+===================
Evenin!
Sit back, gentle reader, and allow me to regale
you with the story of a hose.
A very irritating hose.
A hose that hosed up my emails to you!
See, it appears that aweber kinda sorta
ate up the entire gardening section of Home
Depot and resembled an explosion in the hosing
department!
Which is why you might have received all or
none or everything within 3 minutes etc.
My apologies!
I had a wonderful day actually, you? I’ve been
busy with my storytelling, aka:
| oOo ==> Storytelling and power marketing!
| http://askbling.com/arm30
Stay tuned – I’ll be sharing ’em all below.
And about idjut folk…here’s something you
NEED to repeat to yourself 345739576395395673
times.
Ahem.
I am NOT responsible for idjut people’s idjut
decisions!
Thank you very much, I feel much better now.
🙂
ARGH! But oh, it’s sooo true…you can help
out as much as you’d like but in the end…
you must let idjut people exercise their
right to be, well, idjuts. 🙂
And onto today!
It’s….STORYTIME!
===============================
[ MM ] I could deal with the broken teeth, but drew the line at:
Lots and lots of time I’ve been asked the following.
Jeepers Barb, how did you even GET into IM?
And that’s the funny thing, see…..I’ve been in
marketing now since 1997 but did leave for
various sundry reasons (oh, like raising 4 kids,
wreaking havoc on losing 50 pounds, etc.etc.etc.).
And during those times, I’d use excellent resources like
http://www.highrankings.com/forum/
http://affiliate-marketing-forums.5staraffiliateprograms.com/
http://webmarketingtoday.com/
Gosh, do you REMEMBER WilsonWeb? Wow, those
were the days….
But I digress. 🙂
In other words for the most part, I was *self-taught*.
I personally back then didn’t believe in paying
for quality information like what you’ll instantly
receive at
| oOo ==> 1 time payment for lifetime membership!
| http://askbling.com/drbenspecial
This is one reason why I’m not yet at the level
I really should be – I cut off months of tremendous
advice and learning and increased profits.
All together now…WAH!!!
‘course everything happens for a reason….and you’ll
never believe the reason that began my journey!
It involves a good intention that went soooo bad….
Sauron himself would have approved.
But that wasn’t the worst.
The 2nd worst involved my teeth…and the first….
Well, I’ll reveal that in the next installment!
Stay tuned!
======================================
==> [ e1KHoliday ] Here’s how it all started (can you guess what was in the party van?)
Here’s something that just recently
crossed my desk….so today you get one
extra amusing story!
As you might be aware, back in August, I
was invited by Dennis Becker to speak at his
wonderful Earn 1K a Day event.
Now, this was BEFORE my ankle was fused…
(heck, it was BEFORE my ankle collapsed)….
this was when I just knew that Dennis and his
E1KaDay forum was a fantastic resource for
serious marketers.
So! Imagine the following.
There I was in Vegas. Me, calm, cool,
Barbara Ling. The temperature was 105
degrees or so; so hot the statues outside
had sweat stains in their armpits!
So of course I decided to stay inside and
sit in on the initial mastermind. 🙂
There, I met bunches of stellar marketers….
and learned about what my peers and colleagues
were producing …
| oOo ==> Over 27 of these products are now on sale!
| http://askbling.com/e1kholiday
Needless to say, I really enjoyed meeting folk
like Nathan Briggs, Gene and Roey Pimmental,
Michael Gunn, Martha Mayo and bunches more!
Dennis, of course, I had met on the flight TO
Vegas (and back home as well, but that’s for
a later email!).
But it was one of the evenings where the
coffee *really* got hot.
It involved a party van 😉 and, well, mild mannered us…
You won’t BELEIVE what happened next…
… stay tuned, things get a bit crazy. 🙂
====================================
[ OFFLINE ] The Killer Toilet, the Rusty Hacksaw, and your future customer – A Ling Horror Story
I’ll never forget the day 3 years ago.
My husband was in China, I was home with my
passel of kids, mooses, twitter budgies and……
(sitting down?)
And the guest room toilet seat kinda sorta…
disintegrated.
Now, any parent with kids knows that this
is a very common household occurrence….
BUT normally it happens when non-home-
improvement-challenged peoples are around!
ie, I was TOTALLY clueless on how to fix
this….but that didn’t stop me!
Oh no, oh no, I simply decided to replace the
seat except…..
The seat apparently was build during the Dark
Ages and had the consistency of just-set
concrete. Ie, the 2 screw thingees…I couldn’t
remove!
Ho ho, chortled I, I will apply my Sherlockian
ways of fixing things….
And conjured up a hacksaw and went to work
with all the dandy enthusiasm of a Nascar
racecar powered by espresso.
3 hours later my toilet seat was slain,
I deftly replaced everything required,
and a heavenly chorus of angels posted
to Facebook and life was delightful indeed!
However, it’s pretty obvious that MOST
people when faced with a plumbing issue…..
Actually call a plumber!
Wouldn’t it be grand if they called the plumber
who is using YOUR services?
You know, your customer who offered them:
| oOo ==> Done For You Lead Gen!
| http://askbling.com/plumbersa
This is an engaging, super nifty lead-gen video featuring
Professor Hans Von Puppet that also gives you:
* a 7 Day email autoresponder sequence
* Pre-defined coupons
* Video Squeeze page
* MORE!
And at the price that’s being asked….really a
fantastic deal for your offline niche.
So! If you want done-for-you goodness in
the offline Plumbing niche….
| oOo ==> Sell these to your offline clients!

============================
Remember – I got inspired for the above by:
| oOo ==> Storytelling in eMails!

And dont forget this mornings:
Next, want 5 power social graphics groups in 5
popular niches? If so (and you’re going to
LOVE how I title this!)
==> 5 Power Social Graphics Groups in 5 Popular Niches!
http://askbling.com/5nichesa
Admit it – your heart soared with my
description! 🙂
These are graphic groups for 5 offline
niches and include FB Timeline Covers,
Twitter backgrounds Youtube Backgrounds
and more. Nice!
And did you grab the replay:
This just recently crossed me desk and after
all the holiday spending I’ve done and you’ve
probably done… chances are, you’re going to
want to hear this.
Sometimes…it’s the simplest things that compel
us really to question things!
Case in point. Yesterday, I gave an interview
about product creation and was asked, How do
I become an expert faster than a jack rabbit bunny
hyped up on Diet Coke and Mentos?
Okay true. I did just append that last sentence for
amusement’s sake, but the point remains.
The secret….costs 0. It’s simply effective research
on Google!
You’d be surprised how nobody wants to believe
it can really be…that simple.
‘Matter of fact, there’s *lots* of things in marketing
that can be achieved for zero cost!
Which is why you want to review:
| oOo ==> Dan will make it worth your time

What else makes this worth your while?

…What most people don’t realize is that
Dan is not only a master at marketing, but more importantly he’s a
master at NOT spending money. At least not on marketing. One might say
he is in love with Zero! Just spend an hour with Dan, and you will be
too.
Over the past year, Dan began training others in the concept of
Making more money, by spending zero. Thousands of people have
attended his popular Zero Cost Marketing Secrets training program but
that was only the beginning. Dan wanted to take ZERO to the next level.
He’s now come up with a new program to keep your marketing and business
costs at ZERO perpetually. …
