Dear Friend,

Yesterday, I was on the teleconference call with
Henry Gold and several of our friends. We had a BIG
FIGHT with some marketers who ask us to price the
coaching program at $4,997.00.

In addition…

Henry were EVEN argued with them that he is NOT trying
to damage the Internet Marketing industry. Instead,
he was feeling compassion when he saw the posts on
both our blogs.

Where he can feel how you are EXTREMELY serious
on becoming successful. Yet, the price tag of $4,997
seems to be unreachable.
Because of this…

We have decided to cut down the pricing DRASTICALLY.
Because *You* are our main priority, we do NOT care
what marketers think about us.

To me, my subscribers (You) are way more important than
these marketers

I want to give You the chance for the breakthrough
you have been waiting for a long time.

I want you to be able to pingpoint back and tell
everyone that Socrates was the one that gave you
the chance and the boost you needed to take your
business to the next level.

Because it is Your success that matters.

I am about to announce to you the launch of the
telecoaching program I mentioned to you yesterday.
However, I MUST hold it off for one more day.

I am a kind of confused right now in terms of
pricing, as I talked with a friend of mine, who
is also a top-notch marketer about what is a good
pricing for this FOUR-WEEK Intensive coaching
program.

When I mentioned about what I am going to cover.
He did NOT hesitate to tell me, “Socrates, you
MUST charge at least $4,997.00 for this.

“Are you CRAZY?” — I replied.

When he explained to me that I GIVE AWAY all my
knowledge
on how I get more than 2,500 unique
visitors per day
(and monetize hundreds of dollars)
on auto-pilot.

He told me that it is almost like I am giving away
the BLOOD of my business.

You see… He was RIGHT! When there are too many
people KNOWing about the Google Adwords Secret I am
about to reveal to you, it will be like I am creating
my own little monster.

I need your ADVICE!

Be very serious on this, ok?

Does your online business have a tour guide?

I am not talking about the travel industry
I am not talking about putting on your safari boots

If you are doing any type of online business
pay close attention to this article.

If you are doing Adwords, eBay, Affiliate marketing
or anything else, then understanding today’s
concept can be the key to your success.

There are 2 ways to find a hidden city in the jungle.

1. By chance. Meaning that you wonder around the
jungle long enough that you found the hidden city.
Lucky you. Chances of finding the city are slim
to none

2. Get a tour guide. Meaning that someone will show
you the EXACT PATH to the hidden city. Your chances
of NOT  finding it are slim to none.

The same goes for your website as well.

Your Goal is to take your customer by the hand,
through your selling adventure, and make sure
he arrives at the destination on YOUR TERMS.

In other words, become the tour-guide for your customer
and show them the way.

Lets take a look at the following picture

Over the past few years I sold thousands of items
on eBay (all of them digital products) before I
discovered the idea I am going to share with you
in this blog post.

You can sell almost anything you want on ebay as
long as it is legal and not alive.

That includes selling ebooks and other digital
downloads.

I Bet you already knew that…

Am I really wasting my time here?

I dont think so! 

See, I talk with many of my thousands MyDD customers
on a daily basis and I found out that around 95% fail
to see the bigger picture
.

Most of these people are satisfied making a few bucks
per ebook they sell on eBay.  I say satisfied because
they DONT know what I am about to share with you.

eBay is an excellent source of targetted traffic.
Traffic from eBay is very different than the traffic
from PPC and Google Adwords.

WHY?

Because people that browse on eBay are Looking to
BUY something, meaning they are customers.

People that browse Google are mostly looking for free
information.

Everywhere I look, people are eager to generate traffic
to their websites with the hope of making a few bucks.

Is traffic really the holy grail of a successful internet business?

If you answered yes, THINK AGAIN

Traffic is a very important part of a successful website
BUT if you dont have the other parts in places, it will be
a waste of time and money!

In order for your traffic to actually worth anything, you
must do SOMETHING with it.

I call this “The Journey“. The marketing term for it is
“marketing funnel”.

In short, it is the FLOW of traffic to and through your business.
It involves capturing some of the traffic (lead generation)
and moving the leads through different stages in order to
increase their value (value of your lead = how much
money you make from  a lead during the life of their relationship
with you.)

For example:

  • 1000 visitors go to your website (traffic)
  • 500 of them optin for a newsletter (leads)
  • 50 of them purchased a $100 product (customers)
  • 25 of those 50 purchased an additional $500 item (leverage)
  • 10 of the 25 purchased a coaching program for $5000 
    (more leverage)
