It’s been a few years since Yanik Silver released a “real” book but I’m super excited to announce the release of his new “Maverick Startup: 11 X-Factors to Bootstrap from Zero to Six Figures (and Beyond)”!

After the success of his last books, “34 Rules for Maverick Entrepreneurs” and “Moonlighting on the Internet” (which was #3 on Entrepreneur Press’s ALL-TIME business best seller list!), his publisher has been bugging him to do it again.

Fortunately for us, he’s been secretly working behind the scenes on a unique book that dissects what it really takes to go from scratch to 6-figures and beyond.

Forget SEO, PPC, publishing on Kindle or any of those tactics…Yanik wanted to look at the core of what makes one business boom while another flounders.

And after a few years of growing million-dollar businesses over and over, consulting other entrepreneurs and having many hands-on experiences (plus a lot of writing and re-writing), his new book, or rather “roadmap”, is ready for you!

Now, Yanik has built 8 different products and services past the 7-figure sales mark, so he knows first-hand how powerful these X-factors can be when YOU apply them in YOUR own business.

And since his Maverick businesses are all about having a huge ripple effect in the entrepreneurial community, he wanted to launch this book with a BANG.

That’s why he’s trying something new that I wanted to share with you…

Yanik wants to get his book in the hands of as many people as possible and wants to encourage you to buy 3 copies (or more). One for yourself and two to pass along to business friends or entrepreneurial startups as gifts.

That’s why to reward you for getting at least 3 books, he has prepared a FREE bonus: A special recording of a 2+ hour video presentation that he’s *never* publicly released before called, “Total Secrets of Joint Ventures and Outsourcing” (worth a very real $147.00).

Quite frankly, joint ventures and outsourcing are one of the biggest ways he could leverage and run his multi-million dollar business from his house originally with zero employees except his wife, Missy.

What’s more, he brought in a special guest, Chris Zavadowski. He’s been Yanik’s joint venture partner on a few projects so he can give you the ‘other side’. Plus, he’s also become a master at outsourcing in his own right—which is why he spoke at Underground 4 on this topic. This is a serious 2-for-1 bonus ‘ticket’ here, available only through the end of the month (May 31, 2012).

Take the time to see this video training and watch your productivity soar. In fact, here’s just one of the many comments they got in from the ‘live’ attendees:

===========
“It’s the best seminar I’ve found for true business freedom. It pretty much summarized the E-Myth business plan as it would be delivered in today’s standard. Really, Thank you so much, both of you for a webinar well done full of the BEST content I’ve received so far. God Bless you both!” – Nelson Ramirez
===========

Pretty cool, eh? And it’s yours as a free gift when you order just 3 copies of his new book!

So here’s what to do next:

Maverick Startup: 11 X-Factors to Bootstrap From Zero to Six Figures and Beyond

STEP #1: Go to Amazon and buy 3 (or more!) copies of “Maverick Startup: 11 X-Factors to Bootstrap From Zero to Six Figures and Beyond”! Here’s that link.

Remember, this special bonus Yanik is offering disappears at the the end of the month. So you’ll want to grab your 3 books and the bonus right away!

If you pay attention to the e-mails you get from information marketers, you notice that, in addition to selling you their content, they are also giving a lot of their content away!

You should do the same. Why?

Because if all you are doing is selling, your prospects will stop reading your e-mails.

But if you offer a combination of both free and paid content, they will stay interested and keep reading.

They will also appreciate the free stuff you give them, and pay back your generosity by ordering more from you.

What can you give away for free? Links that let your readers watch a video online free. Or listen to an audio MP3 file. Invitations to attend free webinars. Free special reports and e-books.

The important question, however, is: What content do you give away free vs. what content do you charge for?

Many experts say that you should give away your best information! Their logic is as follows: if readers don’t think your free stuff is great, they’re not going to order your paid products.

The contrary school says that if you give away your best stuff, then your readers have what they need, and there’s no reason to get (and pay for) additional content from you.

So…what do you give away for free and what do you charge for?

My rule of thumb, given to me by Internet marketing consultant Wendy Montes de Oca, is as follow: Your free content tells your readers what to do. Your paid content tells them how to do it.

For example, in a recent e-mail to you, I revealed the 5 best ways to promote yourself as a freelance copywriter.

I told what the 5 methods were. But in the limited space of an e-mail, I could not possibly tell how to do each.

However, I do sell information products that teach how to do each method in great detail. And those I offer to my readers at a reasonable price.

Now, you don’t always have to stick with Wendy’s rule about giving away only what-to-do information. There are exceptions.

Internet marketing guru Terry Dean says, “You can also tell people how to solve a minor problem when you’re selling the solution to a bigger problem.”

He adds: “At times I do give the how-to away, especially when it leaves them wanting more, like when you give people how to do step one and now they need to know how to do steps two, three, and four.”

Question: how to go from zero to $863 a day using the Constant cash Machine?

The Constant Cash Machine is designed around the principle that even the smallest affiliates could make money like the “big boys” if they only had the minute-by-minute inside scoop on what the best Clickbank offer on the planet is to promote…

And so the Constant Cash Machine reveals the most profitable trending product to promote this minute (not tomorrow after all the super affiliates have already crushed it) and then actually set up affiliate sites for users.

They don’t have to research the marketplace, chose a niche, design a page…hell they don’t have to think! All they need to do is put in their Clickbank ID and the CCM software will tap directly into the Clickbank API and determine what the best product is to promote that very second across 5 different niches!

Affiliate sites are then produced and loaded with fresh content each and every day, also pulling off pertinent products in the niche from Amazon and advertise those with the users’ Amazon affiliate ID built in!

That’s how it works: get the inside scoop on the hottest trending products in Clickbank AND Amazon, then have an affiliate page that gets constant fresh content produced!

Have you been seeking the answers to these questions:

1) What is the nature of all reality and how the universe really works?

2) Why gaining understanding and truth will get you everything you ever wanted?

3) Why purchasing spiritual knowledge will tremendously accelerate your progress in life?

These are really deep questions and thankfully Enoch Tan answers all that in his breakthrough 26-page report. Mind you, the information is truly worth buying but you can download it for FREE today! Download from the link below:

The Secret Of Your Success by Bob Bly

Posted May 15th, 2012. Filed under Business

A few years ago, I was part of a panel of supposedly successful people speaking to a room packed with about a thousand college seniors.

Our topic: how to be successful.

When it was my turn, I asked the students: “How many of you want to be successful?”

Every hand in the room shot up.

I then asked: “Who can tell me what success is?”

Not a single hand in the room was raised.

“If you don’t know what success is,” I asked the students, “then how are you going to get there?”

This is the dilemma facing many people I meet today.

They desperately want to be “successful”.

But when you ask them what that would mean, they either can’t give you a definitive answer, or they say it would be becoming a millionaire.

They define success by how much money they have because that’s how the world keeps score.

But does becoming a millionaire really make you successful?

If you won the lottery or inherited the money, you are a millionaire, but are you really a success?

If you have to do something unethical or illegal to make that much money, are you really a success?

If you work marathon days at a job that makes you miserable, same question.

That’s why early in my career, I thought about what success meant to me, not what others thought success is.

And I came up with this definition: Success is doing what I want to do…when I want to do it…with the people I want to work with…and getting paid very, very well for it.

I don’t claim this is a perfect definition for success. And it may not work for you. But it works for me and many others I have shared it with in my books and lectures.

Let’s break down this definition of success piece by piece…

“Success is doing what I want to do.”

To me, 90% of the secret of enjoying life is having a job or business you love…one you’re so excited and enthusiastic about, you jump out of bed every morning eager to get to your office and start the day.

After all, you spend more than half your waking hours working. If you don’t like work—and millions of people don’t—then your days will seem to drag on almost forever. It’s close to torture.

Now, the mistake people make is to believe the old saying, “Pursue your passion and the money will follow.”

There are plenty of things people are passionate about (e.g. 18th century Peruvian poetry) that may be fun and interesting but have close to zero money-making potential.

The trick is to pursue an interest of yours (e.g., restoring classic cars) that people will pay for.

Aristotle said words to the effect that wherein your passion intersects with the needs of the public, therein lies your vocation.

Next, success is doing what you love “when I want to do it.”

This is why 9-to-5 employment was not for me: I resented being told what to do and when to do it.

I could not abide having my freedom taken away and being subject to someone else’s whims at their beck and call.

And so I quit to become a freelance copywriter.

One of the dangers of self-employment is the crisis-lull-crisis rhythm of so many businesses.

To protect yourself against the slow times, you should create multiple streams of income—some active, some passive.

I have 5 income streams: (a) copywriting, (b) consulting, (c) Internet marketing, (d) writing books, and (e) giving workshops and seminars.

That way, I am always busy. If copywriting would ever slow, as happened a few times very early in my career, I would turn to the book I had under contract or do some workshops.

The best thing is that, being self-employed, I can largely work on tasks and projects when I want to do them, not when someone else tells me to do them.

Even meetings and conference calls are scheduled by me when I want to and can do them, not when someone else commands me to.

My old friend DH says, “I don’t like taking orders, and I don’t like giving orders.” I feel the same way.

That’s why, aside from my administrative assistant, JV, I work alone. And JV is a virtual assistant, so I really am alone all day, as I prefer.

Success is doing what I want to do, when I want to do it, “with the people I want to work with”.

By working diligently and consistently to build my copywriting practice, I could soon pick and choose the clients I accepted.

This way I could work only with people I like and respect—and only on projects that interest me.

If you are in a service business, figure out how much self-promotion you need to do to fill your book of business and then do twice that amount of marketing.

This will fill your lead pipeline to overflowing and allow you to pick and choose what clients and assignments you take on.

The last part of my success formula: “getting paid very, very well.”

Goal-setting experts would find fault with this statement, because it does not specify a dollar amount of money.

Well, I live in an affluent neighborhood. So I decided that for me, getting paid well meant earning 4X or more per year than my average neighbor.

You may have a different money goal: higher annual earnings or the accumulation of a net worth of a certain dollar amount; i.e. a million bucks.

That’s a valuable and laudable goal, but it simply isn’t part of my personal success definition. But by all means, if you want it to be part of your success definition, go for it.

One other thing…

I have a litmus test for your definition of success, and it’s simple: Does it allow you to live comfortably? Does it make you happy?

If you can say yes, then you are successful. At least in my eyes. And I hope in yours, too.

Of course NOT.

And that’s why you shouldn’t try to start a membership site using one of those clunky, complex and expensive scripts.

Just ask countless others who’ve spent time “fiddling” and “tweaking” their scripts for so long that they never even got their membership sites off the ground.

No members, no money, no fun.
