Here we are on the morning of the much anticipated release of Attention Age Doctrine Part II. The Doctrine that tells you how to maximize success in a world where keeping somoene’s attention is becoming increasingly more difficult..
Yet I will be the FIRST to admit.
I am NOT really looking that forward to reading another document. I download and buy more products than I have time to digest, and I am actually petrified that I will completely MISS the POINT.
Therefore I want to say it NOW, on the BLOG, for the record! WHAT IS IT THAT WE (I) Want from Rich Schefren. What is it that WE can get from HIM??
If you are looking to make some fast web cash, you will enjoy the free information and pick up some great tips and tools. But you can do that at the Warrior Forum, and just about from any clickbank product (if you follow it).
Nothing wrong with fast cash, but there comes a certain time in your career, when you realize that fast cash may be here today, but gone tomorrow. That for the sake of longevity, and the real meaning of passive income, there is so much opportunity in actually having a proper functioning business, that combined with your IM skills, if you allign yourself with the proper people and tools, you may have a blueprint to follow and people who care if you succeed. Thats Rich Schefren.
It doesnt matter if you want to focus on rapid weight loss, left handed fly fishers, or becoming an online consultant – you can either view yourself as pitching a product or creating a BUSINESS. If you are just creating a product.. then WHAT NEXT?? If you are creating a business (which YES you can around a niche), then you can position yourself to go very very far.
Which is just want I plan to do. Looking forward to it Rich.. and the business systems that follow!
Over at his blog, Rich shared with everyone my Video and admited that he deserved my creative dig! The comments that followed.. well lets just say they were WAY kinder than I expected. It was suggested more than once that Rich put me on his team !!
Here is the video. I know my loyal blog readers already commented on other posts about it, but heck, post twice. It costs the same..
Below the video is a video response from Schefrens team directed to ME. Yes, I received MY first video response. I think he may even outdo me .. Enjoy! Dont forget to go pick up the Attention Age Doctrine Part II!
The video response:
Some Comments from Rich’s Blog Post:

Awesome video! I am friends with Andrea…… Damn she is something special, I was going to go for the dreamdate myself, but she has me beat with her mad video skills.
And Andrea, you’re clever, possibly brilliant… i don’t know what goes on in that mind of yours to create such a hilarious video, but you must have known what was going on in mine…
Thanks Andrea.
Good going. Way to keep those feet in the fire. Rich should sign you up to promote his stuff. You are the marketing queen of the net.

Andrea – I really enjoyed all your other videos as well! You have quite a talent! Shalom!!!
Is that unbelievable or WHAT?
Go Get Part II!!
About 6 months ago or so, MANY online marketers (newbies and seasoned) signed up for a $1 trial to StomperNet. The StomperNet program claims to ‘stomp the search engines’ and build your business to be a SERIOUS business, and at an $800 monthly membership fee, this trial seemed like a no brainer!
Only once we entered, did we find out that they were offering their trial members a special system called Stomper Simple. The plan of simple was to help EVERYONE get an online affiliate business up and running. Everyone was to take a product of their choice at Clickbank and pre-sell it. Part of their system including creating ‘Kitchen Table Copy’. The idea is that you print out 4 different salesletters of competing products, and place them all on your kitchen table. Take a red marker and highlight all the best parts of each salespage and then create one ‘knock em dead’ salesletter.
But what’s the catch? After creating this awesome salespage you have to send them to ANOTHER full blown Clickbank salespage! Many of the better products – better meaning that according to Stomper Simple ‘mathematics’ it’s an easier sale – include poor salespages, opt-ins, and just a LOT more reading to get to the order form.
When you pitch a product, you have to make it READILY available – dont ask them to jump through ANOTHER hoop!
Here was a question I posed to my Stomper Team – Is there a way to SKIP the clickbank salespage? Go straight to their order form?? There are MANY benefits to this beyond the Stomper Simple method..
After surfing the web a bit yesterday, I accidentely fell on the solution! Here is what Lynn Terry from ClickNewz says: (ok this is copy and paste to make sure you get the technical details right – hope thats ‘kosher’ in the blogosphere)
Typically, when you are promoting a ClickBank product as an affiliate you will use what they call a “hoplink” to the merchant’s sales copy. That hoplink tracks the click-through’s and you get credit for every sale in the form of commission.
In the rare case that you want to bypass the merchant’s sales copy, you can set up a direct link to the checkout page that will still track your referrals. Here’s how you do that…
clickbank.net/sell.cgi?YOURID_MERCHANTID/ProductNumber/ProductName
You will need to put the “http://” in front of that, and also make sure the link comes out all on one line – it breaks into two lines here on this page, but you want to make sure to create the link with no spaces or breaks.
There are 4 things you need to edit in that link:
YOURID which is your ClickBank ID
MERCHANTID the merchant’s ClickBank ID
ProductNumber
ProductName
The product name and product number can be found in the merchant’s original checkout link. What I usually do is view the merchant’s sales copy page, then click View > Source in my browser. This brings up the source code for the page, and you can locate the order button and analyze their order link.
Lynn also suggests asking the merchant for permission.. and testing it out! When you click to purchase at the bottom of the purchase page you should see your affiliate name in brackets at the bottom.
Thanks Lynn!
The next trick is to figure out how to not have others steal your clickbank commissions.
Speaking of Stomper Simple – all the participants say that the best part were the relationships created. I added like 30 names to my skype and chat regularly with 3 of them and of course everyone knows my new friend George! Certainly worth the $1!!
P.S. I want to give you one more trick than I promised in this post. Here goes … it’s to do with spying on your competitors ads … If you could check EXACTLY what keywords your competitors are bidding on in Google adwords and find out how much they are paying per click, how many ads they are running, and what is converting for them you would probably think you would have to Google to find out that stuff? NO! I use a software called Affiliate Elite. What will Affiliate Elite do for YOU? All the stuff I mentioned in the second sentence of this paragraph! And as well as seeing what ads your competitors are using how much they are paying etc. you can also use it to find potential affiliates to promote your products – clever eh? Check it out.
I am reflecting.
The whole attraction of Earning an Online income is to be Free from a BOSS and from a J.O.B.. However, picture this scenario:
You wake up, send your children off to school, and go to your 9 to 5 job. You are home by 6 PM and have the night with your family – for yourself! You get holidays off like Thanksgiving!! Regular Paycheck!! Benefits!! Vacation!! Maybe you even make friends and get to listen to the radio and gossip while at work!! Or BETTER YET – you surf the web and learn how to make money online while your BOSS PAYS YOU!! Sweeeet..
The other scenario:
You work from home at your computer. 6 PM comes and goes. Dinner is served, cleared away, your laptop is still running on the end of the table. You get an email notification, so ‘sorry honey’ let me just see who that is.. bedtime stories are read, children in bed… now hurry!! hurry! back to the computer
AH.. yes. now that I have worked all day, and the children are asleep. AHH another evening of some alone time with ME and My Computer.
10:30 PM – I WILL NOT BE TOO TIRED. I WILL WORK LONGER. LATER. ALL NIGHT IF I HAVE TO…
CRASH
3:30 AM one eye opens to survey the scene. I have somehow made it 3 feet away to the couch.
I am refreshed. I have had almost 5 hours of sleep! Bathroom, brush my teeth (well sometimes), no need to get in PJ’s since the whole pitch we offer is working at home in our PJ’s!! (added for drama, but when I look back and read this in 30 years I must note for the record that I am always dressed!), and then…back to the computer.
So now when I think THANKSGIVING, I am thinking that with no JOB to not have to go to.. what is there really to be thankful for? Another reason to feel guilty hanging out at the computer and ignoring the family?
Not that we celebrate Thanksgiving where I live. Here we say thanks ALL the time. Before we eat food, after we use the bathroom, before we go to sleep at night, and when we wake up in the morning.
Since this is a time when family gets together and we spread all over the globe, let me bring a piece of my family here:
my favorites on this list are #2 and #4, #5, #7, #8 … lol actually THE BEST tunes are here at Amazon - all are great but Half Dozen is probably my fave – (and no -its NOT an affiliate link )
If you are still here with me… then I hope I didnt make that strong a case for the ‘RAT RACE’ folks, cuz the P.S. is that if all goes right, by this time next year… you know the rest..
Where I live, it is not uncommon for someone.. virtually ANYONE.. to ask:
How much do you earn?
What is your rent?
How much did you pay for your apartment?
and the like…
From experience, ahem.. I understand that this is NOT standard practice .. elsewhere.
First of all, one of the most important topics to be educated on, by example, through others experience, is that of MONEY. When you cloak the details in secrecy, you may not be helped or help others. When navigating around the beauracracy that accompanies jobs, maternity leave, landlords, tenants, property tax, cleaning help rates, and on and on.. do you really feel equipped to learn by trial and error?
I am always annoyed when I hear elderly parents say they dont want to ‘interfere’ with the actions of their children. On PURPOSE. That is their way of helping! Isnt one of the MAIN reasons you are at least 20 years older and WISER to allow your children to benefit from your experiences and not stop the ‘parenting’ at 21. Maybe I am just spoiled for having a father that is one of the foremost experts on FINANCE in the WORLD (who will read and say .. honey, you cant use the word foremost in that context or something like that – THANKS DAD – I dont Want to look like a Moron, so keep it coming!) Lets not even START with my MOM and her interference! After all, every blog needs at least ONE regular commentator!!
I recently was talking to a VERY good friend about pay rates and was SHOCKED to learn the discrepancy in what I thought was good pay and what is really good pay.
I also recently mentioned a book promotion (since a friend wrote a chapter and I KNOW he knows his stuff) about 20 ways to earn $100/ day. Before the book was promoted, I believe the question was posed of WOULD that do it for you? $3000/mos is really NOT a lot of money, but to some who have yet to earn .50 cents .. It sounds like a TON…. ok I am wandering..
There is no barometer to measure the salary an at home online marketer, so how do you know what you could earn, whats avg, and so on and so forth if you dont TALK about it!.. So in this world of ONLINE MARKETING where we make friends out of strangers via this forum, that social network, this 30 day challenge, etc.., and our ‘goal’ is one and the same, but so not…. do YOU talk money?
If prodded just a teensy bit, I will divulge all..
