“The M6 Method Guys are Retarded”

Screen shot 2011 05 15 at 9.48.21 PM The M6 Method Guys are Retarded

I finally had a minute to sit down and read the latest e-mail i received from the m6 method guys and what they are producing. i mean this in the nicest way, these guys are retarded.

i can’t believe the quality of the information they release, or how they are able to hit the nail on the head so well with their information. i read it, and seriously said, “wow, these guys are retarded”…while that is probably the most uneducated, improper, un-intelligent usage of the term…i never the less said it, out-loud, to which my fiance then asked “what?” and i then looked literally retarded as i explained.

i’ve been working on a post to explain all about their main product (m6 method), and actually go out and chill with these guys as they live near my home town, a few miles outside philadelphia. they are the real deal. while i still plan to do that, after reading this latest e-mail, i had to get something out there.

i’m not going to screw with you, below is almost a verbatim suggested e-mail swipe letter they sent out. it’s so good, i really have no reason to touch it. (take some notes, it’s well written)

their latest offering is over the should style video’s that show you how to create a digital product the RIGHT way. the first one focuses on taking expertise and turning it into product.

i know personally this is a lot of you, and it’s also myself right now. we all look inward at first when developing our first few products, what are we good at?, what can we explain and package up?, these videos breakdown how to take that and package it up well enough to sell it.

no more words from me, check it out.

How to transform your expertise into a profitable product

Body:

Hey,

I’m going to share a link with today because frankly, you’re about
to see something I’d have killed for when I started online. (no joke)

My friends David & Derek over at M6 Method have started filming
over-the-shoulder style videos on creating online ‘information
products’. They call it ‘M6 Sessions’. (I can actually say this literally as I’ve hung out with David on more than one occasion, one time at aWeber’s headquarters for chris guillebeau’s book tour)

See Here for the Sessions.

In M6 Sessions David & Derek explain, all the things you should
be doing to create a product – the right way.

It’s like “reality TV” for product creation – except this will make
you smarter, not dumber, for watching it.

Learning “over the shoulder” style is one of the fastest, smartest
ways to replicate what works, and grasp ‘why’.

They’re giving you a way to watch and model their process (the m6 method, which i’ve mentioned a bunch and use myself), using real-world examples from inside their publishing company.

  • The first session is titled: “Transforming Expertise Into Products”.
  • This is going to help any of you who have specialized knowledge, dying to create your own information product around it.
  • For those without valuable expertise, you’ll learn how you can work/partner with  an expert to create a product.

You can “publish” an expert. If you’re the expert, you’re just
“publishing yourself”. It’s the same process.

Registration is open for just a few days so go enroll for the first
one if you want to check it out:

See Here for the Sessions.

If nothing else, use the above as a good template for how to write a solid marketing e-mail.

The Snorkl Report, Trying is the First Step to Succeeding

snorkltv The Snorkl Report, Trying is the First Step to Succeeding

starting a blog can do wonderful things IF you make an effort. this project has sparked more inspiration, challenge, business and progress then i ever thought it would.

let that be a note to those on the edge to go ahead and give it a try.

along the way i’ve received notes of inspiration on how this blog has really helped people on their own journey (yes this one, i’m just as surprised). i’ve linked up with people i’d call my friends, and built some great symbiotic relationships as well as continue to charge on with my goals for life fulfillment.

you really need to start paying attention to this “internet economy”.

one of those relationships is that of Snorkle.tv and Carl Schooff who i’d like to introduce you to today. he gave an element of this crazy life design, entrepreneur, start building your own content “thing” a try and has had awesome results. i’m proud to share how he’s made his progress.

Virtual Insanity No More: How to Get the Most out of a Virtual Assistant!

2595755975 a8c41f6699 Virtual Insanity No More: How to Get the Most out of a Virtual Assistant!

Editor’s Note: The following is a guest post by Chris of Virtual Business Lifestyle. Follow him on Twitter @chriscducker. Next week, freedom business growth.

Nowadays we hear the term ‘Virtual Assistant’ more than ever before. It seems like everyone and his dog has hired a VA and is busy traveling the world, whilst their trusty VA stays ‘home’ and does all the work. Particularly lifestyle design advocates!

However, the bottom line is that in the ‘real world’, business owners and entrepreneurs are way too busy building their empires to take that much time ‘off work’. And very rightly so, too. You don’t get anywhere in life without working hard – we ALL know that. Continue reading →

Idea Feasibility: Results, Realities and Expert Opinions

Seattle Municiple Archives

If you’ve just found us here at The Life Design Project we’re in the midst of determining the profitability of an idea or service that we’ve derived from a niche interest, before we actually create anything.

Testing if an idea or product (or even an affiliate’s) is likely to sell isn’t as cut and dry as I or I’m sure you would like it to be. In the end, after the several rounds of sales page adjustments, copy-write education, Adwords testing and requested reviews, I’m left only slightly more informed on deciding whether or not to create my product. Geez, that sucks.

Wait, there’s hope! I turned to experienced and outspoken experts and asked them point blank, “What are the three best ways to test feasibility”. (I wanted to find out if I had just wasted time building a mock sales page and learning everything that goes into it.) The answers I received we’re nothing short of gold. Check out the progression of a sales page, real Adwords results, and what the experts had to say below. Note: I qualify these “experts” by knowing and seeing their products and ideas propel their freedom and income. There are hundred of thousands of others claiming to have created income on the web, I actually know these people have.

Time Management is the Key to Lifestyle Design | G_RO

This is a guest post written by Greg Rollett from Rock Star Lifestyle Design. I reached out to Greg months ago while first looking at what it was to design your lifestyle. He’s been an awesome resource, down to earth and excited. He gives us some great tips on how to stay on track with our goals here, perfect reminders for wherever you are in designing your life.

Essentially lifestyle design boils down to how effectively you use your time, and the emotions you get from spending that time.
