If you take a look at the scan on the right, Lucky Bastard! is tucked right in the middle of the non-fiction bestsellers list.

WOW! My book is #6 in the whole of freaking Singapore. I AM STOKED. I mean anyone would be when your book is being recognized as a national bestseller. And it’s my first one as well. I am really grateful.

It’s been 4 weeks since the book’s out and every Sunday, I’ve been checking to see if it made the list and this Sunday, well… it did!

I remember having a discussion last year with Adam Khoo about how to write a book and I mentioned that I only wanna do this if it becomes a bestseller (I want the ego trip! muahahha!) and AK took a look at my idea of a book and told me ‘Yes. Why not?’ and whadayya know, it’s come true.

I can now check off one of my goals. Fweuhhh… I honestly thought this one was going to be left hanging but I guess I was being a tad impatient thinking a book will go straight up the charts first week of its launch.

If you’re interested to get a copy of Lucky Bastard!, you can go to any good bookstore in Singapore (Borders/Kinokuniya/Times/etc) and you can find it there. If you purchase a copy, I really appreciate the support. I do. And if you’re not in Singapore, you can always opt for the cheaper (we save costs because we pardoned the trees) digital version we retail online over at www.VeryLuckyBastard.com.

Anyway, I am really happy with this latest bit of news (obviously) and ahhh.. I’m off to play the guitar now. tata

Anyway, these types of ads used to appear on those big corporate sites in the past and I always used to think they must have cost a bomb, arm, leg, to do (and they must have, back then).

But then now technology gets cheaper and better, and we now get to have things that only the rich people could afford in the past – aircons, color TVs, personal computers, obnoxious children, etc etc. Same with funky peel ads, us poorer folk can have them too!

I also used them on Adam Khoo’s blog and it definitely worked in getting more traffic to out website. So if there’s one particular site you want most of your users to go to, this peel away ad is great way to grab eyeballs. You could also consider using these for limited time promos, I think they work pretty well that way too.

Anyway, if you think this is something you might use for something you might wanna do sometime in the near future, you can grab them at www.PeelAwayAds.com (not an affiliate link). It’s only US$37, so nothing that will have you needing your arm or leg to get.

Oh well… I really mean what I say. So yes! Say NO to CB Affiliate Formula! (sorry Andrew…)

So why my plain objection to Andrew Fox’s latest offering to the market? Well, it’s simple really. I bought the damn thing and I am SO unimpressed. Especially if I’m going to fork out $77/month!

Let me explain why…

Ok, I’m sure you’ve been bombarded with emails from internet marketers left, right, and centre about CB Affiliate Formula, and I was no different. Bang, bang, bang! The emails kept jumping into my inbox. ALL talking about the same thing. Sheesh…

So I went to check out the salesletter with no real intention of buying (you visit salesletters more to learn how people are selling their stuff). Needless to say, I thought it was a pretty nifty salesletter. I mean a picture of TWO Ferrari’s can’t do tooooo badly, can it?

Anyway, I decided to just check it out, since like almost the world was raving about it. Besides it’s being sold on Clickbank anyway, so if I really didn’t like it, I know I could get a refund.

So I made my order to lock my membership in at the introductory price of $77. I got my login details and went to take a look at what Mr Fox had to offer. I almost fell over the complete lack of real, actionable content in the member’s area! I was going – ‘WTF? I’m paying $77/month for this!?’

Well, let me just give you a quick rundown of what you’re going to discover in the member’s area.

You get a quick start flowchart which you will have no idea what to do with (especially if you’re really new) plus a video of him yapping about what his flowchart’s all about.

You get two PDF’s , each about less than 20 pages long, about how he promoted other’s people stuff and made a ton money. Nothing really comprehensive or groundbreaking here.

An opportunity to JV with him. Which would be great really. I heard he offered this as a fast action bonus during his Guru Slayer launch, but he hasn’t followed up on it. So we’ll see how this one turns out.

Couple of MP3 interviews he did with Mike Filsaime and Jeff Mulligan. uh huh…

How to become his affiliate, his recommend affiliate product of the month, and a brand new forum to hang around in.

Wow…

I’m stunned. It’s just so empty. If I were a complete beginner, I’d have NO bloody idea what to do. Seriously. Even for me now, I’m going – ‘okaaaaay… now what do I do?’ There are no real instructions or actionable steps to take. It’s almost like Fox just plunked a few things together and charged a bundle for it.

The best part of the whole product is the salesletter and how he managed to sell 1000 memberships in a space of a week, in my opinion. Go study that and his sales process.

Ok ok. Since this is a membership site, he’s gonna add more stuff and meat to the whole thing, and then it would be really worth the money. But at the moment, it’s a no-no for me. Not at this price.

I plan to see what he has to offer in the coming weeks, and if it’s not worth the price, I’ll just get my refund.

Oh yeah here’s the link if you want to see the site: CB Affiliate Formula.

It says 19 spots left, but it’s been saying that for the last 24 hours. Could it really take thaaaaaat long to fill 19 spots? right….

Nice spiffy cover eh?

Dude B

Ummm.. yes!

It’s amazing what a beard and a bald pate can do for your looks. But anyway… before I get into trouble (haha!), this here is Michel Fortin, one of the pre-eminent copywriters out there.

I stumbled across his site somehow and I was just blown away with the amount of solid copywriting information he provided for free! It’s actually a 2.5 hour video where he literally critiques and rips aparts his client’s salesletters, telling him what he should and shouldn’t do.

I just had my ass stuck to my seat for 2.5 hours just learning from this man, how he thinks and how he comes up with ideas to improve copy. I totally enjoyed and if you’re looking for a great copywriting video, check this one out at The Copy Doctor.

Really good.

Why are we promoting it?

2 reasons.

1. It’s a good product
2. Because Adam Khoo’s IN the product

haha! Ok joke aside… Get Mastermind Income Generator if you seriously want to learn how to build a core team of people to help you achieve success faster (or at all!).

All successful people have a superstar team behind them that made success possible. Because we can’t all be good at everything and we need to leverage off each other’s strength to move forward.

But don’t take it from me! I’m not the guru, go read about how Adam Khoo’s team made him a millionaire in his recent blog post.

Mastermind Your Way To Success!

Ok now it comes to my part.

I know this is very common but just let me share about my experience since this is my blog and you have no choice to read it if you’re reading it.

Sometimes when you want to promote an affiliate product, it may be a very good idea to offer free bonuses along with it. Especially during a hot product launch and everyone’s promoting it at the same time.

Why would people buy through your affiliate link? They could just buy it straight from the vendor or from another affiliate who’s got the nicer looking teeth, right?

So since people are so hard to please, we marketers have had to come up with even more shameless bribes to entice you to make the purchase via my affiliate link.

And what’s wrong with that? It’s more power to the consumer, they get even more value, the affiliate gets paid and the vendor gets paid. Everyone goes home happy.

And it works.

So we’re doing it now. Take a peep at the bonus page we put for Mastermind Income Generator to have a look at an example. It’s even got Stuart at gun point…

BANG!

My friend, Joel Chue, is launching his new product soon, but before he does that, he’s going to give away two FREE copies of this:

To me, if you’ve got a chance to win something useful, I’d say just go for it. Leave a comment (or two) and you could walk away with something worth over US$100 for free. So take a shot! You might win.

Ok! Now that the promo’s outta the way. Let me talk to you more about my friend, Joel.

I met him way back in Aug last year during one of the training sessions for Jumpstart To Profits. Being the only other young face in the room, I was attracted to him (haha.. laugh..).

Anyway, I chatted him up (wuuu.. sounds wrong) and found out he was under Stuart’s coaching program and he had a few websites and running already making some money online.

Stuart was sharing about how Joel’s really ‘ON’ about lotsa thinigs and making things happen on the internet and I learn that he was in NUS 1st year and he was just 20! Omigod, I feel old.

Anyway, that was back then and we meet up every once in awhile to catch up about how making money on the internet’s like and he shared with me about how he planned to hook up with all the gurus and mentors, kidnap them to a room and grill them till they reveal everything about their success secrets.

I thought that was pretty daring but you know what? He actually did it!

And so this is what you see right now. An entire program of kidnapped mentors spilling out their guts to you. Sound good? Go get your free copy now:
