I created a webinar that you need to hear. And it’s happening THIS Tuesday (October 4th) at 8PM Eastern.

The webinar is called “The 3 Best ‘Newly Discovered’ Online Marketing Tactics Of *2011* . . .
That Are GUARANTEED To Skyrocket Your Profits In The Next 12 Months (And Elite
Marketers Hope You Never Discover)”

On This Webinar You’ll Find Out . . .

• The 3 best performing online marketing tactics of 2011 (most of which you’ve never heard of . . . ) and that other top-performing marketing people won’t be publicly talking about until 2015.
• The #1 best use of your advertising dollars (and a strategy that you can implement in 30 minutes or less) that has never lost me or my private clients money EVER. Note: This is an underground advertising strategy that almost no one has heard of or used.
• How to create online products that ‘sell out’ BEFORE they’re ever created (discover how to make your next product profitable long before you spend one lousy cent producing it).
• The 5 pieces of information you need before you spend any time or money building a website for your business or product (the avenue that most people take, and fail).
• The #1 best tactic for selling things in 2011 (hint: it’s not a sales letter, a sales video, or a sales phone call).
• The only way to get started: how to introduce yourself to your market, get OTHER PEOPLE to resale your products and services, and build a list in weeks.
• How to get paid to figure out exactly what kind of products and services your future customers want you to create.

Also, before you register, please know the following . . .

• We’re only allowing 500 people on the webinar. Given our past experience with webinars, I would strongly encourage you to get on the webinar at least 5 minutes early to ensure that you get a spot.

And, again, it’s happening THIS Tuesday (October 4th) at . . .

• 5PM Pacific
• 6PM Mountain
• 7PM Central
• 8PM Eastern

Last May, I started a paid Mastermind group with a small and select group of market leaders (including Jonathan Mead from Illuminated Mind, Sid Savara from SidSavara.com, Kim West a.k.a. “The Sleep Lady,” and Andy Fossett from Gold Medal Bodies . . . and many more).

We had our first event at the Bellagio in Vegas.

And it was life changing. (NOTE: Tomorrow I’ll be releasing some video footage from that first event, so you can see for yourself).

Anyway, ever since that first mastermind event, I’ve been getting lots of questions about the mastermind and when I’ll be admitting new people to the group.

So, given the interest, I’m excited to announce that . . .

This Week (For The First Time Ever) We’re Accepting 4 New People Into The Group

Here’s how it’s going to work.

• We’ll only be accepting 4 new people into the group
• We’ll be requiring both an application and a 1-on-1 interview (with me, personally) in order enter the group
• We’ll (unfortunately) need to turn away more people than we accept

Anyway, since each and every mastermind application will be reviewed by me and my business partner Tracy. . .

. . . and since I’ll personally be doing 1-on-1 hour-long interviews, this whole process will take a LOT of work on the part of our team.

So Here’s How To Apply To The Group (I.E. Here’s This Week Schedule Of Events)

***Step 1***

• On Tuesday at 1PM Pacific, I’ll be releasing a prospectus with details about the Platinum Mastermind (including dates, etc.)
• Make sure you read that prospectus.
• If you’re interested in applying to the group, then submit the application that will be made available at that time. (Although this is a paid mastermind, I will not be requiring a fee at the time of application).
• NOTE: I encourage you to submit the application ASAP, since the 4 spots will be filled on a first-come, first served basis.

***Step 2***

• After you submit your mastermind application, it will be reviewed personally by my business partner (Tracy) and me.
• Anyway, after we review the application, one of two things will happen.
• One, I’ll decide that the mastermind is not a good match and I’ll let you know politely.
• Or two, I’ll decide that this mastermind MIGHT be a good fit and someone from my office will schedule a call to determine if that’s the case.
• Nobody will pressure you or hassle you. If you want in, great. If not, no problem. We’re cool either way.

***Step 3***

• If someone from my office contacts you about scheduling a phone call between us, then we’ll talk on Wednesday or Thursday.

Anyway . . .

Tomorrow, At 1PM Pacific, I’ll Be Releasing The Application . . . Along With A Prospectus with Details About the Mastermind

If this is the kind of thing you’re interested in, then I’ll see you tomorrow (Tuesday) at 1PM, Pacific.

If it’s not for you (and it’s not for everyone) then you won’t hear much from me past tomorrow. And we’ll still be friends :-).

Talk soon,
Clay

Just a quick note that I’ve started a new project called The Marketing Show.  Click here to check it out (I think you’ll enjoy it).

UPDATE: The online marketer position has been filled, but we’re still looking for a Film Editor/Cameraperson for The Marketing Show–see below.
Hey, our team of 5 is expanding to a team of 7 (i.e. our company has two job openings available).

Instructions for applying are below.  If you’re a good match, we’d love to hear from you.

Online Marketer

Wanted: Full-time Online Marketer for an internet marketing company.

Position Description: We are a rapidly growing company that excels in the internet marketing space.  We work hard, play hard, and have only A-list people on our team.  We’re looking for a multi-talented, take charge person to handle the many facets of our marketing.

You’ll need a unique combination of skills, talents and mindset, including:

• You have strong writing skills. You must be an excellent writer, one whose writing keeps people engaged. Entertainment writing is a plus. You will occasionally be writing blog posts. It’s okay if you don’t have a lot of experience writing sales copy–you can learn that.  It’s a huge plus if you possess great sales-related writing abilities for email, websites, and banner ads.
• You’re comfortable giving our programmers direction and overseeing the development of sales pages and sales-related websites, reporting directly to the president of the company. You love to learn and are comfortable with feedback and constructive criticism.
• You must have a strong drive and be able to work without supervision.  We’ll be throwing a lot of broad ideas to you and you’ll be the one who makes it all happen.
• You’re comfortable interviewing people.
• You have a good sense of layout and graphic design. You don’t need to design the graphics, but you do need to have a good eye for what works–and what doesn’t.
• You must be consistent, meticulous in all you do, and love getting stuff done–without needing anyone to keep you on task.
• You’re able to communicate effectively and network with (and possibly cut partnership deals with) high-level executives at other companies and corporations.

While the following items are not required, they would greatly enhance your ability to fulfill all of the online marketer responsibilities:

• It would helpful if you have a background in google analytics and/or split testing and/or re-targeting/re-marketing. This isn’t required, but if you don’t have a background in these areas you must be willing to work hard and learn.
• It would be great if you know a little html and if you’ve ever set up a blog on WordPress.
• It’s a huge plus if you have any media buying experience or experience placing ads. If you’ve ever run any PPC campaigns or worked with Google Adwords, double the bonus points!
• If you have even the slightest background in statistics that would be very helpful.

Bottom line: We’ll provide you with the goals that we want to accomplish and then you’ll handle everything else, from A-Z. If you don’t have all of the qualifications listed above but you still think you’re a great fit and are highly motivated, we’d love to hear from you.

We need someone who is extraordinary in his or her ability to take the ball and run with it…and sometimes to even come up with the ball yourself!  If you need a lot of direction and supervision (or require a lot of step-by-step instructions) this isn’t the position for you.  On the other hand, if you love to go above and beyond the call of duty, are able to think outside the box, will never say “That’s not my job,” and want to work with truly creative and dynamic people, this might be a great fit. We need to be able to tell you about a project, give you a few guidelines, and turn you loose, knowing that you’ll get it done—accurately, thoroughly and on time.  You’re really smart, highly motivated, and you’re able to QA your own work…and that of others.

Final Notes:

If your dream job is really to start your own company in a few years, this is not the right position for you.  We’re looking for someone who wants to grow with us long-term–we want a “lifer!” Our company is amazing to work for.  We welcome your creativity, you’ll always be treated with respect, you’ll laugh a lot throughout the day and will get to work with a great team including the president of the company, (who likes to swear, but never at you!).

This position has great potential for growth—come on board and make yourself indispensable to us. You’ll be working from your own home or office, so your location is not important.

How to Apply: There are two things you need to do in order to apply for this position:

(1) Send an email to Tracy: Tracy@Ave81.com. In the subject line please put: Online Marketer Position. Sure, we want to see your resume, but far more important is that we need your email to tell us who you are, what you’re like, and why we’d love working with you.  Convince us you’re the online marketer that we’ve been looking for.  Your email must include:

• where you heard about this position
• why you’re the person we’ve been looking for
• your salary requirements (this is a full-time position)
• what skills you bring to the table
• a link to your YouTube video (see below)

(2) Make a video introducing yourself and telling us a little about you and what you bring to the table. Upload it to YouTube with the title of “Application for Avenue 81, Inc.” and then send us the link via email.

Film Editor/Cameraperson for The Marketing Show

Wanted: A film editor/cameraperson for a web TV show that is about marketing.  You must be local to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.  This is a part-time subcontractor position with potential for full-time.

Overview: We’re looking to have an edgy, provocative aesthetic for our new Web TV Show.  We’re very inspired by the style and aesthetic of reality TV shows and music videos.  For an early look at the beta version of our website check out www.marketingshow.com.

Position Description:

We are a rapidly growing company that excels in the internet marketing space.  We work hard, play hard, and have only A-list people on our team.  We’re looking for a take charge person who wants to produce and direct our web TV show. Each episode will be a 5-10 minute show,  3 times per week.

We’re looking for a multi-talented person who can handle the filming and editing of the show. You’ve got to have a killer skill set when it comes to post-production editing and be really creative in your editing abilities. You can handle a video camera with ease–whether it’s a talking head shot or fast motion outside, you know what you’re doing.

You’ll need a unique combination of skills, talents and mindset, including:

• You know how to produce HD quality video for the web.
• You’re good with lighting, excellent at video editing, and possess basic skills of set design.
• You can advise us on the best equipment to use.

We need someone who is extraordinary in his or her ability to take the ball and run with it. If you need a lot of direction and supervision (or require a lot of step-by-step instructions) this isn’t the position for you.  On the other hand, if you love to go above and beyond the call of duty, are able to think outside the box, and want to work with truly creative and dynamic people, this might be a great fit. We need to be able to tell you about a project, give you a few guidelines, and turn you loose, knowing that you’ll get it done—accurately, thoroughly and on time.  You’re really smart, highly motivated, and you’re able to QA your own work…and that of others.

Final Notes: If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur who is just looking to fill in with something temporary until you can have your own business, this is not the right position for you. We’re looking for someone who wants to grow with us long-term–we want a “lifer!”  Our company is amazing to work for.  We welcome your creativity, you’ll always be treated with respect, you’ll laugh a lot throughout the day and will get to work with a great team including the president of the company, (who likes to swear, but never at you!).

This position has great potential for growth—both in hours and in pay—once you prove yourself.  Come on board and make yourself indispensable to us.
