I’ve refined the stuff that worked great, removed the stuff that didn’t, added loads of new stuff and have totally rejuvenated the idea of Lead Gen Mentoring.
——————————————————————————————————————————

Here’s a few highlights:

SEO

With Google’s recent panda/penguin curveballs and having receiving a couple of penalties myself  (2 out of hundreds isn’t bad!) I have the link removal & reconsideration request process (if needed) fully mapped out – having worked hands on with the Google web spam team plus a very switched-on team who have been specialising in penalty removal for the last 2 years.

Facebook

I’m currently working closely with Jen Sheahan (the famous Facebook guru who runs campaigns for the likes of Tony Robbins, Ryan Deiss, & Frank Kern) so the results of these latest lead gen campaigns are going into the mix.

Finding Hungry Lead Buyers

Generating high quality premium leads is what I do best but I’m yet to find a better process for finding hungry lead buyers and getting them into the funnel to buy your leads than this new refined one.

Outsourcing & building an offshore team
Building offshore teams that work seamlessly in the background whilst you get on with the fun stuff, isn’t as easy as it looks when you first read the 4-hour work week but it is definitely achievable with the right knowledge & processes and when it happens it gives you a lot of freedom (Big thanks to James Schramko who helped me refine this process).

——————————————————————————————————————————

These are just some of the elements I’ve been refining and doesn’t even include the existing processes that didn’t need refining or the exciting new world of mobile marketing in lead generation.

With this in mind there is an opportunity for you to join a small group of applicants to get on board with my next lead generation mentoring program.

Why is this for me

- Although lead gen is highly lucrative it can be a complete minefield as it involves lots of different traffic and conversion strategies and if you get it wrong it can be costly & disastrous.

- Over the last 10 years I’ve spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on courses, books, seminars and gurus. I’ve travelled the world and met some of the best thought leaders in lead gen but also been unfortunate enough to give my well earned money in return for some pretty naff information.

- I’ve subsequently built multi-million dollar lead gen businesses and I’ve also had a couple of spectacular burnouts along the way so I know how volatile it can be.

- I’ve ran over 250 lead campaigns in hyper competitive industries and racked up a total of well over 30,000 man hours testing and trialling so I’ve definitely been through the mill to find out what works and what doesn’t.

What’s involved?

If you are interested in using my knowledge & experience to help you then here’s what’s involved in the mentoring program, what you get and how you can get involved:

1-1 Meeting - The first element of the mentoring program is your 30 minute meeting with me up to once a week during the 6 month program. We use an automated booking system so you can book your meetings with me, quickly and easily without having to exchange lots of emails. We will also be using Dropbox, Gotomeeting & some other cools stuff for communication & sharing data.

Helpdesk – This helpdesk is manned by me and only me. If you have a problem in between meetings or just need help with some of the software we are using then this is the best place to get it sorted fast. My helpdesk has priority over my inbox.

Private webinars – You will have full access to all of my private webinars and I will also ensure you get free access to any seminars I am speaking at.

Contacts and Team – You will get direct access to my contacts and team should you need any extra help on the technical side or if you just need an intro to someone you feel could help your business.

I’m interested how do I apply?

The first thing you need to know is the price that is $7500 US Dollars for the full 6 months (It used to be $20k for 12 months but I found my students were seeing great results in 6 months so I reduced the program and massively reduced the price).

If you are interested the next step is very simple

Just email me here

Subject title: “Mentoring Application”

Message body: “I’m based in [Enter country you are based] and I’d like to apply”

When I receive your application I’ll send you details of where you can send the $7500

This $7500 will be treated as a deposit. It’s only after we have had a one-on-one interview will I be able to confirm your acceptance on the program.

Why? Because after speaking you/me/we may decide the program is not for you.

Last year I had to turn down a lot of people which wasn’t great fun but was very necessary.

There is only one of me so this isn’t a marketing scarcity tactic.

This is one of the best chances you will have to get a jump-start in Lead Generation so the demand for entrance is very high and that’s why there is no flashy sales page – just a simple blog post.

Helping students achieve success over the last year has been one of the best things I’ve ever done and I’m looking forward to doing it again this year.

I’d really love to work with you for the rest of this year and beyond and get you on the path to becoming a lead gen expert.

I’d love you to join the intimate group of Lead Gen Mentoring 2.0

The next step is easy

I’ve always been good with domain & website buying but about a year ago I was lucky enough to get involved with Justin Gilchrist who helped me tweak some of my strategies to devastating effect.

You may know Justin through Flippa.com’s A-List or  Flipfilter and if so you will already know that this is a man who spends a whole lot of time in this market.

Justin eats, sleeps and breaths web business sales and has possibly the biggest independent databank of website sales in the world, so comes in pretty handy on the information front.

He shares some of his secrets on how to find profitable websites cheap and then increase the profits of the websites and build a portfolio or just flip for maximum profits. We cover the Internet Tycoon project we are working on together and also cover how to avoid getting ripped off!

Enjoy and remember to bombard Justin with questions in the comments section below.

Please share this interview on Twitter, Facebook, Google + or plain old email

How many emails have you had this week promising you millions of $$$ from a new Web Marketing or Social Media strategy?

If you’re anything like me I bet it’s well over 200!

Some of them will be useful but most of them will be a complete waste of your fastest depreciating asset – YOUR TIME!

But if you have an internet business you either depend on these strategies (and have to take the rough with the smooth) or you feel like you are missing the boat.

The internet is like a house built on moving sand and that’s why, apart from my long term lead generation business, the safest business I have is my brokering business.

I’ve just interviewed Thomas Smale (the guy in the photo who looks like someone just shoved a hot poker where the sun don’t shine!) – A UK based internet broker who explains why brokering websites is a no brainer for him and how he has just hit his first $1 million:

If you have any kind of SEO blood in your veins then you will have heard of Market Samurai, the king of Market/Keyword Research tools.

Market Samurai was conceived at Dan Raine & Ed Dale‘s Over the Edge gathering in Australia some years back and I was lucky enough to attend – It was a marketer and hacker paradise, where some of the worlds most innovative brains plotted and planned!

The main brains and CEO of the company is Eugene Ware and I managed to get a rare interview with him.

The interview has been lost and found (another story all together!) and now I’m going to share it with you because there are some great lessons to be learned.

Eugene didn’t just become the CEO of one of the worlds most renowned SEO tools overnight. He had failures just like everyone else, he is one of the most talented coders on the planet but he is also a very shrewd business man and that shrewdness comes from lots of experience in the jungle we call Internet Marketing.

Ed and Kenny

Have you ever lost something really important and then found it again months later?

This just happened to me and it feels really good.

Last November I spoke at Ed Dale’s London conference and instead of getting drunk with Pete Williams and Andrew Nez after my presentation like I normally do, I managed to secure some killer interviews and the one you are about to listen to is one of them.

Ed Dale who is one of the world’s most famous Internet Marketers completely spills the beans in this interview and for the last 3 months I’ve been crying myself to sleep every night because I thought it was lost forever.

Shortly after the conference – my labs in Manchester got broken into and all my equipment stolen which included the ‘never to be repeated’ golden interviews and I hadn’t backed them up, but it turns out that good old Dom over in Spain had a backup all the time. Doh!

This interview is pure gold – Ed discusses stuff he’s never covered before like how he had massive debts at 19, hit rock bottom and almost went bankrupt and even how he saved for 2 years just to buy his first VIC-20. If you don’t know what that is (like me) then it doesn’t affect you – it’s just really geeky stuff!

He talks about how he dropped out of University, how he sold one of his first businesses for $3 million and how Market Samurai’s Eugene Ware just missed out!

The interview includes his underachiever days and how he met his old business partner Frank Kern and how he was mentored by internet marketing giant Gary Halbert.

He even covers how he created a massive network of sites and then sold that for millions as well.

If you’ve ever felt low and thought that you couldn’t succeed then this interview covers it all:

Feel free to comment and I’ll try my best to get Ed to respond…

Enjoy!

Kenny

p.s. Dom also backed up the lost interview I did with the CEO of Market Samurai Eugene Ware – this will be with you very soon and yes he also covers how he missed out in the $3 million sell-out that Ed got!

Guru Bob - Robert Somerville

After years of knowing GuruBob, I finally manged to get an interview with him and find out how he got into Internet Marketing and become the back bone of The Challenge alongside Ed Dale.

Do you feel there is too much noise on the internet?

Too many products hitting you every day?

How did it get to be so bloody noisy out there?

I have some answers and I’ve just received some very valuable advice on this
subject (and more) from a smart guy called Bob and I want to share it with you.

I’m sure you have been touched by Bob at some point (not in that way!) whether
you know it or not, so I wanted to give you a brief background on his career so
you can see where he’s coming from…

Bob’s background is scientifically based so he naturally loves finding out how
things work and he is particularly obsessed with numbers and NLP! Strange mix
- I know, but bear with me…

Back in the 90′s he travelled the four corners of the globe working for a major
oil giant and although he enjoyed the travel and lifestyle of the job he felt the
need to move on and stretch his horizons. Coincidentally, oil was down to less
than $10 a barrel and the whole oil industry was on it’s knees but I’m sure this
had nothing to do with his sudden need to move on :-)
Anyhow through various inquiries he found himself in the unknown Wealth
Creation Industry which was about to boom – big time!

Because of his strong analytical and business process skills, Bob quickly found
himself working with some of the World’s leading experts in Wealth Creation and
was soon developing both Business and Real Estate seminars with 3000
attendees at $15,000 a ticket! No small change there!

Anyhow Bob then met a very inspirational Internet Marketer called Ed who had
just sold his Network of websites for millions and was on a mission to give
something back to the Internet! Ed, who is a natural marketeer needed someone
strong to run the business side of things so he could flow as the front man and
he asked Bob to fill this gap and look after the back end of the business (You
know I could have worded this differently to get a cheap giggle out of you don’t
you? ;-)

Over the next 5 years they traversed the length and breadth of the Internet
together swerving Google slaps & researching and testing every traffic and
conversion technique known to man whilst sharing this information with the
world through the most well respected free coaching course on the internet:
The Challenge

Throughout this time Bob (Robert Somerville) gained the nickname of GuruBob
& learned some very valuable SEO, PPC, Social Media, Business lessons & of
course how to list an internet marketing company on a New York stock
exchange. So I thought a rare interview with him might just be an enlightening
experience. I wasn’t wrong and I managed to get hold of him ahead of the
challenge conference in Melbourne this weekend

He talks about:

• How the Internet is a numbers game and how you can use those numbers to
• your advantage
• Surviving Google slaps!
• The battle between the Faceless Algorithm of Google and the Human Opinion
• Model of Facebook and how this affects you
• His hand in the creation of Market Samurai – the world’s number one Market
• Research Tool
• How to become an SEO expert
• How PPC is fast becoming the world of big business
• What it’s like to work with the world famous Ed Dale
• How you must remove of the Noise if you are to survive on the Internet!

See whether you can spot GuruBob asking me to blow his trumpet :-)

Majestic SEO

If you care about your Search Engine Optimization and back link campaigns, then you have probably been worrying your socks off for the last 12 months at the dwindling amount of data coming back from the once reliable Yahoo Site Explorer.

I mean how the hell can you measure your link building campaigns if there’s no data to go off?

Well, there’s one UK based company that has come to save the day for SEO’s worldwide, and I managed to get an interview with their very busy Marketing Director, Dixon Jones.

In the interview, Dixon (who’s a hard-core SEO veteran) goes into deep detail about what has happened to the Yahoo data, how useful the Googe data is, and exactly how Majestic SEO can help you with your link building campaigns.

He explains how Majestic SEO and it’s army of uber geeks have climbed the ladder to be the most reliable link-data channel on the planet.

*Start of shameless plug* If you’re lucky enough to be using Domainface Pro you will have noticed how it now integrates with the powerful data from Majestic SEO – and it actually shows the amount of referring domains, which gives a better indication of how good the back link base is.  *End of shameless plug* :-)

You can listen to the full interview with Dixon here:

If you are interested in learning more about how Majestic SEO can help you, they are holding a Webinar on Friday 28th January (3:00 GMT / 10:00 AM EST / 8:00 PST.)

It’s titled: “What you can get for free”, and is basically what it says on the tin: A webinar explaining how to use Majestic SEO (for free).

Domain Auctions

So you’re using Domain Face or another Domain Tool to find superb aged domain names. In fact these domain names are so good, you know they’ll help you dominate your niche or re-sell at massive profits.

All great, but you now have to go through the process of buying them and if they’re such good domains you don’t want anyone else to know they’re available. The problem is that by bidding on them too early you risk bringing unwanted attention to them, so it’s important to get your timing spot on.
You need to minimise outside attention to these domains if you want to keep them to yourself.

So in this post I’ll show you:

• What different types of aged domains you can bid or backorder and how to capitaise on this for maximum profits
• Why it’s important to bid/backorder at specific times
• How to bid on/backorder to secure profitable Dynamite Domains
• What happens if you bid or backorder badly

Before I show you how to do this I’m going to go through the 3 main ways to secure aged domains via Domain Face:

1. Back ordering non-exclusive deleting domains

First of all let me explain deleting domains and then I will explain the exclusive bit.
Basically you can backorder any domain name on the planet. Yes you heard it right – you could even back order Google.com if you wanted but the chances of Google letting that bad boy drop are about as good as winning the lottery 5 times in a row! So instead of just backordering any old domain, the best way to ensure success is to backorder domains that are approaching their pending delete stage. You see domain names have their own life cycle (if you want to see more about this download my free report here) and by knowing more about this life cycle you can see if a domain name is approaching it’s pending delete stage. If it is a few days away from pending delete, the chances of the registrant renewing the domain are extremely slim so if the domain name is in a non-exclusive capacity then any backordering service can try and catch this domain when it drops.
In this scenario, the free report explains how to increase your chances of winning the domain by employing the Triple Barrel Back Order Strategy, what backordering services to use and which ones to avoid, but I guess I never fully explained how to reduce the chances of someone else backordering it and causing a public auction, until today.

2. Back Ordering exclusive deleting domains

Now you fully understand what a non-exclusive domain is, then I’m sure you have already guessed what an exclusive one is.
Basically it’s a deleting domain but will only be available to backorder via a selected exclusive backordering service like Godaddy, Snapnames, or Namejet.

3. Privately for sale Auctions

These are domains that are held in auction on behalf of private sellers at auction houses such as Godaddy, Sedo, Flippa, Pool, snapnames etc.

Backordering Deleting

When back ordering domains you should always back order a couple of minutes before the ‘backorder by’ time.



Snapnames Auction

The reason for this is these backordering services usually feature domains with backorder bids, higher than those without. Domainers also tend to sort domains by amount of bidders allowing them to spot popular ones to bid on.

You should always backorder the minimum amount allowed by that backordering service.

Don’t bid above this as hopefully you will be the only person bidding, if you aren’t then you will be entered into an auction between all backorder bidders. If this is the case you should follow normal auction protocol (see below)

Auctions

Most domain auctions use a proxy bidding system similar to eBay’s

Even before the auction commences you should decide the maximum amount you are willing to bid, then make a note and stick with it.
You should, however, only place this proxy bid 5 minutes before the end of the auction. Again, when you increase your bid it brings unwanted attention to the domain and also creates an auction buzz which is designed to tap into peoples need/greed emotions which will attract more bidders and can sometimes turn into a bidding frenzy which blows the price out of all proportions. Plus as soon as you bid the auction house automatically warns all other bidders via email because their main aim is to create a bidding frenzy in order to increase the price of the domain.
The longer you leave it before you bid, the better the chance other bidders won’t see the email in time to increase their bid to beat yours.

Why 5 minutes before the end? Why not 5 seconds before the end?

Most of these auction houses extend the auction for an extra 5 minutes if you bid within the last 5 minutes, this again can give people further time to get involved in the bidding.

Now the most important bit I’m going to tell you is something I really struggle with but it saves unwanted pain later on:
Once you place your proxy bid – make it your final bid. How do you do that? You place your bid and then walk away from your computer or close down the web page and move onto something else.
Then once the dust has settled a couple of hours after the auction, check your email or revisit the site to see if you’ve been successful.
You see, if you stay you will buy into the frenzy, believe me it still happens to me and I still buy domains at prices I regret because I got emotionally caught up in the bidding.

If you don’t win then don’t worry, there are thousands of new domains coming onto the market every day, so there will be another domain that suits.

So there you have it. Some simple rules to increase your chances of winning the Dynamite Domains that can change your game and help you make bigger profits.

As always if you have any questions just leave a comment and I will be on call to answer.
