Worldwide Internet Consulting: Franchise Scam

Do your subscribers a favour… let them know that it IS POSSIBLE to make a healthy income online without resorting to tactics like this.

Let me know what you think!

Tony Blake

I run about 30 extremely active websites. I have another 50 or so that run with minimal supervision… and another bunch in development at any given moment.

Now this issue doesn’t crop up too often, but it happens enough that I took great pains to avoid the problem, yet here it is again.

EMAIL IS NOT A RELIABLE FORM OF COMMUNICATION!

I just got a message from someone letting me know that THEY had received a HELP DESK TICKET because the person didn’t get a reply from an email they had sent to me – and this person (for whatever reason) decided to complain to the person who referred my services.

I HAVE A SUPPORT DESK!

If I don’t receive an email, there can be many reasons for it…

Perhaps your email was deleted as SPAM by some vigilant filter.

Maybe it got lost in the hundreds of garbage emails I get every single day and it was simply overlooked.

Perhaps I am not at my main computer for a few days due to travel, and have not yet seen it.

Or a simple misspelling of an email address sent it off to Siberia.

Whatever.

Social networks like Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc. are NOT a good way to reach me either. I do not monitor these for important business communications – I use them for social networking and entertainment, and do not have time to spend more than a few hours a week tending to these accounts.

I set up my Support Desk because it is FAR more reliable than email. Submitting a ticket, you can’t misspell my email address, or get lost in a SPAM filter or junk folder. If I am away from my main computer for a few days, I check my Support Desk regularly to make sure anyone who needs me gets an answer right away.

Here’s my lesson for today:

If you have an important question, concern or request that you need an answer for immediately, USE MY SUPPORT DESK.

What would you do?

A few months ago I met Heather Ann Havenwood through Tony Blake. She was in this exact, unenviable position: she had lost pretty much everything — her business, her home, her money — she had to file bankruptcy, and was living hand-to-mouth…

She was very frustrated, and close to giving up…

Maybe you know someone that’s going through the same thing.

Maybe it’s you!

Heather got lucky.

Connecting with Tony Blake – a real expert and incredible business mind – he helped her by brainstorming ideas with her, shared some of his proven formulas that were not particularly hard to do, easy plans to help her rebuild her business and generate some much needed cash fast.

Then she did what most people fail to do – she got to work on those ideas, and things began to turn around for her.

>> 30 Day Restart Plan <<

Heather has asked a dozen successful, experienced entrepreneurs (many who you know already) that “bottom line”, urgent question that everyone wants to know:

What would YOU do if you had to start from scratch – and succeed! – in just 30 days?

These experts are going to tell you, step-by-step, exactly that:

David Lakhani – Perry Belcher – Alex Mandossian – Mike Filsaime
Tony Blake – Steven Cates – Lisa Preston (that’s me!) – Andy Duncan
Rick Raddatz – Mark Cunningham – Diane Conklin

All of them have one thing in common: They started from scratch (just like you) and have built their companies into highly successful businesses. With no more than the basics: A phone, computer, little (if any) cash… They started with no list, no clients and no experience.

Sound familiar?

They have another thing thing in common: Each of  these entrepreneurs are willing to truly give you the tools they themselves used to help you get started!

>> 30 Day Restart Plan <<

It’s going to be a 3 days of powerful information, strategies and tactics designed to show you how to build (or rebuild) your business, fortunes and life…

If you are serious about building your business and are ready to get started check it out… this could finally be your ticket to real business success!

The series starts on Tuesday morning, but don’t worry if you can’t attend every session — each one will be recorded, and you’ll get access to the MP3’s. I’ll be giving my presentation on Thursday, March 12 at 10am Pacific | 12pm Central | 1pm Eastern.

Don’t waste another day wondering what you should do… check out the 30 Day Restart Plan now!

I will be letting you in on what I’ve been busy with for the last while very soon – so stay tuned! In the meantime, I have come across something worth your time…

I can personally vouch for the fact that you will be completely astonished by everything you’ll get – including “unadvertised” stuff… he just never stops!!

Don’t waste a single moment more…

Absolutely Nuts Offer :: ICGM

Tony Blake is truly nuts.

I should know. I spend all my time with him!! (LOL!)

Right now he is giving away 51 gifts to give you.. absolutely FREE…

You see, he’s celebrating his 51st birthday (late, I might add!) and decided to reward you with a whole pile of great gifts I know you’ll enjoy, learn, use and profit from… and these aren’t junk gifts either…

Unfortunately the birthday celebration almost didn’t happen! In fact, you should have gotten the gifts over 4 weeks ago, but life is often funny and things get in the way…

But not today!

Right now I want you to visit the following website. When you get there, you’ll find a video where Tony explains how you can get your hands on the 51 gifts he wants to give you…

Plus he’s also going to show you how you can continue to get weekly gifts from him all year round! He’s gone absolutely nuts putting this together for you… and my pain is your gain (trust me, I personally put a lot of work into this puppy!) and you’re going to like what he’s put together…

Okay, get ready to grab your gifts… here’s the link:

Tony Blake’s Absolutely Nuts Birthday Giveaway!

He’s never done anything like this before and may never do this again (trust me on this), so don’t miss out on his incredible giveaway…

Oh, and when you get your gifts you’ll also find out about something very rare that he’s doing designed to push you forward in your marketing career and make a big difference in 2009…

So, don’t delay… here’s the link again:

Tony Blake’s Absolutely Nuts Birthday Giveaway!

Grabbing these gifts is like robbing Ft. Knox… there’s tons of gold in what he’s put together for you…

I don’t know how long he’ll have the doors to this celebration open so I wouldn’t delay… I don’t want you to miss out…

Not sure what a “squeeze page” is? A squeeze page is another word for “landing page”, and applies to pages designed to collect a visitor’s name and email while providing something enticing in return.

Things like ebooks and ecourses have been popular squeeze page gift items, and to some extent they still work – depending on the perceived value of the item. I personally still use these types of offers on my niche squeeze pages all the time.

But the bar continues to rise when it comes to collecting names on squeeze pages. The constant assault of spam that hits everyone’s inboxes make people reluctant to sign up for anything online. As marketers continue to pile on the free stuff (especially in the internet marketing niche) to entice people to fill out their forms, we’re all faced with something referred to as “moving the free line.”

This refers to coming up with increasingly bigger and better, more valuable items to give away if you want your visitors to give up their email on a traditional squeeze page.

Video squeeze pages can actually capture visitor information without giving anything away for free!

A video squeeze page can play on your visitors’ natural curiosity. Pique their interest… and provide the solution they crave, which is revealed in part 2 of your video on the “other side” – without any additional “freebies” required!

Video squeeze pages do take a bit more work than the traditional squeeze pages we’re so familiar with. Fortunately, the tools to make videos are built right into modern computers.

Graphic designers have begun to include attractive video pages in standard sizes as a “must” in their template packages… including my own! You can see the latest offering here: Graphics With Impact 2008 Blowout Package

It has never been easier to put video on your websites!

Focus on the structure for your video, where the answer to your visitors’ compelling problem  is revealed in a second video, which is on a page visitors reach only after they’ve opted in to your list.

Leave your visitors eager to see what happens next and you’ll see a marked increase in your conversion rate, higher than you ever could by simply giving away an ebook.

A good first impression is CRITICAL to branding you and your product and making your customers trust you enough to give you their money.

This incredible package covers every angle – and more!!

Graphics With Impact 2008 Blowout Package

Not only are you going to see the most original and wildly complete package you’ve likely ever seen, but you’ll also be the first to get a look at something truly brand-new… and I hope you take advantage of it!

Video is hot, but streaming video is even hotter. This package will put you head and shoulders above your competitors.

And with LIMITED NUMBERS AVAILABLE, you’ll dominate in your niche.

Read the whole thing… by the time you’re halfway through, your jaw will drop!
