Why?

Good question. You see copywriting is about giving your customers the right information and enough information to make a quality decision to invest in your product or service. Everything you do while building your online business requires content. 

Pictures, graphics, colors are pretty but they don’t get the job done. It takes words, the right words, in the right place, at the right time. 

Most everything you need to build your online business can be bought, individually or in a system. You can get blog and website templates. It’s easy to find autoresponder templates, you can build a Squidoo lens, Hubpage, Blogger blog all at no money investment on your part. But do you know what all those neeed? That’s right, content. Content in the form of copywriting. 

You can also outsource many tasks you need done, but quality copywriters don’t come cheap. I have study several and also learned from marketers who have acquired the skill. All have said, if you can write good content you can always earn money. Sound good? 

You might think that copywriters need a university degree. That is a myth. Many of the best copywriters barely finished high school and a few earned degrees. You would be surprised if you heard their stories. You would be inspired to take action and realize you too can do this wonderful thing called copywriting.

How would you like to listen and watch two copywriting legends share their stories, experience, skills and talent? Words that when written fetch a very high price. You can for a limited time do just that, and get a couple of nice valuable bribes to boot. This is all possible thanks to an Internet Marketing legend in his own right, Mark Joyner. 

As you want to be the best you can be. Take a few moments now to take a few strides towards that goal. All you need to do is listen to a story and get your bribes here.

When Survivor first came on the scene my thoughts, being a former soldier,  were it is about using basic skills necessary to survive in the wilds. I envisioned something along the lines of Man vs Wild, except competing against other players instead of just Mother Nature.

It took some time to finally realize that it was a game of social survival more than hunting, gathering, fire-building and shelter building skills. It turns out the sole survivor, who gains the ultimate prize, is someone who skillfully uses influence, persuasion, hypnosis and salesmanship. Sounds like business success to me as well.

To prepare for the experience you might want to read Cialdini, Hogan, Lakhani and Carnegie. Memorizing an SAS Survival Handbook might be handy but seems to have on effect on the final outcome.  Outwit, outlast, outplay it’s all a mental game. 

As you decide to join Survivor Building Online Business, keep in mind that everyone can be a winner. When your tribe has spoken then you will know the results.

You step out into a strange land. Nothing is recognizable. The terrain, vegetation and wildlife are totally new experiences.

All you have to quickly judge the strangers surrounding you are first impressions. Chose your team wisely, it can mean the difference between success and failure.

Your tribe is given an identity in an effort to form an instant cohesiveness. Is it possible for nine people from diverse economic, social, ethnic and geographical backgrounds work together as a single unit?

Are you ready for the challenge? In the distance you see a hill, the challenge is to get all tribe members to the top.  Want to know what you are playing for? (more on that later) The first tribe to get everyone on the peak will get food and fire. Also the first player of each team can claim an individual immunity idol.

One group helped each other out and was first. They went home with the food and fire. The other goup acted individually and paid for it with failure. They went home cold, hungry and thirsty. 

Things were good in the victorious camp. There was socializing and celebrating as they enjoyed a hot meal. Meanwhile, in the losers camp, there was bickering, finger pointing, labeling of faults with other members. All the while denying responsibility as a group. Disharmony reigned supreme.

Tree mail arrives, another day another challenge. Who will win the prize today? 

Six team members connected by rope must naviagate an obtacle course to a sand pit where three bags containing puzzle pieces are buried. The teams must collect the bags, deliver them back to the remaining team members who will assemble the puzzle. First team to complete the puzzle wins immunity and reward. Want to know what you are playing for? (more on that later)

It is said there is no “I” in team. But there is a “me” in team. A team is a system and each individual must contribute their part to perform well. An single member can’t do it all, ask Michael Jordan. Team members resisting the system will result in failure.

Things looked fairly even until they reached the pit. The individualist team had members taking breaks during the urgency of the challenge. Obvious reason they didn’t succeed. The other team won again and once again it was through cooperative teamwork. Seems like a good lesson.

Once again the cooperative team won immunity and also fishing gear. The losing team when back to camp still cold, hungry and thirsty.  They did manage to chose a leader but would you respect a leader who took off alone in a quest for individual immunity and then took a break in the middle of a challenge. He didn’t seem to lose any energy running up the hill to grab the idol.

Reward for the losing team, tribal council. Who would they send home? Would it be a weak member who couldn’t contribute much or would it be an strong member who is unsociable?

In the end, it was decided that the non-social member was unwanted. The tribe has spoken.

What lessons were learned this time?

• Pick a good team to work with in your business
• Make sure you build a relationship within your tribe
• Chose a team that is committed to being all they can be but also contributes to the overall success of the team
• Keep your attention focused on your goal

What were you playing for?

• If you feel you won individual immunity pick up reward here.
• If you feel you won group immunity/reward get it here

This same effect happens with people as well. Elton John is a singer and performer. He might have had just an average and short lived singing career, except he met up with Bernie Taupin. Bernie wrote great songs and Elton delivered those songs beautifully to the hearts and minds of the public. Many of the songs became classics and are still popular today, 30 years later.

What does this have to do with online business building?

Brad Fallon is an entrepeneur and the creative type. He had some businesses but had many more ideas that just stayed in his head or written down in a soon forgotten notebook. He became somewhat of an expert in SEO but wanted more. He decided he wanted to get involved in e-commerce. 

Enter Andy Jenkins. Andy was enjoying a career in the film industry but he also built a successful online store selling products that were also a hobby of his. Due to his success he published an e-book which was a guide on how to build your own successful online store.  Andy is a doer, and implementer.

Brad found Andy’s book after researching on the net. Brad contacted Andy and they became friends.  This is amazing because on the surface they seem as different as night and day.  But just like the Medici Effect and Elton & Bernie that difference is our benefit.

Brad had ideas and Andy knew how to put them into action. Their first venture, Stomping The Search Engines, was a tremendous success.  This product taught us how to naturally optimze websites in order to achieve the best results on search engine results pages.  Stomping the search engines was a hit and remained at the top until they removed it a bit over 2 years ago.

The chemistry evolved to legendary undertaking. Stompernet is born. Thousands of people were excited by all the videos leading up to the opening of Stompernet. Records were broken. The curricullum is unbelievable. But many were stopped from joining though because the monthly tuition is almost $800. Many people building online businesses just didn’t have that to invest each month.

Stompernet’s reputation grew behind closed doors. Disappointed people were working diligently to build their profits to a point where they could join when Stompernet opened for new members. Meanwhile the chemistry of Brad and Andy, along with the reputation of Stompernet, attracted the biggest and brighest stars of the Internet Marketing community to become faculty members as experts in their area. 

People who join Stompernet tend to stay, which makes it hard for those on the waiting list. It is like a candidate waiting to get accepted to Harvard. Brad, Andy and their faculty began to realize this and put their heads together in a mastermind to come up with a solution. What it boils down to is creating a junior college or minor league team. Education will be made available to those who want to keep moving ahead. 

The plan they came up with is brilliant. They would offer some education to people who couldn’t get in to Stompernet or couldn’t yet afford it. One part is a professional Internet Marketing monthly journal written by Stompernet faculty member, The Net Effect. The Net Effect covers topics of interest to Internet Marketers which are of valuable to Newbies as well as seasoned veterans. These topics include email campaigns, social media, video and article marketing, to name a few.

Another course for you is Stomping The Search Engines 2. A course created for their Stompernet members, it was decided to also make it available to the public. This is not just an update of the original Stomping The Search Engines, it is new and improved. This time it’s not just the team of Brad and Andy, the expert faculty has contributed too. Included is the original Stomping The Search Engines.

Brad and Andy finding each other has benefited them greatly. Now it is benefiting you, maybe more so.  You can get started using these valuable resources to build your online business very soon if you are willing to invest some time and effort to watch a video, read some and take care of shipping and handling. A small price to pay. 

If you haven’t found your partner with whom you can create the Medici Effect and have your own dream team, why not adopt for now. You can adopt Brad, Andy and the Stompernet Gang and maximize your Internet Marketing profits. Meet your dream team now
