Here’s the item that I mentioned in my ezine earlier today.
It’s an email that I sent to my list in September 2007.
Last night, one of my subscribers walked up to me, and gave
me a very hearty thanks! He told me what a difference that
email had made in his life.
That’s what makes published an ezine, and coaching other
aspiring marketers so worthwhile.
Here’s that email.
Subject: I Need A HUGE Favor Please 
Good morning Jim.
After 11 years of online trial and error, testing and
tweeking, successes and yes… failures, I woke up one day and
found myself an online success and “a role model.”
That started the problems that I now need your help with.
If you’re in a hurry, just go here:

After I started figuring out “the internet marketing game,” I
felt compelled to teach as many people as practical – what
actually works. I saw thousands of people REALLY struggling,
and spending lots of time and money on things that COULD NOT work.
The stories that I could tell you would really break your heart!
I distinctly remember an elderly gentleman from Jacksonville,
Floria who had invested thousands of dollars in “guaranteed
traffic.” Those visitors probably were actually sent to his
website, but not even ONE subscribed or contacted him. The
problem was that those visitors had no intererst in what he
was selling, and they were “delivered” to his site using
trickery.
I remember talking to one “guru” who told me of once hiring
a search engine optimization firm that “hooked him” by bragging
that they could do things to his site GUARANTEED to increase his
traffic significantly.
Then, they took his thousands of dollars, spent a small fraction
of that on pay-per-click traffic, and kept the rest. This
seasoned marketer saw a big, but temporary jump in traffic, and
assumed that it was SEO tricks that caused this. It was only
months later, when traffic fell back to normal that he sifted
through his website logs and figured out what had happened.
I’ve seen far too many people selling website packages where
you brought someone in for free, and then made your money
when they upgraded. You earned no money on free signups, you
only earned a commission when a free signup was upgraded.
The “UPGRADE” was to the status that allowed THEM to earn
commissions on others who upgraded.
In that last SCAM, there is not even a real product… you’re
just paying for the right to get paid when others that you
trick to sign up, decide to upgrade. Fortunately, schemes
like that are quickly closed down by the FTC!
After watching enough retired school teachers, work-at-home
moms, ministers, doctors, lawyers, computer programmers…
people from all walks of life, get BURNED, I made it my mission
to spend the rest of my online time teaching those “willinging”
to be taught…
How To Actually Build A Successful Online Business Instead
Of Chasing After Unworkable Schemes.
I adopted the mantra, “No man has the right to play with
another man’s dreams!”
I believe in and feel committed to that mantra to the very
core of my being.
That takes us back to THE PROBLEM and THE SOLUTION…
On my blog, I’ll post a screen shot of my inbox from just
ONE of my private message (PM) boxes from one of dozens of
websites that I’m an active member at. That inbox rarely gets
below 500 messages waiting for me to respond to, or go back
and work on when the timing is right!
Like many, I literally get thousands of emails to several
email addresses EVERY day. No, I can’t, and don’t try to read
them all. I have an assistant who logs-in before I’m
scheduled to, and deletes all that are obviously spam. Certain
emails are also immediately routed to people assigned to take
care of them based upon certain filters that I have set up.
Still, I found the demands on my time so INCREDIBLE that I
needed a better way to help MORE honest, hard-work,
often-desparate, people who came to me for coaching, mentoring,
and advice.
My solution was to put together an online community where
not only I, but dozens of others just as committed to helping
you, could coach and teach in a group setting. That’s a BIG
part of what The Internet Marketing Inner Circle is.
The favor that I need from you today is for you to take a
minute and check out this site. Simply visit:
http://TheInternetMarketingInnerCircle.com
When you check out the site, you’ll discover what hundreds of
others have… that it’s just what the doctor ordered. I hate
hype, and appreciate the fact that you’re intelligent enough
to evaluate things for yourself. So I just ask you to take a
look now.
I’ll close by sharing with you some of the comments from our
site members… our family

“Hi Willie,
When I first started to write this note to you, it turned out to
be a long article, mostly about what I have gained from being
associated with you, in friendship and business.
I though I had better cut it down to make it believable. In
short, I first found out about Willie in the first generation
Warrior Forum in the late 90′. Responding to each others forum
posts. Then it graduated to me sending a couple of email
questions, then a phone call, visits, meets at conferences and
more.
Willie, the reason I mention this is it shows how we have built
a relationship over the years that has let me into your personal
circle. Thank you.
Now, for anyone else who happens to be reading this, I should
tell you that I have been a part of The Internet Marketing Inner
Circle from the beginning. I have seen it grow from the original
idea.
There is much more to come. But more importantly, I have been
studying the audios, the PDFs, and I have been participating in
the forum. As a forum member, asking questions or asking for
help, has given something we in the internet world crave.
Instant Gratification: And now looking at the updated offers, I
am betting that some of you will enjoy the bonuses as much as
the main products.
Join us in the Inner Circle, I would love to meet you.”

“Everybody who’s anybody is in here! Within a few hours of
joining I had connected to 3 knowledgeable experts. Re-connected
with people I had known from other places online, put myself
forward to join in an event and provided other members with
information about what I do online. You get an opportunity to
showcase what you do so that as members we all get to know each
other. That’s how true community is created. This is not only a
place to expand your mind and your income but also a place to
expand your online connections too! I wouldn’t hesitate in
recommending membership of the internet marketing inner circle
because diversity and inclusiveness are celebrated and
encouraged. Its less of an ‘ole boys club and more like a
family.”

“If you’re an aspiring marketer looking for proven ways to make
money online, you naturally wonder what you need to do avoid
costly, time-wasting false-starts. My advice now consists of
three succinct words:
‘Simply come here.’
The Internet Marketing Inner Circle is exactly what the name
implies: a gateway to true insider’s knowledge, information that
prevents you from kissing frogs and permits you to build
momentum out of the gate.
You’ll learn from leaders such as Lynn Terry, Rosiland Gardner,
Gina Gaudio-Graves, Rebecca Hagel, Jane Mark, Thea Swafford and
other remarkably talented women.
And Willie Crawford, Dr. Mani, Paul Myers, Mike Filsaime, Marlon
Sanders, John Hostler and other remarkably talented men will
help shape your thinking and keep you on the right track.
This is a unique opportunity, one that already has made a
difference in my marketing life and will continue to do so.”

“Joining The Internet Marketing Inner Circle was without doubt
the best decision I’ve made since I started out online!
Since I registered my first domain 1997 I’ve joined many forums
and membership sites. Most of them offer products, courses and
software for download and have a forum. So what makes The
Internet Marketing Inner Circle different from them?
First off, Willie Crawford! Having easy access to your advice
and knowledge is priceless.
The way you dedicate time, share your knowledge and keep pushing
as well as helping all the Inner Circle members in the forum,
only a fool would choose not join the site now!
The members are an amazing bunch of marketers and the total
amount of knowledge found among them rivals that of any other
hot forum online. I’m so happy I joined as I’ve made JV’s,
connected with new marketers, made new friends and not to
forget, had a really good time as a member.
So let me thank you for running this site and for the increased
success I’ve had since I joined!”
