Why I Recommend Teleseminar Secrets

Thanks to Alex, I produced Ultimate PR Secrets, a program that introduced me to eight of the biggest names in the PR business. Alex gave me the information, but he also motivated me to get up the courage to call the speakers and the tools I needed to get produce the virtual seminar.

Tonight he’s introducing the next version. The training includes live phone calls with Alex, recordings, transcripts, special offers, admission to a mastermind group, a pre-loaded learn pod with over 60 CDs of his best teleseminars, website templates, tested email templates, private resources lists and lifetime alumni privileges.a pre

If you want to study how to market online, manage affiliates and package information, this program is worth the price. But, if you’re not going to work it right away, take a pass. And, if you don’t have that kind of money to invest, don’t buy it. This program isn’t for everybody. It is for people who are looking for a system that works that comes with copy, affiliate marketing instruction, web designs and mastermind connections.

When I bought the program in 2005, it was a stretch to pay that much, but I’m so glad I did. It’s a great class, Alex is a master teacher and he discounts almost every single course he offers to his alums.

Originally Published in December 2007

How unusual – my second post of the day with a recommendation for something that makes you and your business better. Interested in becoming a Teleseminar Secrets [link goes to my affiliate site] student? Here’s my story.  But, you don’t have to buy in yet – just listen to the Teleseminar Secrets preview call for $20 before December 5, 2008 [changed for this year's date].

In November 2006, I first mentioned Alex Mandossian’s Teleseminar Secrets on this blog and heavily promoted the program to my ezine subscribers.

Why?

Let’s go back to the beginning. Make that December 2005 . . . can you remember two years ago?

Follow me, I know the way. Surely you remember going to the best of the last of the 2005 movies – King Kong and Brokeback Mountain ring a bell?

Now, do you know where you 24 months ago?

I do. I was – not – into Internet marketing or thinking of myself as much of an expert in anything when along comes my friend Jenny who emails me to let me know I should be taking a course from some guy she knows named Alex. And, by the way it costs $1800. “But not for you,” she says because “I’ll split my commission. And, I’ll have a study group to keep you on track.”

So began my fate-full decision to become an Alex Mandossian student. I dropped out of book group; played Alex live on my speaker phone; learned how to market and host a teleseminar and even offered free teleseminar marketing and production to 200 of my closest colleagues. Thankfully, only one took me up on it.

My first teleseminar, “How to Transform Your Company Into a Customer Magnet,” become my ethical bribe in exchange for an email opt-it for over a year. In January, I produced Ultimate PR Secrets, a virtual PR event. 

Part coach, part professor, part long-distance mastermind colleague, Alex is one of the best teachers and marketers I know. After I went through TSS, I bought into many other continuing education programs. Finding someone with Alex’s skill, finesse and dedication to his students’ success is genuinely refreshing. And, once you become a TSS student, you are a teleseminarian for life.

Last year, my blog was one of a handful that promoted or mentioned TSS.

Although searches for Teleseminar Secrets wind up here, this is my first 2008 promo post. Considering the doors close tomorrow, I’m on the late[r] side. I’m struggling with keeping a balance between information and promotional blogging.

Speaking of blogging, in last night’s TSS preview call, it was clear the host himself is a big blogger:  Alex Mandossian’s blog.

Last night Alex said he was into dialogue. The lines went dead for a few minutes after he opened them for comments from callers. An early blip in an otherwise flawless call, Alex used the line drop as proof that engaging callers is important. Engaging readers is important, too and that’s why he uses so much video on his blog.

Beyond the move into blogging, my other big takeaway from last night’s call is Alex’s suggestion that the marketing funnel isn’t working. I agree with him when he says he’d rather have 10 $2000 students than 200 $10 ebook buyers. When you take away the ladder, funnel or whatever you call it and let the buyers buy in where they want, everyone wins. Why make someone buy in sequences when they want to start at the top? Do you agree? What do you think?

Oh . . . here’s my 2008 Teleseminar Secrets bonus offer:

- 8 hours of Ultimate PR Secrets master recordings, valued at $397

- 1.5 hours of personalized teleseminar social media and online PR marketing coaching, valued at $450

Experts Question Oprah & Larry King on “The Secret”

Update and insight 5.03.07

Because Dave Lakhani agreed to be my first Ultimate PR Secrets speaker, when I saw his press release about ”The Truth is the Secret,” I decided to write a post. I came up with the catchy title “Experts Question Oprah and Larry King on ‘The Secret.’” Here we are six weeks later and traffic is still flowing in. Today, this post is 3/625,000 Google results for larry king and oprah and the secret. And, 1/1,120,000 for oprah larry king 2007. So . . . thanks for stopping by and feel free to browse around a bit and check out the links below. You may also want to visit The Truth is Secret where you can download the recording.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Before I saw “The Secret,” I read two excellent books about persuasion and influence that talk about how to take action to get what you want. The authors, Kevin Hogan and Dave Lakhani, will be talking about their take on “The Secret” on Wednesday, March 21. Having interviewed Dave Lakhani on PR and Persuasion, I know this will be an intriguing discussion. Here’s a clip from The Truth is the Secret‘s PR Web press release:

The movie and book taking the nation by storm “The Secret” has met with few challenges to it’s message of “Your thoughts attract everything in your life.” And, while the idea sounds innocuous and seems like just more self help pop psychology, no one is asking the hard questions like “where’s the proof?” This Wednesday March 21st at 9:00pm, Eastern psychologist and author Dr. Kevin Hogan, cult and persuasion expert Dave Lakhani and Television Producer and Persuasion expert Blair Warren are hosting an international round table to discuss the issues and the challenges with The Secret.

PR Web Reports: Actual Reads, Statistics, Visits and Search Terms

prweb_statistics_corywest_media_ultimate_pr_secrets.jpg

Click on the image to read today’s PR Web reports for our Ultimate PR Secrets press release. PR Web’s report contains some valuable information – like the top search engine terms used to find this release.

You, too, can get a report like this for every PR Web press release you send out. But, first you’ll need to invest $200 in the distribution and reporting features, both features you won’t get with a free service.

Here’s how I interpret the report:

- number of reads, 79,699, an estimate of the number of screens where the release appeared – this doesn’t mean any of the browers actually stopped to read it. Snaring a skimmer’s attention with a catchy or controversial headline contributes to a higher pick-up rate . . .

- the estimated pick -up for this one, 1197, gives me an idea of how many outlets covered this story. To get a reality check on the numbers, I set up a Google Alert with the headline and I search multiple ways to see where the release landed. When a find the release posted somewhere, I immediately contact the blogger or website contact to thank them. Google Alerts report back to me whenever the story is picked up. Many of the “outlets” are pseudo-news sites set up on Ad Sense templates.

- prints – only 6 readers printed out the story

- pdf downloads – 53 people downloaded the release – many Internet PR pros say this is the only statistic that matters

Overall, here’s how our PR Web results stack up in terms of average results:

- estimated pick up ranges from a low of 1.5% of reads to a high of 7.6%

- .pdf downloads range from .01% to almost 1%

- number of site visits averages about 1.5% of total reads, depending on the release and the call to action

Keeping in mind this release went out just about a month ago and comparing it to trends from our other PR Web releases, I expect the number of views to top 100,000 by April.
