The Evolution of an Internet Marketing Titan. Today, StomperNet announces that the management isn't the only thing about to change.

July 30, 2009 -  Last week, Andy Jenkins and Brad Fallon negotiated the future of their online school of IM education, StomperNet. When they emerged, Brad Fallon was the new CEO and Andy Jenkins was moving to California.  Each is pleased with the turn of events. And each other.

"That's about the size of it," reports Jenkins. "It's really that simple. People are speculating like crazy about what kind of behind-the-scenes dramatics went on, but it's something far more boring: I was ready to pass the StomperNet baton in order to work on other stuff. Brad was ready to take it."

"The only fireworks are those we see happening online with all the gossip and rumors." chuckles Brad Fallon "Frankly, we were surprised by how much everyone cared! Happy…but surprised."

But it's no wonder this announcement has caused so much speculation. StomperNet, which opened its doors in October 2006, has been the talk of the IM space for years. They broke records when they first launched, selling over 2000 membership slots, at a price point of $10,000/year (Or $800/month.) Over the last three years, they’ve assembled a faculty of world-class subject matter experts on virtually every aspect of internet marketing.  This faculty guides and educates their members (who refer to themselves a "Stompers.")

Jenkins, Fallon and this esteemed StomperNet faculty have also compiled the largest, most comprehensive IM library of over 1400 videos, audios, and other online courses.  They host a vibrant community of online entrepreneurs, who regularly share tips and advice in the famous StomperNet forums. Forums that are currently going almost 200,000 posts strong.

StomperNet Live events are also legendary, attracting top speakers from all over the world to address Stompers and help them grow their businesses. The popular  “site review” section of the Live Events also makes StomperNet Live events extra unique. Attendees can submit their URL and enjoy a thorough one-on-one analysis of their site, conducted by a StomperNet faculty member. Attendees have called these personal reviews "priceless" and "the smartest thing I've ever done for my business."

As if that wasn't enough, last year StomperNet launched another new product. One that was – once more – unlike anything else seen in the IM market. Called "The Net Effect", this printed monthly journal is sent to subscribers in more than 200 countries, and is more handbook than magazine. Its focus? Teaching readers tactics and strategies that will allow them to maximize their presence (and profitability) online. Each issue features instructive, execution-focused articles penned by the StomperNet faculty and other featured writers. At the end of each issue is a summarizing checklist that combines all the action items discussed throughout of the magazine. Readers report that they love to tear these checklists out and work on them each month.

"As big as StomperNet is right now…we're about to get bigger." explains Fallon, "I can't go into the details yet, but suffice it to say that this Fall will see some incredible new offerings from StomperNet. Stuff people have been begging us to do for years now. We're incredibly excited about the future of StomperNet and our mission of supporting internet entrepreneurism around the world."

Want to learn how to create "Information Products" that literally SELL THEMSELVES?

Would you like to listen in on a free live interview between me and a guy who has built a $25 Million per year business selling Information Products online?

On Tuesday the 19th, at 3 PM Pacific / 6 PM EST I'm going to be hosting a live teleclass with Eben Pagan, the creator of the "GURU MasterMind" training program for authors, speakers, coaches and others who want to learn how to publish and make money with Information Products online.

Eben has spoken to our StomperNet Elite at our LIVE Events several times, and I've even had him do special presentations for StomperNet affiliates – the stuff he shares is THAT good.

In fact, you know that whole "give away something great for free and make a bunch of money" thing I've been talking about for weeks?

We call it "moving the free line" and I learned it from Eben.  So there.

On this teleclass, Eben is going to share:

• The 3 Information Product "Mega-Niches" that make money consistently – and will for years into the future
• How to name your product so that it literally "sells itself" – and hits the "hot button" of your customer with just the name alone
• How to create an opt-in page that converts visitors to subscribers at VERY high rates
• How to organize your ideas into a book or other product QUICKLY (this formula you're going to learn will make your information far more understandable to your customers – and more VALUABLE as well)
• How to write email newsletters and do email marketing… and get 50% or MORE of your newsletters written for free

…and much, much more.

You're going to be listening in on a live conversation with someone that runs a $25 Million per year "Guru" business – who successfully sells Information Products in several different niches (with some products selling for as much as $10,000).

This teleclass is STRICTLY limited – and will be on a "first come, first serve" basis.

If you want to sign up, just go here and register NOW

If you're ready to learn how to launch and grow your online "Guru" business, then join me for this live interview.

Register now, and I'll talk to you on the teleclass!

Until next time,
Keep Stomping!

Here’s the Step-By-Step Sales Conversion Process that I promised.   I decide to make a video so I could really drill down into exactly how I nearly TRIPLE conversions (Screen Shots Included).   It’s very visual, and each step is shown — along with real world examples and statistics.  It’s on the Blog – No Opt-In Required. Totally Free (AKA “In Da Klerwb”).  There’s also a BONUS Video that you can get (also no Opt-In) where I spill my guts.  The Topic is “How to turn a $1.00 transaction immediately into $48.00”.  Here’s what people are saying about JUST the Bonus Video…

A Loss Leader is one of the more powerful brand building strategies that any business can employ.

And statistics, for what they're worth, usually bear out that you'll always earn more money per customer AND create a larger customer base if you're prepared to sell a product for no profit, or even a LOSS in order to create a relationship with a customer.

But it's Risky.

It's Risky for a few reasons:

1 – To sell at no profit or a loss means that you're sometimes selling low-value stuff.

Right? You've seen the Big Box Retailers offer crazy deals on low-end electronics in order to get people in the door. The problem is, the offer is usually "LOW END". And the customer experience that follows doesn't, shall we say, build the most loyalty.

2 – Also, it means that you MUST have a system to follow up with those new customers – meaning, you need to be ready to walk them up the "Ladder of Intimacy" to create future sales.

"Ladder of Intimacy?" Picture one of those A-Frame Ladders. You're on one side and your customer is on the other.

At first, you're far apart and low on the ladder – meaning, you've offered SOME value, and you've only asked for a LITTLE bit of a financial commitment for it.

The trick is getting them to climb that ladder. Each rung is a more expensive offer, but it also brings YOU closer to that customer because you're providing MORE value as you climb together.

Sexy, eh?

The problem there is, the first thing you're offering (because you need to keep it inexpensive for cash-flow reasons) is also probably of lower value to the customer.

There's the rub.

What if you could invert the ladder? What if you could deliver AMAZING value for a low price, and begin your relationship with your customer in a place where they are already confident that doing business with you will result in great things for them?

So, if you've ever asked why StomperNet makes free videos to promote its new products, the answer comes from customer comments like this:

"If this is what you are GIVING away, I can't imagine how good the stuff is that I get when I buy".

WIN. Profound WIN.

And it works, every time.

This Video is a text book example of how to structure an Inverted Ladder.

In one of my last newsletters, I de-constructed and reverse engineered Frank Kern's Mass Control Video – it was very well received for one very important reason:

"SHOWING" details, not "Telling" Details.

It's one thing to TELL YOU how to do something, it's another thing to SHOW YOU what it looks like, then talk about it why it works after.

This is the definition of Kinesthetic Learning. See it, Understand it, Do it. And it's why Medical Schools employ that kind of education – because it's CRITICAL when you're saving lives.

So, check out the video, and come back here to StomperBlog.com and tell me what kind of VALUE Propositions most appealed to you.

Thanks!

Andy Jenkins

P.S. Here's the Video Link again.

P.P.S. Next week, it's all about SEO here at StomperNet….

Advanced SEO, that is.

Stay tuned for a Video from SEO Expert Leslie Rohde. He's gonna tell you why LSI is lame.

Yes. Lame.

(I love causing trouble).

As you may know, we're LIVE in Atlanta with StomperNet's 7th Face-to-Face event, and we wanted to update you folks who couldn't be with us with a few photographs we've snapped here at the event so far!

The real benefit of our LIVE events is what you see right here.  Getting to sit down with us and talk about YOUR business and interact with the Faculty, Staff, AND your fellow Stompers.  None of us is as smart as all of us, and that's never more clear than when we get together.

We kicked off the event with a FULL Friday of FormulaFIVE business growth.  The day was dominated by super-consultant Paul Lemberg, creator of F5.  In addition to going deep into the time management power of FormulaFIVE's "Turbo Thruster" we also got to see Paul's secrets for nearly INSTANT and INFINITE product creation.  If you have more products to sell, you make more money.  Makes sense, right?

Andy Edmonds sometimes talks over people's heads, but that's just because he's so dang smart!  In additon to sharing his formidable SEO and usability skills with Stompers, he's also been showing off his new iPhone app "iBlipper" – (available soon!)

Here's another example of how a Stomper event breaks down the "wall" you might see at some other events – here's Dan Thies, right off the LIVE stage, interacting directly with members.  You can come to our events and ask us ANYTHING about your business.  And if you're not comfortable asking in a crowded hotel lobby, you should check out the Confidential Roundtable discussions.  I'd tell you what was discussed (but you might never see me again!)

Here, Don Crowther brings his social marketing expertise to the table and lays it out for our FormulaFIVE Day attendees – and not only did he deliver BRAND NEW content for our members, but he hung around afterwards to make sure everyone had every question answered.  It's not just about listening – everyone is here to LEARN and we make sure that happens.

Towards the end of a long and information-packed day, we like to unwind and network, and that's exactly what we do.  Here, you can see members and staff after hours.  Is Andy threatening this guy for wearing the same shirt to the party?  Probably not.  After such a long day, we'll let the fashion faux-pas slide.

Okay… maybe not!  Just when we thought we were done discussing fashion, this guy walks in.  No, not Faculty Sherman Hu.  The other guy – with the hat!  As a special bonus for demonstrating his understanding of "attention marketing", Andy gave this guy an hour of free consulting with the Stomper Faculty member of his choice.  It PAYS to come to LIVE events, in many more ways than the obvious one.

And that was our Friday.  Saturday would prove to be even MORE busy and literally busting at the seams for some sessions.  In fact, it was SO hectic, that I'm only just now getting to tell you about Friday, but we promise, check this space again very soon for another update from the floor of LIVE 7, including details and tidbits from our presenters, and of course, more photos!

If you want more up-to-the-minute updates, lots of buzz (and tweeting) over on Twitter!   (Speaking of Twitter, the next post will have some good stuff from Perry Belcher's presentation, so don't miss it!)

Also, don't forget to leave us a comment if you like the pictures.

Talk again very soon!

Mass Control 2.0 SOLD OUT?!?!?!

By the time Mass Control 2.0 opens on Monday, February 16th at 1pm Eastern (10am Pacific), there's a chance it could be 90% sold-out!

Here's why: Frank has this slightly annoying habit of releasing his products early to his newsletter subscribers vs. the general public.  He creates these early notification lists and people sign up in hordes to be the first in line.

And he rewards that behavior by letting them in early! It's one reason why his stuff sells out so durn fast.

So, I'm getting you out in front of this by doing 2 things:

• Showing you where to get on his early notification list, and

It's only available to my customers and a hand-full of others.

Beta Tester Status for Don Crowther's
NEW SMARTS 2.0 Social Media Traffic Strategies

WHAT: I've taken Frank Kern hostage and will force him to show me how he does it.

WHY: Because he's mastered all of the things on my above wish list.

HOW: I'm bigger than he is.

WHERE: On the phone.  You can listen in.  For free.

**NO PITCHING** I want to learn how to "Get Money" from Frank, not be sold to.

Fair Warning: Frank is a friend.

I 'get' his character. I am personally amused by his antics.

You may not be.

After you get the phone number for the hostage call, you should probably sample a small dose of "The Frank" to make sure you're going to be okay with his brand of education.
