In my last blog post I emphasised that if getting marketed to upsets you then you’re probably not going to make it online as you need to watch other marketers to learn from them.
Well today I am going to talk a little about investing in your business. The same thing applies here. If you really, and I mean really want to succeed online you must invest in your business. Allow me to explain.
First of all let me ask you if you are building a mailing list with an autoresponder service such as Aweber? I know from the survey I asked my subscribers to complete back in January that over three quarters were not building a mailing list. And that’s after they were probably sick of me saying this is the number one thing you need to be doing online.
If you are one of the three quarters who are not yet building a list why not? You know that the most important thing you need to be doing to build your online business is build a mailing list so why haven’t you invested in such a service? You do know every day you make an excuse or put this off is another day wasted don’t you?
This is an example of not investing in your business.
Let me ask you another question?
If you could learn from someone who has built a mailing list of over half a million (yes I said half a million) subscribers and earns millions of dollars a year for only $7.99 would that be a wise investment? If you think not I really don’t know what to say …
… let me explain something. I bought The 7 Figure Code back in July 2007 for $497.00 (it costs $1297.00 now) and I learned some crucial business strategies that I may not be using today if it weren’t for that course.
Things such as:-
Buying yourname.com (if you haven’t done this yet do it now before someone else does)
Building a blog (look when I started this blog, 5 weeks after I received the course)
Installing a helpdesk (started just after installing my blog, it cut down my workload tenfold)
Focussing on creating one product at a time (I used to be all over the place but now I am more focussed and never work on more than one project at a time as it kills productivity)
How to correctly launch a product (I have had 3 $50,000+ product launches in the last 6 months. One day I will have a million dollar product launch.
And lots more I really can’t reveal in a single blog post.
Now while I actually consider myself to be quite knowledgeable these were things I learned as a direct result of buying The 7 Figure Code.
And it doesn’t stop there.
Back in January 2006 I purchased Butterfly Marketing from Mike for $997.00 (it costs $1497.00 now).
This resulted in me creating the following sites.
http://www.freemonthlywebsites.com/
http://www.tenthousanddollarauction.com/secrets/
http://www.auctionsalessuccess.com/members/
http://www.auctiongiveaway.com/
http://www.createprofitableebooks.com/
The above sites have generated well over $200,000 in sales and over 26,000 subscribers.
Butterfly Marketing was probably my most successful purchase online as it enabled me to take things to the ‘next level’. And you can learn everything you need to know about Butterfly Marketing from the Butterfly Marketing Manuscript that is included free with Mikes offer.
So let me ask you again?
If you could learn from someone who has built a mailing list of over half a million subscribers and earns over a million dollars a year for only $7.99 would that be a wise investment?
If you’re still thinking about this I seriously think you need to take a long hard look at your plans for the future. I am not saying I owe all my success to what I learned from The 7 Figure Code and Butterfly Marketing but I can say it has helped me earn a lot more money.
And even if you can take one, just one golden nugget from reading The 7 Figure Secrets or the Butterfly Marketing Manuscript wouldn’t it be money well spent?
Remember! You are getting what is effectively the same information some people have paid $5000 for. You are also getting the Butterfly Marketing Manuscript and I know you will learn from that. And on top of that I am including what is probably my best bonus offer ever.
But time is running out…
I have discovered that Mikes offer will be pulled for a while on Sunday. I don’t know what his plans are but I do know once the site is put back up the offer won’t be as sweet, I know he definitely won’t be including the Butterfly Marketing Manuscript in his offer.
And as a result I will be pulling my bonus offer on Sunday. So now is the time to make your final decision.
Check out the bonuses I am offering at:

Check out the bonuses Mike is offering at:
https://the7figuresecrets.com/
And make the right decision.
In Closing… I don’t think I have ever put so much effort into promoting someone else’s product. I have tried to let you see things differently but if you really, really want to grow your business then this could be your most crucial investment ever.

June 12, 2008Hi John
GREAT post and one I can truly relate to…
Listening and watching other marketers is great – DEPENDING ON if they are what they say they are… allow me to explain.
If you remember a few years ago, when I had just started in INTERNET Marketing, (having had a background in DIRECT Marketing) I was kind naive and took advice from “a marketer” to take someones product and turn it into my “own”… I did it, the WRONG way…
In fact John, it was with one of YOUR own products… as you’ll remember – I quickly phoned you up to apologise and explain my side of the story.
I learned a valuable lesson that day, and went away feeling a little deflated because I had been tricked by a nobody…
I learned to learn from the best…
I literally spent the first YEAR with 20+ HOUR DAYS, soaking up all the knowledge I could on Internet Marketing, from the big name guru’s like Mike Filsaime, Russell Brunson, Rich Schefren, Ewen Chia – and even yourself…
I then realised that investment in my business was crucial, so I quickly bought Butterfly Marketing, Product Launch Formula & 7 Figure Code too… but I soon realised investment in MYSELF was just as important, and so I aligned myself WITH Tom Beal and got into Mike Filsaime’s coaching programme…
Being disabled – in a wheelchair, marketing IS my passion, I love what I do as I am now seeing thr fruits from my labour, and I know that in 5 years time I’ll be doing HUGE launches myself.
I mean, I am on the verge of a JV with Michael Cheney – have JV’d with Reen Floren, have testimonials from Mark Joyner, David Cavanagh and Tom Beal respectively…
ALL THIS has come directly from as you so rightly say John…
“Watching & Learning”
Great post, well written.

June 13, 2008Hi John, I agree totally. I remember I invested $997 in John Reese’s Traffic Secrets course, which by the way I brought on the recommendation of Mike Filsaime. I have made a bare minimum of at least $60,000 from that $997 investment.
Regarding building a list, my list is only a little over 300 people but I’ve already made more in affiliate commissions than I pay per year for my Aweber subscription. Another worthwhile investment.
I also own Butterfly Marketing and the 7 Figure Code DVD set. Both excellent investments. I recommend if you are on the fence about this, get off the fence. I mean come on it’s less than $15 bucks regardless of where you are in the world. You don’t think Mike can teach you one thing to help you at least make your $15 back?
