirmation box and that is it.

Easy huh?

With this method you get the best of both worlds. You get to look professional with your you@domain.com email address and you get to use Google’s state of the art email client (or Yahoo!, or Hotmail…).
