5 Step Beginner Product Launch Plan
At a recent mastermind meeting, I had all my members sit down and do the following 6-figure exercise. It’s a 5-step beginner launch plan. I promise it will help you jump-start your business if you lack direction, and all it involves is spending 20-30 minutes planning out your next 12 months. Here’s what we did:…
Read More10 Universal Truths of Successful People
The other week I did a 1-hour interview with my friend Bedros Keuilian where we went over the 10 universal truths of successful people. You can get it here…my gift to you: => http://internetindependence.com/thank-you/internet-independence-survey Enjoy, Craig Ballantyne “One truth remains, I believe, solid and universal: sustained success in this business can’t be about products, offers,…

I’m about to contradict myself. And upset some folks…so if you’re easily offended, probably best to delete this email and look for tomorrow’s email – it has a cool special gift in it for you. But today, we need to look at an elephant in the room. A stinky elephant that no one likes. Otherwise,…
Read MoreRyan Deiss Kills the Internet
Friday was the ultimate day. Started with a workout, then a great breakfast with Ryan Deiss’ affiliate manager, followed by a private meeting with Ryan, and then all of my buddies (Vince, Joel, Adam, Geary, etc.) showed up at Ryan’s office for a private mastermind. Plus we had authentic breakfast tacos and Texas BBQ for…
Read MoreQnA on Expectations
I’m down in Austin, Texas today, meeting with Joel Marionz, Ryan Deiss, and a few other folks at a private Mastermind set up by Joel. I can’t stress enough how important it is for you to belong to a Mastermind Group. I don’t know of any successful information marketers that are doing it all by…

Yes, it’s true, a certified idiot made $4700 in 24 hours last week on the Internet… And I won’t hold you in suspense any longer…the complete idiot, of course, was/is me. This just gives us more proof that if I can do it, YOU can do it too. Last week during the takeover of my…
Read MoreGet Fired Up With Your Goals
I find stuff like this to be so cool… A friend sent me this, from Fortune magazine. “Every year, Tony Bates and his wife make a list of future goals. In 2007, Bates was a 40-year-old Cisco (CSCO) executive who wrote down that he wanted to become a CEO by the age of 45. “He…

I received so much positive feedback on yesterday’s email that I’m not even going to try and top it today. (Greatly appreciated your feedback, by the way.) So today, I give you the stupidest email I’ve ever sent you. (BUT…it’s got a really, really important message in it, too.) ***************** Dear Internet, how do I…
Read MoreYour Legacy
One thing that’s much tougher than selling info products in your website business is trying to sell tickets to a seminar. That’s one of the projects I have going on right now, and while it’s going exactly as I expected, we won’t hit my dream goal sales levels. At the same time, one of my…
Read MoreInspiring Website Business Interview
I’ll be honest, I’m not an expert at Linked In, so that’s why I interviewed a young guy named Lewis Howes who is building his entire internet business off his Linked In connections. It’s impressive stuff. You can download or read my interview with the guy who literally wrote the book on Linked In here:…
Read MoreSEO Reputation Management
So yesterday a big emergency popped up for a good friend of mine. Turns out someone from his past wanted to “ruin his life”, bought the website domain of his name, and put up a bunch of lies. You might even know someone who had that happen to them. Obviously, if you don’t know anything…
Read MoreHow to Sell 500 E-books in 100 Days
While talking to a big-time fitness info marketer recently, he asked me what I would do to sell 3300 copies of an e-book (on Clickbank) in only 100 days. By my math (which admittedly started going downhill when I entered high-school), that’s 33 e-books per day. Not too hard if you have the right sized…
