Top 3 Reasons You MUST Watch “How’d You Get So Rich?”

admin — Mon, 31 May 2010 22:58:23 +0000

Now, first of all I must admit, I am NOT a big t.v. watcher. I rarely go out of my way to watch any t.v. except for the occasional break from reality and usually watch things that make me laugh, get inspired, or educate me. I recently stumbled upon a show that does all three at the same time: “How’d You Get So Rich?”

This show, hosted by Joan Rivers, is about the American Dream and all the creative ways that people have discovered to build their American Dream from nothing.

Here are my top 3 reasons why you should go out of your way to watch this show:

Reason #1: Joan Rivers is funny as sh*t! I used to think she was loud, annoying, obnoxious, and not original. I have changed my opinion of her after watching this show. She is quick, witty, still obnoxious and annoying, but HYSTERICAL! She really owns this show. It wouldn’t be the same without her.

Reason #2: If you are an entrepreneur, a dreamer with BIG ideas, and someone who hasn’t quite “made it” yet, this show can really inspire you to get off your ass and make it happen! Never give up!

One of her recent guests was John Paul, owner of the Paul Mitchell salon products line, as well as the Patron Tequila brand. At one point in his life, he was homeless! Now, his net worth: $4 BILLION DOLLARS!

His secret for building a brand: “You must have the finest quality available, and then you’re in the reordering business and not the selling business.” GOLDEN ADVICE

Reason #3: You need to educate yourself to the fact that there are a MILLION ways to make a million dollars…or much more. So many people believe if they aren’t a doctor or lawyer, weren’t born into money, don’t win the lottery, etc., that they will never achieve massive success. That is simply not true. Success has come to people in so many different ways that, at the time, seemed crazy. Another one of Joan’s guests was the guy who invented the wee-wee pads so your pet doesn’t pee in the house! The guy is worth a bazillion dollars now.

Go out there and MAKE your dream happen!

Look Great Naked At 61 Years Old?

admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 20:10:59 +0000

Additional thoughts: This is NOT just about “looking great naked”. It’s about the underlying effect of feeling great about yourself in every way. Looking great naked and having a sports car body is just a bonus! If you want to FINALLY feel energized, have great mental focus, super endurance, increased flexibility, control your weight in a natural way, get off the “work out yo-yo”, learn mindset techniques that help you achieve ANYTHING in life that you want (this goes WAY beyond the law of attraction), and tap into your own “fountain of youth”, you owe it to yourself and your family to be in the absolute best health you can be in! Right? This is for men AND women! To access the event page, click HERE.

I am definitely not a celebrity, but I am an “ordinary people” who is trying to teach people the right way to use Twitter without spamming.

To show my appreciation for anyone who votes for me, I will be giving them a free copy of my new product “Tweet Leverage” which will be released to the public within the next few weeks.

This is about REAL relationship building and providing true value to the community you can be proud of and in the process creating as much success as the “Law Of Attraction” deems worthy to you.

Here is a testimonial from one of my recent clients:

“Since meeting Rob Lear, I have made connections that have helped my brand image really get noticed. Allowing him to control my Twitter account for a short period of time my followers, quality ones, have increased nine fold. My work has been recognized by a television celebrity with a million followers that is a regular guest on The Today Show, CNBC, and The Travel Channel. The host of one of Bravo’s hottest television shows has also noticed my work thanks to Rob. You can offer the best products and services, but if your corporate image is not out there for the taking, neither are your sales. There are a lot of guys out there claiming to expose your brand, and they can, but Rob gets you noticed based on your demographic and what YOU are looking for. Just do what he says, and let the magic happen!

I just finished listening to a webinar with Perry Belcher and Ryan Deiss about social media marketing and decided to make a quick video talking about the top 5 things I took away from the webinar.

If you don’t know who Perry Belcher is, he has become quite a rock star in the social media world, primarily on Facebook and Twitter, where he has amassed over 100,000 followers in the last 9 months and claims to average about $1 per follower per month. That is quite impressive.

Anyway, here is the video where I talk about the things I learned on this webinar:

To Sell Or Not To Sell On Twitter: That Is The Question

admin — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 05:35:30 +0000

I got a GREAT question the other day from one of my Twitter friends named Michael.

Okay, so is there a way to monetize twitter without offending the audience?

That is a question that I believe 95% of Twitter users fail to ask themselves, or ignore more than likely. It’s no wonder people are not seeing good results with their marketing efforts on Twitter, or anywhere else for that matter if they don’t at least consider this question.

So, are there people actually monetizing their Twitter use? Absolutely! Are they pissing a few people off along the way? Probably, but that’s life. You can’t please all the people all the time!

However, if you are on Twitter exclusively for self promotion, selling affiliate products, etc. and that’s all you spend your time doing, then you are probably not very happy with the results. Twitter is not some mountain that you climb to the peak of with a megaphone and announce your fabulous widget to the world. If life were just that easy… (Actually, I’m glad it’s not!)

Here is one of my favorite quotes by Albert Eistein that I tweet about all the time:

“Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.”

This tweet gets “retweeted” more than anything else I talk about on Twitter. It’s such a great philosophy to follow and believe it or not, MUCH more effective than self promotion alone.

If you spend 90% of your time on Twitter being a trusted resource, and 10% of your time promoting yourself, the results you achieve will far exceed 100% self promotion efforts! Plus, it will give you that warm fuzzy feeling knowing you helped people.

So, here are my TOP 5 suggestions on how to achieve this:

Reply to EVERY personal message you get from other people on Twitter. I’m not talking about canned DM’s or generic responses. Just the messages that an actual human took the time to write to you specifically.
RT (retweet) good stuff that people you follow tweet about. This is a great way to build relationships with the people you follow. They will definitely appreciate it. Don’t RT just to RT though. Make sure it’s worthy of the re-distribution. If people RT your tweet, make sure you send them a thanks for doing so.
Participate as much as possible with the Twitter culture. Spend time doing #followfriday #musicmonday, etc. *IMPORTANT* When doing #followfriday, don’t group a bunch of people together generically and tell people to follow them Take the time to create a #ff for each person you recommend and explain WHY people should follow them. You will get MUCH better results, and those you recommend will be much more appreciative and willing to do the same for you.
Tweet quotes that have special meaning for you (such as my Einstein example). People LOVE good quotes and quotes get retweeted more than just about anything else. Quotes catch my eye immediately and I retweet them all the time.
Stop promoting products that teach people “how to get 16,000 new followers in 90 days” when you only have 200 followers yourself! It’s garbage, total garbage! People are sick of it. Don’t do it!

Bonus Tip: If you are using an auto reply for new followers, STOP promoting yourself in your DM!!!! Don’t send people to your website, don’t send them to your facebook page, don’t send them to the latest greatest widget, DON’T SEND THEM ANYWHERE! If you do use the auto reply, (it’s risky) try to say something that engages them, something that invites converstion and response. Be funny, ask questions about THEM. Don’t talk about you at all! This is where your j.v.’s are established…

Michael Jackson is NOT Dead!

admin — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 06:08:02 +0000

“Say it isn’t so. This must be a bad nightmare! Michael Jackson cannot be dead!”

This is what I keep telling myself, over and over again.

I am still in shock, as is the rest of the world…

Love him or hate him, he was truly a pop icon of massive proportions. In fact, I can’t think of another human being (still alive) on earth that is possibly more famous than Michael Jackson.

Although he was talked about more recently for his personal life than his talents, he definitely still had millions and millions of fans throughout the world who would weep tears of joy at the mere sight of him. He brought happiness to many people, and he will be greatly missed!

I, personally, would like to remember Michael Jackson more for his musical talents than his issues in his private life.

Michael Jackson is NOT dead! He will live on in our memories forever…

Whenever someone we know dies, famous or not, we tend to reflect on our own lives and remember just how fragile and precious life is.

As you read this post and think about your own life, ask yourself if you are living life the way you truly want to live it. If not, what are you going to do to change it?

Pursue life with passion,

Rob
