I’m finally back emailing you from Cyprus.

I haven’t emailed you for ages… as most of you
know I went to USA to attend the Mass Control
Seminar.

In this blog post I’ll tell you:

- How the seminar went and my biggest tip from it
- Show you pictures from my trip to USA
- What’s in store for the future
===================================================
HOW THE SEMINAR WENT AND MY BIGGEST TIP FROM IT
——————————————–

The seminar was great with awesome speakers…
Frank Kern, Eben Pagan, Jeff Walker, Jason Moffatt,
Bob Serling, John Carlton as well some guest-speakers
like Ed Dale, Mike Filsaime and more.

I enjoyed the seminar’s content a lot and got the
chance to network with some very cool marketers.

Here’s the biggest tip I got out of the seminar:

         You need to focus and be good at
             1 single specific thing!

Yes, I hear you… “duh, focus - that’s common sense”.

Here’s my definition of *focus* in this context:

Become an expert in one thing e.g SEO, Adwords etc
and have everything else you are doing revolve
around that.

In other words, it doesn’t mean you have to quit
being an affiliate marketer if you decide to master
Adwords - you can incorporate affiliate marketing
and list building into your Adwords promotions.

It does mean you shouldn’t be buying and trying
everything under the sun which is totally unrelated
to Adwords. e.g Craigslist, Bum Marketing etc

WHAT’S IN STORE FOR THE FUTURE
—————————————

It seems I have fallen off the face of the earth for
the past month.

As much as I would like to tell you that I’m this
big guru, who never makes mistakes and never screws
up… that would be a total lie.

I’m not a guru and I screw up all the time.

I do make a living online and have figured out some
things on the way - which I’ll be sharing more of
in the future.

But my main point is that I’m a regular person like
you who is screwing up and fails more often than I
care to admit

As long as we learn from our mistakes and bounce
back by not repeating them and keep doing what works
then it’s all good in my book.

Now that we’ve established that I’m a total idiot
at times - here are 3 things I will be focusing
in the future (and I suggest you do too):

1. Find a market that is already buying stuff
and sell them what they are already buying
(idea stolen from Frank Kern and tested thoroughly)

2. Build lists in markets where they are already
buying stuff and sell them more related stuff
(idea stolen from Allen Says and tested thoroughly)

3. Drink a lot of beer and eat like there’s no
tomorrow

One of the above 3 things is optional - you
choose which one.

I like to do stuff the easy way so for #1 (find
a market that is already buying stuff…) I just
browse Clickbank’s categories and find markets
which have lots of products in the top selling
positions (i.e high gravity and high referred %)

For #2 there are tons of stuff you can do to
build huge email lists and follow up with them
to sell them stuff - while giving them good value.

This is what I will be focusing in the future:

1. Give you freebies that show you how to build
your lists

2. Give you freebies that you can give away to
build your lists

3. Show you what to say in your emails so that
you can make more sales from your lists

If you do not have a list and are weirded out
at the thought of having one, just know this:

- What’s the worst that can happen?

You totally screw up and people make fun of
you (it happens to me all the time)

Some people buy. Some make fun of you.

You get better.  More people buy from you.

Some people still make fun of you.

The more money you make the more you laugh
at the people making fun of you (this is
a scientific formula)

Following up and doing a really bad job at it
is way better than not following up at all.

Anyway, I think you’ve had enough of me for
today so I’ll end this right here.

Have a great day!

Talk soon,

Stelios

P.S I promised you a picture kissing the Vegas
ground like the Pope does. Here it is

Hey guys… it’s good to be back to USA.

After a very long (24 hours in flights and
airport time) trip I arrived yesterday.

My friend Socrates Socratous (who is
a great marketer as most of you know)
picked me up from the airport and I’m
staying at his house until the seminar day.

I was exchausted and fell asleep at 9 pm
last night so I didn’t shut off the 48 hour
deal until this morning at 8 am when I woke up.

I have answered all support questions and I’ll be
getting to the rest of the emails later on.

Thanks all for being patient!

I’ll try to post some pictures soon.

Take care,

Stelios

Stelios here, and I’m very excited to share
with you that I’m coming to USA tonight.

I don’t talk about myself very often so you
might not know that although I have studied
in California, I live permanently in my
home country Cyprus, Europe.

It’s been 3 years since I left USA and I have
missed it so much…

I’m coming to the Mass Control seminar which
is taking place in San Diego, CA on April 19-20.

(If you are there too make sure you come and
say hi to me!)

I’ve been wanting to come back for holidays ever
since I left. I figured since the seminar is taking
place in California it’s a great opportunity to
come and visit my old friends… as well as
hit my beloved Las Vegas

I can’t wait to come back.

I think when I arrive at Vegas I’m gonna kneel
and kiss the ground like the pope does wherever
he visits.

Anyway, the reason for the blog post is three-fold:

1. To tell you how excited I am to come back to
USA after 3 years - and that you should be grateful
to be living in such a cool country.

(I know I’m grateful to it for everything I
learned there while I was studying there)

2. To tell you that if you are emailing me for
a product purchase support questions or anything else … it might take
1-2 days to get back to you while I’m travelling,
until I get an internet connection.

3. I will try to post pictures on my blog
http://www.steliosblog.com so make sure to check
it out and post your comments.

Take care and talk to you later.

Regards,

Stelios
