Hey there Steve,

Do you remember playing the board game Snakes & Ladders as a kid?

As you play you advance forward steadily towards the finish, turn after turn. Sometimes you land on a ladder, and get to jump ahead 2, 3 or 4 rows.

But sometimes you land on a snake, and then you slide backwards even further. All of those steady gains wiped out, in an instant!

In fact, the phrase "back to square one" originated from the troublesome snakes in that game.

If it wasn't for the snakes the game would be super easy, in fact it would be no challenge at all. The number of ladders you land on would determine how fast you finish the game, but you'd always finish pretty quickly.

Building your wealth is a lot like a
game of Snakes & Ladders.

Regular turns in the game represent incremental steps that you take: contributing to your super, paying down your home loan, saving for an investment.

Well-chosen leveraged investments, like buying property, are the ladders when it comes to building wealth.

A wise property investment will jump you ahead in the game of building wealth.

In fact, without a few "ladders" it's nearly impossible to win the game - at least in the time you have left before you retire and stop earning an income.

You simply have to make some wise investments in leveraged assets like property if you ever want to be wealthy.

But then there are the "snakes" in the game...

Bad investments will take you backwards in the wealth building game. In fact, you can slide backwards even further than square one. Yikes!

But building wealth is not like "Snakes & Ladders" in one important way": it's not based on luck.

You get to choose whether you land on a snake or a ladder. You just need to be able to tell them apart.

This is where being part of the right community really helps you win the game.

I've often said that you're more likely to succeed as an entrepreneur when you're part of a community. When you learn from others with different knowledge & experience and when you work with people with complementary skills, then your business is destined for huge success.

Building wealth is just the same.

The right community of investors will guide you to avoid the snakes and choose ladders instead.

That's exactly why my friend Phil Anderson created a buyers group for property investors. He is passionate about helping people succeed at building wealth through property.

Phil sees many people stuck on the treadmill, not making any progress:

Go to work –> money in –> bills in –> money out –>
go to work –> money in –> bills in –> money out –>
and on and on it goes.

But then there are other people in the same circumstances - busy lives, bills to pay, average incomes - and yet they're able to build large amounts of wealth in just a few years.

Phil himself retired a multimillionaire at age 38, even though he only earned an average income his entire life. Since then, hundreds of people in his buyer's group have built substantial wealth through property using his strategies.

Why is there such a huge difference results, for people whose circumstances are so similar?

It's the community effect.


The people who became wealthy started by joining a community of successful property investors. Before long the success of the group started to rub off on them.


They absorbed the knowledge, beliefs and attitudes of the community by association.

Once that happened, their own success at building wealth was inevitable.

When you see the sort of results that ordinary Australians are getting through this community, you'll understand why the idea is taking off and the group now has over 960 members. See some fantastic results below.

5 members of his Phil's buyers group have been featured in national magazines this year as investor success stories. Here are 3 of them:

Phil is running some live events soon to show how his buyers group works, to let people meet some of the team and ask questions.

The first 3 free live events are coming very soon, Newcastle June 23, Sydney June 24 and Perth June 25.

Go here for the full list of 11 cities where Phil and the team are running events.

That web page also has a great video which explains how the group buying system works, and why it's the best way to ensure you don't land on a "snake" in your own game of building wealth. It's a brilliant new approach to property investing - take a look.

Book your seat today, this is an idea you'll want to check out for yourself.

Hope you're doing great and making magic,

Fwd: The 3 things that separate GOOD traffic from GREAT traffic

(WARNING: This email is incredibly long yet I promise worth reading from begining to end - in fact I guarantee it!)

 

So here's the deal...

 

Getting traffic is EASY...yet it's COMPLETELY worthless unless it's GREAT traffic.

 

In fact - the difference between the two is MONUMENTAL.

 

I mean, it's like the difference between tomato juice and a bloody mary, orange juice and a mimosa, lime juice and a margarita...(hmmm I'm feeling thirsty)

 

I think you get the point.

 

The AWESOME news is that it doesn't take that much to go from "Good" to "Great."

 

First...

 

It's about putting the right message in front of the right audience.

 

This means you need to know who it is you want to attract to your business.

 

You've got to get specific. I mean EVERYTHING down to the nitty gritty details.

 

Flesh out everything you can possibly think about - their life, their family, their interests, their fears, and what problems they have. Put yourself in their minds, walk a day in their shoes, visit the places they go, read the magazines and books they read...

 

...Leave NO stone unturned!

 

And if you are struggling, then start spying on your competition and use the tools mentioned in this video to shortcut the entire process.

 

Once you've got a grasp on who you want to attract, then it's time to focus on casting the bait.

 

Now, by far the fastest, easiest, and most effective way that we have found is with Facebook.

 

I mean with 1.28 billion active daily users, it's probably going to have a few who fit the bill for folks you'd like to work with.

 

And their ad platform lets us drill down to the exact people we're looking for.

 

Next, we have to craft our message.

 

And there are 3 CRUCIAL STEPS to doing this.

 

1. The Image

 

This one should be simple, but most people royally screw this up BIG time.

 

And...it's the most important part, because it's literally what stops your audience dead in their tracks.

 

Think about it...

 

...most people are non-stop scrolling their news feed looking for something worthwhile to look at.

 

Seriously, next time you're out in public, take a look at what someone is doing on their phone.

 

Scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, pause, scroll, scroll, scroll.

 

We want to be that pause. We want to be the thing that catches their attention enough to stop and take notice.

 

So what is it that's causing them to stop - PICTURES.

 

And this shouldn't come as a surprise. I mean - there's a reason Facebook bought Instagram for a BILLION dollars.

 

And here's what pictures people are looking at...

 

Selfies

Pictures of random things people find interesting

Food

Inspirational images and quotes

Pets, babies, and other utterly cute nonsense

 

What you don't see very much of is crappy stock images, boring product images, or anything else that looks remotely like it should be there.

 

All you gotta do is think outside the box a little and get creative with your smartphone, take a few snaps, and presto, you've got yourself a winning image.

 

Kinda like this one...

 

Next up...

 

2. The Headline or Title (as it is referred to by those over at the book of faces).

 

Instead of talking about all the different ways to write a headline, I'm going to give you the formula that works for us...

 

"Incredibly GOOD without Incredibly BAD"

 

This is based on TWO Mindsets that just about everyone has - Pursuit of Pleasure and Avoidance of Pain. Lets see it in action...

 

Sample Headline:

 

"Quickly Melt 16 Pounds of Body Fat Without EVER doing Cardio"

 

Okay - The Incredibly Good part (i.e. Pursuit of Pleasure) is "Melt 16 pounds of Body Fat." Right? Assuming that we're marketing to people that want that result, getting rid of 16 pounds of body fat would bring them tons of pleasure.

 

And here's the key about that "Incredibly Good" part - it has to be something that your audience has "Future Paced."

 

What that means is, at some point in their existence, they have envisioned what the upside of being 16 pounds thinner would mean to their life. They've imagined the new clothing they would buy or could fit into again. They've imagined going from one squishy mid-section to being able to see 2 or even 4 abdominal muscles. They've had fantasies about how the opposite gender would treat them without the extra jiggly-bits. And they've role-played what their friends would say when they see them all kinds of svelte and skinny - "Wow - you look amazing!"

 

So - Incredibly Good with "Future Paced" Results - that's the first part. Check.

 

The Second part "...without Incredibly BAD," is the hook.

 

Ya see, psychologically speaking (Disclaimer: I'm totally making this part up - This is really only how I think - I can't speak for normal, non-neurotic humans), I think we already spend a LOT of time imagining that we are in BETTER CIRCUMSTANCES - ya know, the grass is always greener if things were just a little different, blah blah blah.

 

Meaning, the "Incredibly Good" part - the HOPE - is just a way to MEET your audience at a point of self-awareness that they are already at.

 

Sure, it's nice to imagine, but that's NOT enough to get them to take action.

 

--> The HOOK that gets the TAKE ACTION is "…without Incredibly Bad."

 

The thing is - if we really and truly (for real) WANT the Incredibly Good part, why haven't we already GOT IT?

 

The answer is simple - because we ALL have Limiting Beliefs.

 

We have been programmed that we CAN NOT get Incredibly GOOD without making a HUGE sacrifice. And sometimes - in fact - MOST of the time, the sacrifice that we are conditioned to expect to endure in the pursuit of Incredibly GOOD is TOO much to pay. We can't handle it.

 

Think about it - in that example above - WITHOUT the Hook - one of the answers to

 

"Quickly Melt 16 pounds of body-fat" COULD be…

 

…Starvation.

 

LOL!

 

That's why, in order for this formula to work, you need the Hook - you need the "…without Incredibly Bad."

 

And last but not least...

 

3. The Body or Description

 

So you've got them to stop and pay attention to you, they've read your headline, and now for the most important part...getting that click!

 

Here's the BIG SECRET though.

 

According to Facebook, shorter posts receive 60 percent more likes, comments, and shares.

 

This means you should have about 3-5 lines of text max that carry on the conversation from the headline and leads them to the next step, which is clicking your link.

 

Example:

"Quickly Melt 16 Pounds of Body Fat Without EVER doing Cardio"

 

Never step foot on another boring cardio machine again thanks to this newly discovered fat-melting 15 min workout

 

Click here to see for yourself!


 

You'll notice there that I used a clarifying statement that backs up the headline, but at the same time clearly shows what is coming once they click-through. This is going to push away anyone who doesn't want to actually work out and pull in anyone who's the right fit. Quality over quantity!

 

Now that's what we talking about. :-)

 

We've got more awesome Traffic-getting tips posted here if you want to really dial this in, but hopefully you're feeling a little more confident when it comes to getting GREAT traffic.

 

Talk soon,

 

Andy & Mike

Hey steve
 
Congratulations for signing up for my Email Marketing workshop.
 
This email contains some important information to help you get the best possible results from the training… but first, some housekeeping.
 
1. The workshop takes place on 12th June at 7PM (PDT/ BST). Make a note in your calendar, scribble it on a Post It note, set alarms on your iPhone. You won't want to miss it :-)
 
2. Please click this link to join our private Facebook event group. You'll get bonus content, updates & other goodies. Plus, it's a great way for you to connect with other top email marketers. (Come back after you do it.)

Make sure you have a read before the workshop.
 
(It'll give you a significant advantage over your competition and help you quickly make more sales…)
 
OK - that's it for housekeeping.
 
Onward…
 
Let's look at what you're getting over the next few days (and how it will help you and your business.)
 
First up: the workshop. 
 
I will show you exactly how to make more sales, and you'll learn how to quickly squeeze massive profits out of tiny lists. You're getting a proven way to win more customers and fans… ALL via email.
 
You'll also discover how to send emails so captivating (and persuasive) your prospects will contact you if they miss one, begging you to resend it.
 
Plus, you'll discover advanced techniques that'll wrench money from your prospects. This will help propel you on affiliate leader-boards... even if your list is a fraction the size of your competition. 
 
In short: I'll show you precisely how to create emails that "sell" better than anything else I know.
 
In fact...
 
=========================================
My email system is a Shortcut to online success, and
has contributed to at least $100 Million + in sales... 
in the last year alone!
=========================================
 
More on that later.
 
Before I share all the juicy details with you, I want to give you some context. Because there's a good chance you don't know who the hell I am.
 
Here's the "quickie" version:
 
My name is Andre Chaperon. I'm the creator of one of the most popular - and well reviewed - email marketing courses ever released: Autoresponder Madness (ARM).
 
ARM has helped thousands of ordinary people to double - or triple - their businesses (or more), whilst providing massive value to their lists.
 
But you know what the kicker is?
 
I'm not a copywriter. Have never studied the black art of "copywriting". In fact, I've never been through a copywriting product, beginning to end. Never.
 
I was even certified dyslexic as a kid... sent to a remedial school... and put on Ritalin. That's how much of a non-writer I am.
 
Even today I can't spell for shit.
 
Yet - despite all this - I'm considered one of the best email guys in the business.
 
So much so that...
 
=========================================
The biggest gurus in online marketing use MY unique email system to make Multi-Millions!
=========================================
 
Email legends like Ryan Deiss, Jeff Walker, Rich Schefren, Kevin Nations, Mindvalley's Vishen Lakhiani, Perry Belcher and Dr Harlan Kilstein use - and stand behind - my trademark Autoresponder Madness system.
 
(And that's just a few big names off the top of my head.)
 
It's awesome - these guys use my unique email system to generate more subscribers, fans and customers. 
 
And - of course - make more money. 
 
Because my approach works.
 
It helps you make more sales... with less effort.
 
All whilst providing massive goodwill to your list.
 
And like I said, I have zero special abilities. 
 
If I can do this, believe me, so can you.
 
So… make sure you've locked my workshop in your calendar. It's going to be a lot of fun (and very profitable for you.)
 
Also - I'll be emailing you tomorrow with a free lesson to help you boost your sales… immediately.
 
All about how to "steal" from shows like 24, House of Cards, Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad to make more money.
 
The subject line will be:
 
[Part 2 of 4] The Walter White of Email
 
Keep an eye out for it.
 
(It's a goodie.)
 
Until then,
 
Andre Chaperon
 
P.S. Don't forget to download your free 42 page ebook here. It's packed full of golden money-getting content.
 
I put a LOT of time and energy into it, and I think you'll get a ton of value from it.
