Hey there -
Here is an affiliate email I sent out to my list.
I want you to see how simple and easy it can be to generate a decent amount of cash in a short amount of time.
Read and study the email and then post a comment with what you think about the affiliate email and also how many sales you think it generated.
***** SWIPE EMAIL ****************
Let’s try this again.
I’ve got a bad habit and I need to break it.
See .. I sent you an email earlier about these one click WordPress Themes
http://www.warriorplus.com/linkwso/19mdch/1142
In my excitement to tell you about them I think I did you a disservice.
You see, I forgot to mention some critical things you should know.
#1 – You have full developer rights to these themes (but only for 48 hours). That means you can use them on your website, your customers websites, and more.
Not to mention that you can build sites and sell them on Flippa or modify them to suite your needs.
#2 – These are one click install websites. That means you’ll be able to simply install them on your customers websites OR have an outsourcer do it for you
#3 – There is complete training involved. From installing the theme to setting them up – they have you covered when it comes to ensuring a smooth delivery and installation.
http://www.warriorplus.com/linkwso/19mdch/1142
These theme’s are beautiful. They are only $10 and that is WAY less than what you would pay for a single theme at WooThemes or similar sites.
Not to mention you get two different products as a bonus for you to use (including some free backlinks).
Now you can see the themes, bonuses, and more here -
http://www.warriorplus.com/linkwso/19mdch/1142
Here’s what I am going to do to help you out
I am actually taking one of these themes and going to use it for a client’s website redesign.
I am going to document the entire process – from hiring the people, to getting the theme setup, etc – and share it with you if you take advantage of the offer.
Now in order to get the training you’ll need to pick up the front end offer and the OTO. Don’t worry the OTO is more themes for you to use and some really cool additional bonuses.
To me the bottom line is this – you get some amazing looking themes for dirt cheap for you to use instantly to make money with.
Not to mention I’m going to walk you through how to use them with an actual offline client.
So grab the front end and the OTO offer here:
http://www.warriorplus.com/linkwso/19mdch/1142
Then send me a ticket at http://www.timothycastleman.com/help and I’ll hook you up with access.
Ok off to a meeting, talk soon.
Tim

If you’d like to learn exactly how I did this I’d be more than happy to show you starting Monday night.

Hey there -
I’m writing this at 9:25pm on Wednesday night, November 16th 2011 and I’m a little bummed.
See about an hour ago I got off a webinar I presented for James Jones where I talked about affiliate marketing.
Specifically, I showed them just a few ways I’ve made close to $200,000 as an affiliate in 2011.
The comments from the webinar were amazing and inspiring:
“Great webinar with tons of content Tim”
“Talk about over delivery”
“Thanks for finally giving me an Ah Ha moment”
You can watch the webinar here by the way – http://www.timothycastleman.com/james
The sales of the affiliate marketing training I offered however sucked.
One of my worst performing webinars ever when it came to sales.
So I went in search of answers as to how people could be so happy with the content yet only a few wanted to actually learn how to do it.
One of the main answers I got back was this … “it sounds good but it seems like a lot of work.”
That’s when I thought about this sign that hangs in my mom’s shop:
Here is what I want to tell you: everything in life worth having takes work.
That’s right – I said a dirty four letter word … the secret sauce of internet marketers everywhere … this stuff takes work.
Not a lot of it mind you.
I bet I honestly work less than 20 hours a week and I’m able to make six figures a year.
But I do work.
No, I don’t break big rocks into little rocks nor do I punch a clock or draw a salary (although I did for 12 years and there is nothing wrong with that).
I love what I do and wouldn’t change it for the world – but still at its most basic level … it takes work.
The sooner you understand that – the better off you’ll be.
Sure marketers will do their best to convince you there is a shortcut, an easy button, a loophole, or some other bullshit product but the reality is while there are millions of things out there that can reduce the learning curve you still have to do some work to get there.
I also understand this …
For some of you this is just a hobby.
A way to spend a little time, to learn some cool stuff, to have an emergency “break in case of job loss” backup plan.
That’s cool. I get it.
Hell I sat on the sidelines for years before ever getting off my ass. In fact, if I didn’t hate my job so much and the people I worked with I might have never gotten serious and gotten started.
But I did.
And it took work to get from there to where I am today.
It took time, energy, and money to get to where I am today and I don’t regret a single second of it.
You see because I put in the work, I got the rewards.
Not at first though.
It took time.
Time for me to go from $100 a month to a few thousand, and eventually $10,000 and beyond.
So let’s be really honest for a second.
If you’re serious about being an entrepreneur and not just a wantapreneur, then stop looking for the easy button and start looking for a solid business model to follow.
Yes you can buy shortcuts and things that speed up your business – but you’ll never be able to eliminate that dirty four letter word – work.
Find people who are doing what you want to do and model them. Buy some consulting time, buy a few products, reverse engineer products and promotions.
Look at everything they do on two levels:
1. What they are sending out, selling, etc
2. Why are they doing it
Sounds like a little bit of work doesn’t it?
Now you’re getting the hang of this.
If you honestly want to get from where you are to where you want to be there is good news.
There is plenty of opportunity out there and if you provide value to others you can change your life and theirs.
But there is only one thing that is going to get you there … and it’s dressed up in overalls and it looks like work.

I get it.
Life’s tough, busy, and full of people, places, and things to knock you off your game plan or To-Do list.
For years I struggled trying to write a daily, weekly, monthly To-Do list in hopes of one day accomplishing everything on it.
It never happened.
The only thing that did happen was a lot of stress and frustration on my part as a result of not meeting my “goal” of finishing my To-Do list.
Then I made a radical change.
I burned the list and threw out all of my time management stuff.
No more running tally of things to do, day planners, electronic reminders, outlook calendars, etc.
What did I do instead?
I simplified everything.
Now each day I write a 3×5 card with a single task I want to accomplish.
You’re reading today’s task right now
That’s right, a single solitary task for me to accomplish each and everyday and here’s why I do it (and you should to).
Life is full of enough complication and stress already why add to it by setting up huge To-Do list and as a result setting the bar so high it’s almost impossible to succeed.
Imagine two days if you will …
Day 1 – you wake up, you rush to work or meet a client. In between meetings you check your Crackberry, Iphone, outlook calendar, Google notes, handwritten scribbles, etc and see everything that you want to accomplish today. Then the boss walks in (or a co-worker or client) and throws a wrench in your plan. Their emergency becomes yours and as a result your To-Do list gets pushed aside while you start putting out fires.
Once the fires are out, it’s back to your To-Do list to try and get a few of them knocked out before the day is over. Crap – look at the time, you’ve got a meeting you’re going to be late for. When you’re done with that it’s back to the pressure of trying to cross off To-Dos.
The end of the day arrives and you’re exhausted and frustrated. Nothing got accomplished off your To-Do and you focus on that fact as you drive home. When you get home you try and put in a few hours of work to make up for the “wasted” time during the day. Wasted time by the way is time you’re spending that isn’t helping you accomplish your To-Do list.
You go to bed, but not before adding a few more items to your To-Do list and reviewing the list once more. While asleep you dream about work instead of fun and you obsess about everything you have to get accomplished the following day.
Or you could do this …
Day 2 – Decide on a single task you want to get accomplished. You still get all the normal day to day distractions in the last example but instead of stressing about this or that you stay cool and calm. You know that you only have one thing to accomplish that day, instead of 30. Every spare second you get you work towards accomplishing that single taste and through a stolen moment here and there you accomplish it by the end of work.
You go home, recharge your batteries and spend time with your friends and family.
Before you go to sleep you take out a 3×5 card and write the single most important task you want to accomplish the following day. Once asleep, you’re less stressed and as a result you wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Now I know there are a few out there who are thinking right now … that will never work. There is no way I could get away with doing just a single task per day and survive, yet alone thrive in my business.
And you’d be wrong.
You see when you get down to it 90% of the “stuff” we do each day really isn’t that important to the end result. Sure we make it seem important in our minds (or our bosses tell us it’s important) but really when you step back there are just a few small hinges that swing massive doors.
What I suggest you do is suspend disbelief and just try it for 7 days.
Each morning (or evening before bed, your choice) take out a 3×5 card (or post it note) and write the single thing you want to accomplish.
Maybe it’s sending an email to a potential offline client.
Maybe it’s designing a lead generation direct response postcard.
Maybe it’s writing a list of goals for the upcoming year.
The choice is yours but the amount can and should only be one.
Then do everything within your power to accomplish that one goal.
When you do, take out another card (or use the back of the first one if you’re cheap) and write the next task.
Before you know it the success of accomplishing this one single task will grow on you and you’ll find yourself a lot happier as a result.
And it doesn’t always have to stay at one task. If you find yourself accomplishing that single task too quickly (if there is such a thing) then add an additional one.
A word of warning. Don’t get trapped in trying this out and then turning it into another major to do list.
The most amount of task you should have for any given day is three. Any more than that and you start getting in the vicious cycle we talked about in the beginning (complete with all the stress and horrible feelings).
Ok enough reading .. time for action. What’s your one thing that you’re going to accomplish today?
Think about it for a few minutes, then write it down, and get to work.
So what happens if the clock strikes 12 and your one task isn’t complete.
Don’t worry about it…. look life happens and sometimes situations beyond your control cause things to come up and you just can’t get that one thing done.
Stop stressing over it and attack that one thing the following day.
Now if you find after 2 or 3 days that one thing isn’t getting done chances are it wasn’t that important to you in the first place or you’re going to have to make it a bigger priority.
Whatever happens, just remember – underwhelm yourself instead of overwhelming your To-Do list.
A single task a day for an entire year is taking you 365 steps closer to your end goal in business or in life.
So I’ll ask you again … what’s your one thing?
Got it. Good. Now get to work accomplishing it.
Check out this video to see exactly how I setup a new computer in 30 minutes or less like the old one.
Enjoy.

Money is everywhere.
If you don’t believe me then just try spending some of it.
Here’s a great example:
My wife has been having a really rough time going to school at night and working during the day. This past week she hasn’t slept in days while working on a big project for work and cramming for finals for school.
The other day she reached her breaking point after blowing off one test to stay at work and complete a project.
Come to find out the deadline had been extended and no one told her. As a result she took a huge hit in her class grade and her stress level was off the charts.
Enter me and my crazy idea.
A nice relaxing massage. A bottle of wine and 60 minutes of mind numbing relation.
There was just one problem.
No one wanted to take my money.
Seriously, do you know how hard it was for me to book a massage???
Every place I called had a million reasons why they couldn’t do it.
Some were booked (what recession again??) solid or would take a week to schedule us, others couldn’t get us in after hours, and several of them didn’t even answer their phones.
** Quick side note – consider opening a business that only does mobile massages and only works after normal working hours – I bet you’d make a killing and overhead would be SUPER low**
One poor lady I called did answer just in time for her baby to scream right into the phone as I tried to get details and pricing.
Thanks for the birth control, no thanks on the massage was all I remember about that conversation
.
After about 2 hours of calling around I finally gave up and drove to a place by my gym.
After explaining my situation to them they were able to squeeze us in for later today and hopefully if all goes well my wife will feel relaxed and refreshed at the end of it.
But stop and think for a second.
It took me two friggin hours to find someone who after practically begging agreed to take my money to perform a non-necessity service like a massage.
The key takeaway from this for you should be to fold:
- Yes there are some businesses who are struggling out there but there are still plenty of them thriving who need and want your services. Think people will pass on getting their heaters ready for winter or unclogging the toilet when a problem happens? What about oil changes for the car or other things people are “forced” to keep up.
- Stop listening to the media and their bullshit. Look people are having a rough go of it – I get it. But stop watching the news and filling your head with that crap. I stopped watching the news at the start of the year and it’s the smartest thing I’ve done. No more 30 minute negativity sessions each night showcasing the bad in the world. And don’t worry – when big stuff happens (like Bin Laden and Gaddafi being killed) everyone will tell you about it on Facebook.
Here’s something that is critical to understand and remember …. the economy is nothing more than money transferring from person A to person B. If person A doesn’t have it, person B does. It doesn’t go away, the money doesn’t disappear – it gets transferred from one person to the other.
Your job is to find the people with money (PWM) and serve their needs.
Remember – money is everywhere. Simply find out where it is – and get in front of it.
Talk soon.
Tim
PS: I hope you enjoyed the free content in this blog post. Here’s another question to ask yourself … when is the last time you got free content from other people who’s email list your on?
I have no doubt why I’ve gotten fat.
I ate like crap, at a ton of sugars and carbs and more.
I took cheat days and turned them into cheat weekends and eventually cheat weeks.
Not to mention almost zero exercise in my life. I stopped BJJ training and didn’t replace it with anything else to do.
So I had an epic weekend of cheating and back on the horse this morning.
I went and lifted weights with my trainer.
I’ll get the workout I did and post it here later.
I’ll also post photos of the meals so people can see what I’m eating as well.
I didn’t eat breakfast (hell hangover) but here was lunch:
Wow.
After a month off the diet I’ve officially gotten fat again.
195.4 as of this morning.
So I’m taking a 30 day challenge to lose weight.
I’ll be documenting it here on the blog and facebook as well.
Feel free to follow along and join in.
As far as my diet I’ll be doing the Aktins diet – keeping my carbs below 20 grams per day.
Basically meat, eggs, cheese, and nuts.
In addition I’ll be working out 3 times a week with weights and lite cardio (I hate cardio).
The end goal is 170 pounds but to be honest I’d like to be down to 180 by my birthday (11/28).
Lets see what happens – follow along on my journey.
I’ll be weighing in once a week and recording my meals via photos for my records.
