Tim Ferris Interview

December 14th, 2009

4HourWorkWeek
I just got done listening to a webinar featuring Tim Ferris. Tim is coming out with a new and expanded version of his book, “The 4 Hour Work Week”. There are more than 100 pages of new, cutting-edge content in the new version. It will be debuting tomorrow, Tuesday, Dec. 15th.

One of the things that Tim spoke about is that the most effective person who makes decisions actually make very few decisions. He said that the questions the most effective people ask themselves when confronted with an issue is that they determine whether it is a one time occurrence or repeatable. If it is repeatable, then they can formulate a policy that will handle the situation in the future. If it is a one time occurrence, depending on availability, it can be delegated or outsourced.

Tim is heads above the rest when it comes to utilizing existing knowledge and if he doesn’t know it, finding someone who does. I’ve already pre-ordered and it will get sent tomorrow. If you haven’t read the original, shame on you. It has launched more people into their businesses of their own than any other single thing withing the last 2 years. You can pick it up for 41% discount below. Enjoy.


Made My Day

maslowMy Twitter Account
Yesterday I was looking at my twitter account and ran across these two tweets. It made me feel great. I have the ability to drive a lot of traffic but rarely are they ever to a page or site that says to purchase anything. They are simply posts that help inform, educate, show how-to, help to make decisions, and to motivate. They offer value. Of course not everything that gets tweeted is advertising or spam, there are a lot of great quotes and links to breaking news. Sad to say though is that the majority of it is just that, advertising and spam. People just don’t understand that people don’t want to get sold to. They still have the old school mentality and are using Twitter as a advertising portal. They don’t get that when people are put into situations where they are being sold to, their natural tendency is to run away.

Dr. Joyce Knudsen
It appears Joyce had a lot more to say than she could in a tweet so she had to have two. I’ll bet my tweets stood out like a sore thumb. I get a lot of the same types of responses on my Facebook page as well. I treat it the same way.

As contradictory as this sounds, online marketing is a people business. It’s about nurturing relationships. About helping and educating people that you’ve come to know. It’s about sharing your personalities and nuances with each other. It’s empathy and understanding. Selling is never about the product. It’s about relationships.

Thank you so much Joyce!

Content Syndication News

webProviding Phenomenal Value
I’ve been a bit derelict in my duty and have been a bit sparse on my posts. I have been working on some projects related to this blog and you should start seeing some more concrete content and some action items that you’ll be able to implement. What’s the purpose? Well it’s to drive a lot more traffic to your blog. In fact, I’m sure of it that you’ll be getting more traffic. You’ll be able to start converting sales in your funnels and building your lists. “That’s a bold statement there Chris”, I can hear you saying. Why am I saying this? I’ve had some concrete examples that I implemented earlier this week and have had some fantastic results. As you know I’m big on leadership and one of the tenets that I’ve taken to heart over the last 6 months is to provide value to others. Phenomenal value. Not only do I want to provide content that educates, informs, shows how to, helps people make decisions, and motivate them, I also want to make sure what I provide them is something that is efficient and has solid reasons to why I do things the way I do. IN my mind, If I can’t, then I’m not doing my job.

This post contains some nomenclature that not everyone is accustomed to. If you sign up for my 101 Traffic Generating ideas on the right hand side of this page you will learn about what exactly I’m talking about and how it can catapult your traffic.

Great News For You!
One of the things that I did earlier this week and am excited to share with you was to implement a strategy with a customized web site I built to help with content syndication. It integrates with bit.ly and some other twitter tools. It’s about 95% ready for prime time and you will be hearing more about it in the near future. On Monday morning I went through a cycle of what would occur if I had a content syndication group or tribe. This would be a small group of 5 people. I syndicated 4 other people’s last blog post. I created a flood of tweets that was syndicated to my twitter followers. As I write, the 4 different blog posts received 394 hits, 323 hits, 233 hits, and 170 hits. These were distinctly because of my efforts. The statistics were tracked by bit.ly. They averaged around 280 hits each. So lets do the math. If you write 2 posts a week and have one of your tribe members syndicate it. That would be 2 x 280 = 560 unique hits to your blog. Well you wouldn’t have just one tribe member do it, you would have 3 more. So the number of hits to your blog would be 4 x 560 = 2240 a week. Then 4 weeks x 2240 = 8960 hits a month. What is also exciting about this is it should only take about 1 hour per week per tribe member. The time it took me to drive the traffic mentioned above was about 80 minutes. If you have time for 10 or 20, why not? So with 10 it could be 20K visitors a month. 20 could be 40K visitors a month. What it comes down to is you just need to create quality content for others to syndicate and syndicate theirs. There will be more to come on this for sure.

Proof of Concept
Secondly, because I have tangible proof of this working I had some people start calling me a expert in the area and it is something that really excites me, I decided to specialize in it. It really does cover many things across many applications and social media sites and using social media in general. There are best practices and strategies that can help you optimize your experiences and results. These are things that I provide in my training package in depth and will be covering fairly well in my 101 Traffic Strategy series that you can sign up for.

Focus on Content Syndication
So I will be covering the same types of things that I have in the past but you can start expecting more dealing with content syndication. I also will be giving away a sealed copy of Jonathan Budd’s “Top Producer Mastermind Formula” retailing at around $500 smackers after I receive 303 opt-ins. I’ll figure out a way to randomly draw a subscriber. It could be you. And one more thing. Shoot me an email at chris.1.blog@gmail.com telling me about 10 people you told about my blog and how you told them to sign up for the 101 Traffic Strategies. If you do so, I will shoot out a blast of traffic your way. Make sure to give me the url of your blog.

Have a remarkable evening.
