As we fought our way through the line of giant Christmas trees and wild and crazy Holiday shoppers, my wife and I finally found “the prefect Christmas tree”.

WhackedOut Christmas Lights?

We bought the tree and a stand, and then nearly flew back home at blistering 35 miles per hour so the tree wouldn’t blow off the roof of my car.  

Frantic Holiday shoppers not wanting to miss a minute of the weekend after Thanksgiving shopping frenzy blew their horns begging me to pull over so they can pass me.

When we finally arrived home, we unpacked the Christmas lights for the tree (15 boxes of lights) and my wife immediately noticed the warning label, which alerted us to the fact that the Christmas tree lights contain lead.  Being the health-councious women my beautiful wife is, she asked if I wouldn’t mind doing the lights by myself.

I figured if the years of eating lead paint chips and 3 gallons of paste in kindergarden hasn’t hurt me yet, I must be immune to lead or something…

I looked up at the 10′ tree, then back down at the lights, and said… suuuure.

It took me over 3 hours to get all of the lights on the tree.  

Then something terrible happened two times.

And I hate to admit, but my wife even shed some tears last night…

As I write this, I’m looking out my window and I see that Christmas tree I worked so hard decorating, the tree that made me drive to Home Depot, Garden Ridge, and Lowes three different times, and to add to the mix, even some blood was shed.  (I carried in the tree myself with only few minor injuries.)

So what is our Christmas tree doing OUTSIDE of my house?

… And what in the hell does any of this have to do with Marketing for that matter?

The answers to the above questions will be posted within the next day or two… or… well… as soon as I can find a way to get this damn tree out of my backyard, I’ll fill you in on the rest of this horrible, horrible story.

My ADD has been kicking into high gear recently; I feel like I’m not able to keep up any more.  

It all stared back on a dark and stormy night back in 2003 when I did my first “Product Launch” that generated over $1,000,000 in sales for a company within the first few weeks.

Since then, I’ve created many other launches, but more importantly, I’ve watched and studied hundreds of product launches in many different niches over the years to get ideas for future launches.  It wasn’t too bad, really.  There was a major launch happening in the Internet Marketing industry every few weeks, and I could easily keep track of what was happening out there.

However, today is a different story.  Product Launches are happening daily - often several large launches happening each and every single day in the same industry.  And if you’re one of those people with ADD like me, then you know first-hand how overwhelming these launches have become.

In fact, it’s reached a point recently where I’ve had to opt-out of many, many lists that I’m on.  Sadly, I’ve had to opt-out not only from those who are doing or have done product launches, but I’ve also been opting out from the “Big Guru’s” lists.

Seeing over 100 emails come in a day talking about the latest and greatest product launch, jumping on the priority notification list to get a 20 minute head start, and on and on has become too overwhelming for me.

So today I officially quit trying to stay on top of every launch happening out there.  Some of you may think I was crazy trying to follow everything happening, but what I’ve learned over the years watching both successful launches and launches that ended up in the trash were worth their weight in gold.

It’s Time To Zig While The World Zags!

In my other life (I have a few identities online), I tell people that they need to zig while everyone else is zagging.  In other words, you need to find ways to make yourself (or your website) stand out and find ways to differentiate yourself.  And another way to put it… you may need to get a little Whacked Out.

Now let me ask you, if you were about to launch your cool new software that every Internet Marketer and Blogger absolutely must own, how would you get the attention of someone like me who is now off of most people’s lists?

Your JV partners won’t reach me with their messages.

Your squeeze page video… although I may watch it, the odds of me opting into your list are slim to none.

You need to start zigging to reach people like me.

Think out of the box.  Don’t be afraid to get a little Whacked Out.

You see, I’m in the process of planning a massive, massive launch for a new product/site I’m developing.  It’s in a highly competitive market with thousands of marketers all screaming and trying to get people’s attention.  In other words, it’s one of many niches where product launches easily fall into the abyss.

However, each and every single method that I’ll be using to initially launch the site are methods that (hopefully) will get the attention of my target market in ways that others have yet to figure out.  Every method requires me to truly get out of my comfort zone and not only step outside the box, but to run 32 miles away from it into unchartered waters.

Just for the fun of it, I may post some results on this blog.  Although I’ll never disclose the niche I’m jumping into, I’ll be able to share some of the methods I used and/or the numbers it generated.

Alright… I’ll fill you in on my plan… I’m planning on generating over 100,000 opt-ins in just a couple of months using some Whacked Out methods that I have never seen anyone do - as well as methods that I have seen some people do, but with some very unique twists on them.

I’ll also be trying to get a few sites to become highly viral and possibly even discussed in every newspaper and news station in the country.  (My big hairy goal.)

I will also be trying to get celebrity endorsements…

And… the goal here is to launch a million-dollar business within just a few months by using totally Whacked Out Marketing techniques.

Over the last several years, I’ve had all of these crazy marketing ideas plop into my head.  Most were laughable, but there were a few nuggets that I wrote down to save for a rainy day.

I decided to use each and every single one of my wild and crazy Whacked Out marketing ideas all at the same time to launch this new business.

Because I’m still several months away from the big official launch, I need to keep my mouth shut going forward.  However, I wanted to let you know what was in the works because if everything works according to plan, maybe… just maybe product launches as we know them today… will never be the same again.  :)

Here’s something for you website owners, blog owners, and article marketers…

Check this out: http://www.google.com/sktool/

If you’re doing any sort of keyword research, this is a really cool free keyword tool that you can use to do some snooping around.

All you need to do is type in a website address and Google will show you a large list of keywords that Google feels the website is about. Now understand that this is brand new and in beta, so you may get some strange non-matching results for a few keywords I noticed.

You can also see how much it would cost you per click on AdWords, and you can also add your own keywords or phrases to your search to get laser-targeted keywords, phrases, etc.

If you want to dive down even deeper, you can change the categories on the left and also click on “More Filters” to really get down into the nitty-gritty.

Pretty cool stuff.

I typed in one of my niche website addresses and was AMAZED by some of the keywords and phrases that were displayed - some of which gave me a few new ideas.  :)  Check it out!  http://www.google.com/sktool/

I just ordered the book, The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur on Amazon.  (Check out the reviews this book has - I just had to order it!)  How did I learn about it?  While surfing around a little this AM, I somehow found the site: http://www.PerfectBusiness.com and they had a recent video of Mike Michalowicz, the author of The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur.

If you’re even thinking of starting a new business and/or want to improve your business during these crazy whacked-out economic times, I suggest checking both out above.

In other news, I recently suffered (and survived) from an attack from the Blog Monster Virus.  It somehow found its way into my office and attacked me a month or two back.  Basically the Blog Monster Virus attacks your mind and does everything in its power to keep you from posting on your blog.  It’s terrible.

Thankfully, I am now cured and will be back to posting blog posts.

And you know, it got me thinking…

The Blog Monster Virus isn’t something many people talk about, but I come across blogs all day and every day where I see the owner must have caught the same virus as well.  Hopefully one day we’ll find a cure.

Real quick….

Rich just made an announcement that he’s releasing a new 300 page free report.

You can learn more about it by going to: http://www.strategicprofits.com/strategy/the-rumors-are-true-a-new-report-is-coming/

I’ve read all of Rich’s reports and always get a ton of great ideas/info from them.  Check it out… it’s 100% free.

Alright, so I broke the rule of not posting on my blog daily.  Shame on me.  The reason is because I’ve been quite busy working with some copywriting clients and some top secret projects.  (I know, that is no excuse.)  Besides that we went on a trip for by 30th birthday and we’re headed out on another trip in a few days to Mexico for another top secret project with the Government.

So many secrets…

Sadly, I will not have Internet access at the undisclosed location we’re staying at in Mexico for several days, so it looks like this blog will be sitting here quietly for a few days again.

However, I have a backlog of totally crazy WhackedOut Marketing information that I need to share with you ASAP.  So when I return, get ready for many new posts that will no doubt make your head spin.

Two Top Secret Reports

One of the things that I’ll be sharing with you is two reports that I wrote a couple weeks back.  One of them is a top secret method that I’ve used to make as much as $5,000 in profit on eBay using a truly unique method that can be duplicated in ANY niche.  Other times I’ve used the top secret method, I’ve made a few thousand here, a few thousand there… and sometimes only a few hundred.

It’s been something that I’ve been doing off and on for YEARS and I’ve never ever disclosed HOW I do it with anyone.  But one day while I was in the writing mood, I wrote a quick report on my top secret eBay profits method that I’ve been thinking about making public to just 97 people.  I’ll fill you in on the details when I return.

The other top secret report was written after I wrote the eBay report.  It’s about a new Product Launch Method I created - and it’s something that can be used in your on-going marketing for any product or service in any niche.  So it’s not just for product launches…. it’s something that EVERYONE should be using if they market any product or service on the Internet.

I have yet to see ONE (besides the one I did a little while ago) marketer using this method in their marketing.

In fact, it’s so profound that I firmly believe that once you read the report, you’ll say “I get it!” and you’ll spend a couple of hours putting everything into place.

Now, I’m doing my best not to “hype” this up - but it’s very, very exciting.  I know it works, I’ve seen the results, and you’ll nearly kill your competition in any market - and they won’t know what hit them.

In other news…

Blog makes $600+ profit in first 30 days

I mention on a page somewhere on this site that I’ll not be providing income stats like many other blogs out there today.  However, I just wanted to point out something to you and you will never ever see me post anything like this again.

Ever.

This blog that you’re looking at right now made over $600 in profit within the first 30 days of going live.  I think that’s pretty cool and adds a little spice of motivation for me to keep posting daily (when I’m not traveling the world on top secret missions).

The only reason why I decided to share this with you today is simply because I wanted to provide a little motivation for you to start your own blog on any subject.  Do you collect sand samples when you travel to different beaches?  Blog about it!  Do you like to garden?  Blog about it!  Do your neighbors drive you crazy with their very, very odd behaviors?  Blog about it!

Just think… if you have a few blogs making $100 or so a month, you’ll never have to worry about gas prices and you can ignore the conversations instead of bitching and complaining like the rest of them.  Instead you can tell people that whenever you want money for gas, you sit down and write for 10 minutes.  That’ll really make their heads spin.

Alright - I’ll be back soon…

P.S… I received my Nitro Quattro course in the mail yesterday.  I’ll be providing a complete review of the Internet Marketing Course with you soon.  It’s HUGE and HEAVY.  I’ve thumbed through some of the manual this AM and I’m VERY impressed!

Nitro Quattro is a 4-step system 

(Quattro is Spanish for 4) with legendary status among the gurus in the Internet Marketing community. Yes, many BIG name gurus swear by this system.

What exactly does Quattro do?  It basically SUPERSIZES your customer value, instantly and automatically.

FACT: Nitro took a 6 year “dead” ebook worth $27 dollars and plugged it into the Quattro system.  

Results: The customer value soared from $27 to an astonishing $429!

Next, there was this guy selling really weird crap in strange little niches.  He watched a bootleg copy of the 60 minute Quattro presentation from an event in Boise.

Results: In two months he added $2 Million dollars to his bottom line - without any additional traffic or higher conversion rates.  Then there’s the tale of QUATROZILLA.

A guy running a successful online business ($550K a year) plugged into the Quattro system… and guess what happened?  Same business, only now it’s on pace to generate $8.3 Million dollars a year.
