One of the most inspirational speakers at the Rockin Conference I attended in Orlando was Gary Vaynerchuk. He has his game on 100% and will no doubt own the NY JETS one day
. His passion is palpable and he literally sat there for HOURS after his speech, definitely hungry and tired.. until everyone felt that they had whatever piece of him he could give before moving on.
Some people, as Frank Kern so expertly delivered at the conference, have to do deep introspection to figure out WHO THEY ARE before being able to take over your market. You become 100% true to yourself, be 100% true to your Market, and the rest will follow.. Gary was BORN with it, and it seeps from his being. He was trying to teach it, and yeh.. some people will get lucky, and will train themselves how to market from their CORE.. but it may just be you either HAVE it or you DONT. Well let’s rephrase that. Everyone HAS something.. its just owning up to that and being great at it.
So can I make a living being a flirt lol.. I probably could.
As I went over to winelibrarytv.com to see Gary in action, I thought it was pretty ironic that the episode of the day, #422, is all about Kosher Wines. Do you know Gary that the symbol for tourism in Israel is 2 figures holding HUGE grapes! Well some of you may know where that Biblical story came from, and it didnt exactly turn out great, but the logo stuck.. - Check it out —>
I especially love how Gary says one of the wines smells like Bacon. Wonder if he knows Bacon is way up high on the NON Kosher list . So Gary, this chick from Israel thanks you and appreciates you for your appearance in Orlando, your personal time, your inspiration, and the support you gave our products today!
Right back at ya:
P.S - One thing that Gary has are FANS. TRUE fans. I dont think you would believe me if I told you HOW many people visit this blog, and READ, but DONT comment! Be a part of the conversation. It’s so much more fun for both of us, and then I can get to know you better, and maybe share with you some of my secrets hahaha.. seriously dont be scared. I know you are out there!!
My favorite Disney Picture (I was at the conference, so didnt get much Disney time therefore my Mom and Sis have all the pics!) so my ONLY picture from our trip - 2 of the kids sleeping on the plane.
Parting words of the day: Brand Yourself through Your strengths and Talents, Fans will Follow, and the rest will Happen.

I know I promised this video 2 days ago, but 2 things happened:
1) I got tired. Sorry. It happens occassionally. I will try not to let it happen again.
2) I decided last minute to remove all references to a report I was promoting in the VIDEO. Not because I dont find it worthy of promoting, in fact I am.. right HERE and read below.. but I wanted the video to be more timeless and well.. have the potential to promote ME :). However, instead of re-recording, I just took the same footage and chopped it up even more!
As is typical.. just as I am getting ready to do something, someone else comes along with a big bang! Andrew Cavanagh wrote a thread on the Warrior Forum suggesting similar ideas to what I mention in my video. As I suspected would happen, people were like WOW.. meaning the idea never occured to them. I did not actually see the thread in the forum. I think it was removed so he could instead pitch the idea and sell it. I advise you to check out this $19.99 product since unlike many other products where you purchase and dont know what you are getting, he has his original forum post in his sales pitch and there are no secrets.
What you are getting in this report (< -- link) are tips to approach businesses, lingo with with to approach them, how to build up referrals (which it really is all about), services to offer, prices to charge, outsourcing suggestions, and some basic SEO practices.. Basically helps you fill in the holes. Not to hype it up, but his price will only remain for a while, since that is the rules of this forum! Be expected for a serious hike in the next few days.
By the way I am quite serious about what I wrote in the video. If you go out and get the clients, I will take half (well assuming you charge them enough!), and show you how to get it done. It wont take long for you to cut out the middle man, and do it for yourself! So go ahead and click contact!

Pretty much everyone out there in the blogosphere who has some involvement with anything internet knows about the very successful blogger John Chow. Except GOOGLE!! I searched ‘John Chow blog’, and he was Nowhere to be found! Same results for ‘John Chow’.
My first thought was concern for myself (its all about me!).. the more well known I become in my market, the more other, more successful online marketers will write about me. A search for Andrea Yager brought you here first + some other resources that I was personally responsible for. Now that I am on other peoples lips (and pages).. I will have to work harder to maintain my #1 spot for my name on the Search Engines..
Next thought… was DUH.. John Chow is like a web genius - do you really think searching for his name should show the hilarious John Cow? Google is smarter.. so I suspect some tug of war going on.. and
NOTE TO SELF: Start SEO’ing the Keywords John Chow Making Money Online Blogger since I have a better chance of getting that Organic traffic than he does. Also wonder what John Cow did right in his life to have this twist of fortune.
I finally had a chance to make money doing something I, ahem.. LOVE..
PayPerPost is offering $12 to write a post about Johnny Depp. ANYTHING about him. His new movie is coming out in the theaters, so paying people to write about him.. will certainly get the web buzzing. Gee, as if the web is ever buzzing about anything else.
Well, ignoring the fact that I have not been signed up to PPP long enough to be accepted (about 2 hours lol) and that I am doing this as a gratuitous gesture to the wonder that is JD, here is my part.
What does Johnny Depp have to do with Internet Marketing?
He got his fame by being a controversial character with integrity.
He maintained it by adding value to the users experience.
He is a true Maven in his market, and has even successfully reinvented himself from being a funky volatile punk to a funky loving father. He is an artist to be watched to see what he will do next.
I have no other reasons to be watching him. None Whatsoever. No really.

Here we are on the morning of the much anticipated release of Attention Age Doctrine Part II. The Doctrine that tells you how to maximize success in a world where keeping somoene’s attention is becoming increasingly more difficult..
Yet I will be the FIRST to admit.
I am NOT really looking that forward to reading another document. I download and buy more products than I have time to digest, and I am actually petrified that I will completely MISS the POINT.
Therefore I want to say it NOW, on the BLOG, for the record! WHAT IS IT THAT WE (I) Want from Rich Schefren. What is it that WE can get from HIM??
If you are looking to make some fast web cash, you will enjoy the free information and pick up some great tips and tools. But you can do that at the Warrior Forum, and just about from any clickbank product (if you follow it).
Nothing wrong with fast cash, but there comes a certain time in your career, when you realize that fast cash may be here today, but gone tomorrow. That for the sake of longevity, and the real meaning of passive income, there is so much opportunity in actually having a proper functioning business, that combined with your IM skills, if you allign yourself with the proper people and tools, you may have a blueprint to follow and people who care if you succeed. Thats Rich Schefren.
It doesnt matter if you want to focus on rapid weight loss, left handed fly fishers, or becoming an online consultant - you can either view yourself as pitching a product or creating a BUSINESS. If you are just creating a product.. then WHAT NEXT?? If you are creating a business (which YES you can around a niche), then you can position yourself to go very very far.
Which is just want I plan to do. Looking forward to it Rich.. and the business systems that follow!
Over at his blog, Rich shared with everyone my Video and admited that he deserved my creative dig! The comments that followed.. well lets just say they were WAY kinder than I expected. It was suggested more than once that Rich put me on his team ;)!!
Here is the video. I know my loyal blog readers already commented on other posts about it, but heck, post twice. It costs the same..
Below the video is a video response from Schefrens team directed to ME. Yes, I received MY first video response. I think he may even outdo me .. Enjoy! Dont forget to go pick up the Attention Age Doctrine Part II!
The video response:
Some Comments from Rich’s Blog Post:
CLASSIC.. Go Andrea! That was Brilliant..
Got My Laugh for the Day, Thank You!
What a brilliant video! But, really, Rich, I’m with her - but I’m with you too.
RIGHT ON, Andrea - that rocked!
Awesome video! I am friends with Andrea…… Damn she is something special, I was going to go for the dreamdate myself, but she has me beat with her mad video skills.
And Andrea, you’re clever, possibly brilliant… i don’t know what goes on in that mind of yours to create such a hilarious video, but you must have known what was going on in mine…
Thanks Andrea.
Good going. Way to keep those feet in the fire. Rich should sign you up to promote his stuff. You are the marketing queen of the net.
Funny stuff. Great video Andrea (as always)…
Congrats on getting Rich’s attention!
Loved Andrea’s video . . .
So now I want to know, “where’s part 2″?
YOU TELL HIM ANDREA !!!…LOL
Great Job! What a response~!
OOch~EEch~OUch!!!
There is a good chance this video is destined to be a classic.
Rich, you definitely owe that gal a hug. *(Andrea adds that she would settle for a phone call)
this must be the best “homegrown”
thing i saw in a while…..
andrea you should be on richS team
you definetly won best home made video
in my opinion
keep up the good work
Great Video Andrea! Your creativity is really impressive! I’m sure it’ll push Rich to ensure that Part II is better than ever!!
Andrea - I really enjoyed all your other videos as well! You have quite a talent! Shalom!!!
Is that unbelievable or WHAT?
Go Get Part II!!

Seriously how can I have time to blog, when I am too busy spending money. Even the Next Internet Millionaire was ahead of schedule .
I am going to go out on a limb here.. but it is my NEW belief that if you have $500 to spend and you know the right resources - in ANY GIVEN WEEK, you (aka NEWBIE or More) could cull ideas, hire / purchase the materials and get something up and going. This is actually a piece of the puzzle that I was always missing. I believed I had to do BIG.. and while it’s true that I am working on BIG to Earn BIG, if you can learn how to earn small, and set it up multiple times, thats a good start! And actually accomplish.
My next post.. ok very very soon.. will share more of what I am buying.. but since I just dumped this on you, I am going to give you an opportunity to check out a NEW report that is lauded as one of the best marketing ebooks around. For more than just it’s content. It’s combined with both 20 ways REAL Marketers earn at least $100 daily, and the creation of the product itself is a testament to the success that you can have as these 20 contributed, packaged, marketed it, and here I am promoting it!
Honestly $3000 per month is not enough for most people to ‘fire their boss’, but with 20 options, something is bound to be eye opening, give you a new perspective, take the idea and put a twist on it, and that’s what this whole education is all about.
So back to my shopping spree - Up until now, I usually would buy something for its value of what it CAN DO. I would be sucked in with the compelling sales copy. Naturally, the items would sit collecting dust on my hard drive. Heck, one of the main reasons items sell so well, is that 20% of the marketers are counting on 80% to do nothing with them!
It’s not like I am new to spending impulsively. As I explained before and will repeat until I can make YOU feel good about it, I invested in an education. SO what if the people were selling a DREAM, and I bought into that. I learned something. everything. I can assure you that my sister in NYU spending $45k per year, forcing my dad to push off retirement, will NOT come out more prepared. I guess it’s an expensive way to make sure she has a social life, since working from home online aint too good for that .. (love you Ris!)
This time I have a plan. Its not 100% formed. There are holes. There is flexibility. I havent entirely hit the nail on the head. But when I see something to purchase, I see how can it fits in this puzzle, and simplifies the process, hopefully offering a double advantage of saving money and earning us more. The Internet Marketing world is filled with items created for mass production, and therefore you can pick up an item for $37 that if ordered custom for you could cost in the $100’s if not $1000’s. Not to mention the chance to purchase online money making ideas (like I am promoting here) for anywhere from $7 to $47 which can get addictive, but often opens your eyes up to more possibilities, and increases your knowledge of the market, what is out there, and is a real bargain when you add up the added value you can attach to your resume.
A friend of mine who contributed ONE of these 20 ideas could sell it on it’s own for the price of the book. I loved his idea! Making money online is not all about loans, weight loss, and ebay! You can make money promoting Hanna Montana, and Britney Spears.. Find something for you (or your teenage kids) to do in their spare time to earn some cash. Multiply his idea by 20 and you have what I call a NO Brainer. For those of you who are a bit slow that was a link to check it out. HERE is another one.
