Could you please do me a favor?

by Nadav on February 19, 2009

This last week was one of the best I ever had. My business is starting to come together, I finally have a plan – a good one. I made myself sit down and write out all the actions I’m going to take. I feel like I’m really close to making it happen.

Do you want to know how I did it? I connected with people. I approached people via email, twitter and facebook for help and advice. Almost everyone responded and gave me much more than I asked for. Not only did I get advice, I also got the motivation to start working after being stuck for a few weeks.

One of the only things everyone agrees on in the internet marketing industry is the importance of seminars. After this week I understand why, it’s not so much what you learn from the speakers it’s about the connections you make. Business is all about the people you build relationship, share advice, and JV with. I’m sure that attending a seminar is what will really help me reach explosive success.

I was really excited when around a month ago Yanik Silver announced that he’s giving young entrepreneur scholarships to his Underground 5 seminar. I didn’t really think I have a chance but I like to be optimistic. I actually forgot to apply till late at night on the deadline date, I worked from 1am to 3am trying to best express myself. I didn’t get it, there must be much cooler kids out there :-) .

About a week ago I saw a tweet by Simon Leung about this awesome event he, Lee Collins & Robin Collins are doing in vegas called Rockstar Platinum Live (March 27-29). I was enthusiastic before I even read anything about it because of the rockstar theme. My dream was to be a rockstar till I realized that god didn’t bless me with the best voice ;-) . Except a cool theme there’s going to be some killer marketers like Deborah Micek, Matt Bacak, Tom Beal, Ross Goldberg and tons more. Since I didn’t make my moolah of cash online yet I tweeted Simon to ask him if he’s going to give scholarships, this was his answer:

simonleung Could you please do me a favor?The link was to the affiliate sign-up page, affiliates get 50% of the ticket price. I was thinking like “cool, but how do I promote that when I don’t have a big list yet?”. I then remembered how wonderful and helpful all the people in our community are and decided to do something simple: ask for a favor.

I’m not a guru and don’t have some mega huge bonus to give you, I can’t even take you for a drink at a bar (unless you get me a fake id). All I can give you is a link on my blog and permanent placing in my heart. I know that isn’t the best offer, but you will get the warm fuzzy feeling inside for helping a young entrepreneur on his road to his dream :-)

To attend the seminar (ticket & flight from Israel) I need to make 6 sales of full access tickets ($497) or 30 sales of floor seating tickets ($97). The price of a full access ticket is going up to $797 tomorrow (Febuary 20th) at midnight so you probably want to hurry.

So what do you say… can you please help me make my dream come true and buy from my affiliate link?

I would really appreciate it if you can tweet this and share it with your friends, even if you’re not planning to attend.

With UNLIMITED gratitude,

Nadav

P.S. Got ideas for other ways I can promote this? please post them in the comments.

Nadav.. I can tell you already that you’ve got what it takes.
Many people won’t even begin to take action and you’ve already blogged about it.
I am sure you are surrounded by great friends and followers on twitter.
So there’s ya list buddy! (that you didn’t think you had)

Come out to the event and tell your peers that you are going, I am sure they will want to meet you. By the way, I’ll be there too.

So stop by and say hello.

Keep on rocking on…

Thanks for the kind comment!
Yeah I do have really great friends on twitter but it’s different from a list. No one got a ticket through me yet…

As it looks right now I won’t be able to attend, but I hope a miracle will happen and I will see you there ;-)

Try LinkedIn, join the groups and set up your own. It’s a great way to connect with people.
