Jim Edwards Update Jan 2005

Jim Edwards here with a couple of VERY important
announcements (and an article to help you deal
with the "information overload" that's sure to
hit you this month)!

It's a fact...

What you do this month (Jan 2005) will set the stage for
your success the entire year!

Right now, this minute, you're setting the tone for what
kind of year you'll have... because what you *think* about
NOW dictates your actions the next 12 months of 2005.

To help you kick-start 2005 the right way, I've arranged
two very eye-opening and up-to-the-minute events *this
week* so YOU can get what you want this year!


** Event #1 - The Google Gold Rush is Back On!
(January 11, 2005)

This past week Google announced a *MAJOR change* to their
AdWords advertising program... a change that will
profoundly affect ANYONE selling through affiliate
programs.

** This change applies to both affiliates AND affiliate
managers / product owners.

This change will revolutionize the way affiliates (and
affiliate managers) will use Google AdWords in 2005... and
the quicker you adapt the more profits you can grab!

I've arranged for world-famous Google AdWords expert Perry
Marshall and myself to get on the phone for a special
1-hour teleconference on Tuesday 1/11/05 to lay out exactly
WHAT these AdWords changes mean to you AND what you should
do NOW to position yourself for ongoing earnings! :-)

Go here to sign up for the fr^ee call now (limited seating)

But that's just the first half...

Regardless of whether you sell as an affiliate... publish a
blog... sell your own product... publish articles to drive
traffic... operate a membership site... or whatever you do
to make money online...

One of the most valuable things you can possess is the
knowledge of how to write excellent, profit-pulling sales
copy.

This one skill alone has impacted my own personal financial
bottom line more than ANY other skill you can name.

In a nutshell, if you know how to write great copy, you can
make *good* money on the Internet!

This fact leads us to event #2 this week...


** Event #2 - Yanik Silver's Ultimate Internet Copywriting
Secrets Call (January 13, 2005)

Yanik Silver is a friend of mine... he's also one of the
BEST copywriters in the world!

Now that's a tall statement, but Yanik knows how to put
words on paper (and on the Web) that get people to spend
money on valuable products and services.

How do I know he's this good?

Because I can personally attribute hundreds of thousands of
my own business's sales and income to Yanik's help and
advice on writing effective sales copy... yes, he's that
good and his information and coaching have helped me
directly!

So, to help YOU start writing better copy, I called in a
favor from Yanik and convinced him to do a teleconference
with me to teach you some insider secrets on quickly
creating kick-butt copy!

On this special call you'll discover:

~ 3 of the 13 most powerful psychological hot "buttons" for
making people order now and not think it over...

~ 2 of the 7 best ways to create urgency and compel people
to act now...

~ 1 of the 4 best ways to deal with price so it's not even
an issue...

~ 2 of the 9 best "PROOF" elements you can use so ultra
skeptical visitors trust you and much, much more!

Plus, Yanik will reveal the little-known copywriting
technique he used to put $43,668.73 into his pocket in 24
hours.

Go here to sign up for the call now (seating for this call
is also limited):

One more thing before we get to today's article...

Here's a question I frequently get asked by subscribers
about tele-conferences: "Why should I get on the call when
you'll be publishing it as an MP3 and I can listen to over
the Web later?"

In other words, why should I schedule the time, jump on the
phone, and pay long distance charges when I can probably
download it later?

This is a very legitimate question... with a very simple
answer.

If the topic of a tele-seminar (ANY tele-seminar) interests
you, you should schedule the time and get on the call for 4
excellent reasons:

1. It gives you a time -- an appointment -- to sit down, get
rid of distractions, and make an investment in yourself
by listening to the call and absorbing the information...

2. As far as I know, you never get an opportunity to ask an
MP3 file questions (and there are no guarantees that the
conference recording won't encounter a tech problem and
get lost forever)...

3. By jumping on the call live, you get the information
BEFORE anyone else does (which can give you a significant
advantage over your competitors)...

4. Often, time-sensitive, special BONUS offers are made on
these calls that are NOT available to those who listen to
the MP3 a week later...

So, bottom line, if you want the information someone is
making available on a conference call, take the time to sit
down and get on the call... you'll get a lot more benefit
from a "live" event than you will from a recording.

Finally, before we get to the article (which, by the way,
teaches you a couple of great techniques for dealing with
information overload), I have something I need to get off my
chest...

I'm feeling very upset about the whole tsunami tragedy and
all the devastation and problems I'm seeing on the
television (I can't bear to watch most of it).

This truly is a disaster beyond measure.

Originally I said that I would give half (1/2) the profit
from sales of my "5 Steps To Getting Anything You Want" in
January to go directly to the relief effort, but I've
changed my mind...

I've decided I'm going to give ALL the profit to the relief
effort.

That's right!

I am going to give *ALL* (not some... not part... not
half... but ALL) the profit from sales of that product in
Jan 2005 to the relief effort.

So, if you've been on the fence about ordering a copy of
my program, now's a great time to act.

I'll keep you posted on how that ends up.

So with no further ado, here's this week's article, which
by the way, if you like it, feel free to share it with your
own list, post it on your site, or add it to your
autoresponder.

To your success!

3 Ways To Cope With "Information Overload"

- by Jim Edwards

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

It's been said that the typical Sunday edition of the
New York Times newspaper contains more information than the
average person in 15th century England was exposed to
during their entire lifetime.

In the information age, our minds get bombarded daily with
so much data that we start filtering it out as a self-
defense mechanism.

On the Internet, the information overload gets so severe
that it seems to bring out the ADD (Attention Deficit
Disorder) in all of us.

To make things worse, expect the avalanche of information
we must all deal with online to start coming faster and
harder this year and to never, ever stop.

Unlimited amounts of information available online
represents a truly double-edged mental sword for all of us.

On the good side, you can find out virtually anything you
want about any person, place, thing, fact, problem and
more.

On the bad side, since you can find anything, many people
get caught up and lost in "everything"... which means they
never accomplish much.

In fact, most people end up drowning in the sea of
information when all they wanted was a simple drink of
water.

To help you effectively deal with the never-ending torrent
of online information, let me offer 3 simple solutions that
will profoundly affect your ability to get things done this
year.

First, operate with a clear purpose for what you plan to
accomplish online.

Many people start out with a vague idea of what they want
to accomplish on the Web and end up wasting hours surfing
aimlessly.

One simple solution: write down your purpose for going
online on a sticky note and put it on the side of your
monitor.

Simple purpose statements like "Check email" or "Find map
to Detroit" or "Research where to advertise my blog" can
save countless hours by reminding you of your true purpose
for sitting down at the keyboard (and keep you from
wandering off to explore Britney Spears or The Simpsons).

Next, if you do want to go off on a sidetrack away from
your original purpose, set a time limit.

Kind of like recess in kindergarten, give yourself a set
amount of time to run free, but then get back in the
classroom and get back to business at the appointed time.

Typically, I give myself anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes to
roam, but only if I think it will bear fruit for my purpose
in the end.

I also force myself to honestly answer the question,
"Does this really fit with my purpose for being online
right now?"

If not, then I goof off for about 5 minutes and then write
down the idea, website, or topic that distracted me and
leave it for future investigation.

By the way, a simple egg timer also works great for this.

Finally, if you ever find yourself online without a
purpose, but can't seem to stop surfing, searching, or
clicking the "send/receive" button on email, simply get up
from your computer and walk away for a few minutes to clear
your head.

Often this represents the fastest way to stop yourself
wasting countless hours in meaningless activity online.

Bottom line, implementing these simple strategies for
dealing with information overload online now will pay huge
dividends in peace of mind and time savings in the future.
