How many Twitter friends do you have? It’s really become quite a funny contest lately, and there are variety of ways in which some are increasing their “followers”.

I’m about to hit 1000 followers, and am proud to say I’ve done it the non-cheesy way. However, others are taking the Gorgonzola approach and doing all kinds of silly stuff to appear more popular then they really are.

Here’s today’s number one cheesy way to “appear popular” on Twitter…

Some people have a theory that if someone follows you, you should follow them. That’s okay if that’s how you want to do it. Personally I only follow a small amount of friends.

The reason to keep the amount of people you follow to a small amount can be for a variety of reasons. First, it’s just really distracting sometimes. Secondly, some people consider it a positioning thing. If they were to follow too many people it may look like a desperate attempt to garner a bunch of followers through reciprocal following. It’s a low perceived value! And hey, this game is all about perceptions right?

Following a bunch of people is fine, if that’s what you want to do. Nothing wrong with that at all. But here is where it gets all extra Gouda-ish (another smelly cheese)….

Follow a few thousand people, and get them to follow you. Then, all the sudden go on a massive “Unfollow” spree and delete all those people. Now, it appears like you have 2500 people following you, but you are too cool to do the same. Wow, you are so popular now!

It’s actually a pretty good strategy in a slimy and cheesy sort of way. But, it’s pretty lame if you ask me.

So instead I build my Twitter list the old fashion way, and focus on people that really do want to hear from me instead of gaming a bunch of peeps into following me, then just parsing them from the list.

Is it me, or is this a cheesy strategy? Would love to hear your opinions.

Cheers,

J-Mo

PS: Does anyone ever use these little bookmark thingy’s at the end of blog posts? I’m curious.

Some people may think I never see the messages they post to me about me on Twitter. Think again. I have a variety of ninja tools to keep tabs on the latest gossip about myself, and others.

In the video below, I show you how to use a site called Summize. Summize is a conversational search engine for Twitter that allows you to see who’s talking trash, biz, or just gooey gossip. Watch in as I decide to pick on Shoemoney to spy on.

PS: It was pretty cool to see that Tony Flores used my testimonial that I sent him via Facebook the other day. I had no clue! It was a 100% honest message that was not intended to be a testimonial (which many times make the best one).

I have a hard time letting go of the task of checking my own emails and such. It just seems a bit weird to let someone else handle this tasks because many of the mails I get are personal, or they just need my personal attention.

Many successful entrepreneurs might think I’m crazy to field all my own mails, but it’s just the way I like to do it. I like to stay in touch with what’s going on, and am genuinely curious about people’s problems, desires, and ideas.

However, with over 6000 people on my marketing list, my niche lists over 10,000 people, over 1100 Facebook friends, nearly 900 Twitter friends, 700 Myspace friends, and a pile of email addresses it is nearly impossible for me to respond to all the messages I get. And that makes me feel a bit bad because inevitably I know some people think that I am ignoring them, or simply don’t care. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I sift through all my own emails for a reason… to stay close to the market. I really want to know what is going on. Sadly though, I can’t possibly reply to all the requests I get by myself. So the dilemma arises about hiring a personal assistant to field all these inquiries. I’m not sure what to do.

For now, I try to answer the emails and messages that are really important. Customers are the first priority. If you’ve paid me money, then I really do try to answer every one of those emails. However, sometimes a few slip through the cracks. If that has ever happened to you, I do sincerely apologize. It was not intentional.

Also, I tend to ignore many messages because they are simply “time wasters”. Same thing goes with messages that are 30 paragraphs long.

Here’s a hint to getting a quick reply from me… Make your question or inquiry a “quick one”. State what you need in a couple sentences and be specific. Spare the drama stories (you’d be amazed at how many incredibly sad stories I get on a weekly basis) and focus on the main point you are trying aim at.

I tend to respond to people pro-actively doing stuff much more-so then someone who is having tons of problems and thinks I’m the compassionate ear willing to hear their tales of woe. I don’t mean to be insensitive but there is only so much time in this world, and to be honest, I’m more into paying attention to positive things then the negative.

Anyhow, I just don’t want anyone to feel like a neglected response is a personal insult or a silent attack in any way. The lack of response is simply because of sheer volume of mail and messages and it may have got lost in the clutter, or because I feel it’s a waste of my time.

Time is precious. Every moment of the day means alot to me. And I don’t like to have it wasted. Obviously, I need to get a assistant to handle some of this stuff for me, but for now, I field all my own emails, read them all, and try to reply when I can.

Soon I may add a “paid email service” that guarantees a response. I know some people wouldn’t mind paying a small monthly fee to ensure they had their questions answered.

Right now, the best way to get in contact with me is in the Easy Video Sales Mastermind area.

If you are not a member in there, I think you are totally missing out.

A couple of weeks ago my buddy “Tea-Bag Smith” came out for a visit to the LaJolla Headquarters. Tea Bag is Frank Kern’s derelict cousin Trey from Macon Georgia.

His website is ultra famous in somewhere like Bulgaria or something I think. It’s incredibly informative and really does a great job of giving away valuable content. See for yourself at… http://www.treylives.com

Anyhow, just to prove to you how idiotic Trey is I submit to the jury… Evidence piece number one… http://twitpic.com/zgk

Now who in their right minds would think those dudes were pulling in millions of dollars on the internet while acting like Eric Cartman 90% of the time? This blog post does have a purpose, trust me. I’ll get to that now.

So Trey and I were talking a bit about “masterminds” and how effective they really were. Both of us agreed they were great ways to spawn new ideas, and the banter between like minded people was great. But there still seemed to be something missing in most of the masterminds that I’ve been a part of or witnessed.

And that missing piece is a “brotherhood”.

It’s a step beyond the mastermind. Because let’s face it, even in the mastermind sessions most people don’t expose everything. Everyone is usually holding back on revealing all their cards no matter how close the mastermind group is. Inevitably there will always be a few people who don’t respect the entire group and are there to rape and pillage ideas and profit from them.

Luckily for Trey, he’s in a wicked killer mastermind group. One that most would salivate to be part of. But not all mastermind groups are of the same value.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting that you should steer clear of mastermind groups. Far from it. But I do encourage you to be very selective about who you choose to share your ideas with. And preferably, pick a lot of people that are way smarter then you!

Ultimately though, you want to craft a “Brotherhood” of guys or gals that you feel 100% secure with. I’ll admit, it’s not always that easy to find this type of click or gang to attach yourself to, but when you do it’s even more powerful then the mastermind.

And when you are in the brotherhood, there is no doubt that you are there for genuine purposes and not to leach ideas and money from the others. When you find this type of brotherhood, everything changes. Everything becomes easier all the sudden. And it creates a atmosphere where real ideas can freely be shared and built upon without fear that someone is going to ape your invention and run off to the marketplace with it by next week.

Even better then the networking, ideas, and money the brotherhood can yield is the old fashion “fun factor”. I’d take fun over money any day of the week. Give me ten dollars and a surf board and I’m a billion times richer then some schmuck stuck in traffic to his corporate suit and tie gig that pays him 5 million a year. No thanks.

I’ll just chill with the brotherhood and relax.

In the next couple years things are going to get really crazy online. Heck, they are already crazy, but I sense a HUGE shift in the marketing world, and if you don’t have some brothers on your team, it may be much harder then you are prepared for.

So if you are currently in a mastermind, or thinking about getting into one, I urge you to think a bit beyond that as well. Try to pinpoint some other folks who match your ideals, lifestyle, and aspirations and see if you can evolve that into a “Brotherhood”.

The key is finding people “like you”. A church preacher is very unlikely to join the brotherhood of the “Hells Angels” just as a multi millionaire is probably not going to be spending a ton of time with a newbie with too many questions.

Gauge where you are at, where you want to be, and whom you can align yourself with that makes sense in the long haul. Look for brothers, not just mastermind dudes who don’t respect the mastermind.

I’ve been very fortunate to be able to see some incredibly successful masterminds develop in front of my eyes. ie Eben Pagan, Frank Kern, Jeff Walker, and others in that circle all have some deep stuff going on. I’ve been even more fortunate to bypass the whole mastermind thing and get right down to joining the brotherhood.

And let me tell you, the perks are much better.

And heck, the fridge is always stocked with cold Mexican Beers when you’re with your brothers.

Peace,

J-Mo

Few people truly grasp the real power of compelling and effective copywriting. Many think they can simply create a kick ass product, write a sales letter, and shove traffic to it and BAMM… it’s time to sip fruity drinks on the warm white sands of Hawaii.

Haha, far from it. Yet most internet marketing guru’s seldom tell you just how important the copy really is. They are too busy shoving their SEO, Pay Per Click methods, or Software Building programs down your throat instead of focusing on the one true thing that will help you cash in better then anything.

I’m talking about copywriting and the power of persuasion in print. However, copywriting is in no way limited to just the print medium. Just about everything is copy.

Remember when you were trying to whisper sweet nothings into some beautiful blondie’s ear while making out in the back of your Camaro at the drive in movies? You’d say anything to be able to slide those sweet pink panties off her hips and past her ankles.

Those convincing words coming out of your mouth at that moment, yep, it was copy.

And when you are fighting a traffic ticket in court and presenting your best case to the judge to prove your innocence. That’s copy too.

And when you tried to convince your parents that they should help pay for college. That’s copy as well.

Most people might know me as the guy who makes silly videos as opposed to the guy who writes killer copy. However, even those videos are a perfect example of copywriting in action. Those videos have to present a offer, are layered with verbal cues intended to elicit a action, and they build relationships just like you would when writing a letter.

I hope you understand that just about everything you do is COPY!

But for some reason people are deathly afraid of the idea of having to write a sales pitch, yet they do it unconsciously everyday. Also, copywriting does not seem super glamorous or exciting to most people.

However, if you adjust the way you think about copy and writing, it can be a riveting and exciting experience. Once you realize that you can “get your way” with a few words here and there it’s a light bulb moment that never dims.

I’ve never really worried about making the bills, going broke, or having my business go into the shitter because I’ve always known… “I can just write some good copy to dig myself out of the rut”.

I wish everyone had the same feeling, and had confidence in their ability to pick up a pencil and create income on demand. And keep in mind, I’ve had all my success with lists that are under 10,000 people. The art of communicating with these people is actually quite simple for me now. Sadly, that’s not the case for most marketers out there.

I want that to change for you. And it needs to start now.

The more effort you put into becoming a better copywriter, the easier everything in your life becomes. Because remember, it’s all about persuasion in many forms. It is not just writing some salesletter.

Right now, I want you to check out a free report called “The Copywriting Conspiracy” put together by Anthony Flores at the Clayton Makepeace headquarters.

Listen, I’m gonna tell you straight up front, these guys are going to try and sell you something soon. And I want you to watch exactly how they do it. And be careful, because they are DAMN GOOD.

However, right this moment they are giving away this report and a few others for free that really explain why copywriting is such an essential tool you MUST HAVE to succeed with longevity in this game.

I want you to pick up a copy and read it, then read it again. It is that important.

There’s a huge difference between the “A Level” writers and the “B Level”. And without mentoring or studying under a “A Level” dude, it’s unlikely most will ever grasp the most important talent in all of marketing.

I want you to have that talent. I want you to succeed and not give up on projects that should be winners but are just lacking a few simple tricks that could sky-rocket your conversions.

Do yourself a huge favor and check out what Clayton Makepeace is putting together at…

PS: There are only a few dudes I really, really, really think are at the top of game in copywriting. And many of you know I don’t even like to read that much.

Clayton Makepeace is one of those dudes, and I actually enjoy reading his stuff. Not only do I enjoy it, it sparks ideas in me that help me to make a ton of loot. And I’m sure you can do the same.

Wow, Mike’s employees sure are a fun and crazy crew.  And we caught em on FILM!  See the video below… and make sure to grab your copy of the 7 Figure Secrets at… http://www.jasonmoffatt.com/mike/

There has been quite a bit of controversy and debate going on about this offer around the marketing world. In fact, there is some complaining going on right now in the comments of this blog. I don’t edit my comments, and allow people to voice their feelings.

However, on this particular promo, I think Mike did a outstanding job of alerting people of the monthly charges, and didn’t try to be slick about anything. Yet, people still complain. And guess what? I’m pretty confident many of these folks would complain no matter what the offer is.

I don’t mean to be a hard ass, but people need to accept some damn responsibility and pay attention to what they are ordering. And in this case, it’s dead simple to see what is going on. And if for any reason you don’t want to continue your membership, all you have to do is call the phone number they provide in plain site on their website.

So kudo’s Mike on being a bad ass salesman, aggressive, and in my mind completely ethical. Anyone who has a problem with these continuity issues, then don’t participate. Personally, I think it’s good business and the offer on the Seven Figure Secrets is beyond solid.

Once again, here’s my link… (grab a copy today)

http://www.jasonmoffatt.com/mike/

Take care, and enjoy

PS: I was watching the 7 Figure Code DVD’s today and picked up just one simple idea that will take me about 15 minutes to implement and I’m confident it will stick a few extra thousand bucks in my pocket this year. Mike is one smart cookie!
