Dear Friend,

I hope you are not reading this unless you want to make a lot of money. And here’s why: My name is Craig Garber and I have just written and published a ground-breaking new book one entrepreneur is calling, "The most important money-making business book published in the last 75 years."

In fact, I am so convinced this book will create a dramatic and almost immediate surge of cash-flow in your business... I would like you to examine it absolutely risk-free, for life.

The book is called "How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers: 21 Proven Direct-Marketing Strategies ANYONE Can Use!" And it shares, in very frank terms, the exact strategies I used to make $578,648.44 in one year, with a small online list of less than 5,000 names, and without even spending one thin dime on advertising. And, all at 90% profit.

In this book, I also reveal somewhat personal and private information with you, showing you the good, the bad, and the ugly about myself. I did this because running a business isn’t just about making money. It’s about creating a life worth living.

As I say on the inside cover, it’s for "anyone who’s ever been the underdog.” In fact, if you’re the kind of person who excels when someone says, “you can’t do that”... and if striving to be the best -- especially against all odds -- is important to you... then you will love this book.

See, for quite some time now I’ve been making a lot of money as a publisher and direct-marketing consultant, and also as one of the highest paid freelance copywriters in America. But not that long ago, I was dead broke.

And actually, I wasn’t just broke... I was desperate.

My business was floundering -- going nowhere... and I could barely pay the rent on my small, crowded apartment. Not to mention paying my ex-wife... my lawyer... child support... health insurance... day care... car payments, and medical bills.

But then something happened that let me literally “toss away” my old life, and all the stress and aggravation that came along with it.

I went from barely getting by, and living week-to-week... to making over a half-million dollars a year. And I earned every single penny of this money without any kind of “joint venture” partner launches, and with only one full-time employee. And... all at 90% profit!

I left the big city and bought my dream home on a spring-fed lake filled with bass. A place where my family could create a lifetime of memories in a small, friendly citrus town, just outside of Tampa, Florida.

I ditched my "formal" office and now I work in a roomy spare bedroom with a wood-burning fireplace, on the second floor of my house. In the morning, I see brightly-colored carp swimming along the lake-shore. And I hear squirrels scampering up and down the cypress trees in my yard, chasing after hoot-owls.

As soon as they wake up, I let the dogs out back and they go racing up and down the dock, running around my boat house. In the afternoon, I often take a break and pluck a Florida orange, or a pink grapefruit, off one of the citrus trees in my yard.

But here’s the best part...

I do what I want... I work, and don’t work, with who I want... and I only work on those projects I enjoy working on. I come and go as I please. And when I first got into business ten years ago, this was my goal.

Yeah, sure, I wanted to make a lot of money. But if you're anything like me, what really gets you motivated is “being your own boss.” Not having to listen to anyone tell you what to do -- ever. In fact, I’m one of those guys who’s actually “allergic” to being told what to do.

I came up the hard way. I started working when I was fourteen and worked almost full-time while going to college. Last time I had a summer off was 1976, the year before I graduated junior high school. I bootstrapped my way through college, and that’s how I’ve pretty much done everything in my life -- on my own.

In fact, I didn’t really even have a mentor or anyone to look up to for guidance, until around 7 years ago. Fortunately for me, I’ve had several of them since then.

My point is, I’m in this for the freedom. The money’s great -- don’t get me wrong. But money buys you FREEDOM... and that means more to me, than anything.

“THIS is what FREEDOM buys me. With my family, at Yellowstone National Park.”

Freedom lets me take my daughter to school in the morning. Some afternoons, I knock off early and go bass fishing with my teenaged sons. And sometimes, my wife and I will just sit out back and do “nothing” together, over a cup of coffee. Especially in the fall when the air is crisp and the sun is warm enough to keep the chill off you, but there’s no humidity. That’s what freedom buys.

I’m not a millionaire yet, but gosh, if I live the rest of my life like this and never become a millionaire, you're not going to hear me complaining any time soon. The truth is, some months we’ve made so much money, I literally haven’t even known what to do with it all.

My mortgage will be paid off in 4 more years, and soon, there’s going to come a point in time where I really can just... “walk away from it all,” if I choose to.

Funny how things turn out sometimes, isn’t it?

But things weren’t always this way -- not by a long-shot. In fact, for most of my life, the outlook was pretty bleak and miserable.

I grew up in a crowded housing project in the Bronx. A place where people and their problems constantly rub up against one another, like rotting shingles pressed together on an old, worn down roof. Nothing but concrete and traffic for the first 26 years of my life.

And I’m the least likely guy to succeed based on my upbringing. My parents were blue-collar workers with no college education and if I tell you my home life was “difficult,” rest assured I’m being conservative. (I get into this more, inside “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers”)

I somehow managed to escape from there, but once I was out on my own... without any direction, I floundered and had nothing, for years.

I’m telling you all this because while most people will be quick to tell you, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know,” the greatest lesson I’ve learned after 20 years I sales, and ten years in direct-response marketing, is that this is completely wrong.

The truth is, when it comes to marketing,
what you know is FAR more important than who you know.

And what you don’t know, costs you more than any line item expense number that shows up on your financial statements.

By the time I filed bankruptcy back in 1997, I was so burned out and depressed, I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown.

But then, after years of nothing but bad breaks, and making one wrong decision after another, a few things started to go my way and my life slowly began turning around. For the first time ever, I began seeing a light at the end of my very l-o-o-n-g tunnel.

My personal life finally started coming together. Instead of constantly having to handle things in “survival mode,” and running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off... I had an opportunity to sit back and think, with a clear mind, about what I really wanted to do.

And what I wanted to do was, create a publishing company that revolved around emotional direct-response marketing and copywriting. And I wanted to be one of “the best” out there, whatever that means.

In the beginning, it wasn’t easy, but it seemed I had a “knack” for this kind of work. I’d been in sales for years, plus I had spent a lot of time thinking about how people do things and why they do things. Originally, I thought about these things just to get through my daily grind as a kid growing up in a very stressful household environment...

But in the end, understanding human behavior...
actually turned out to be my biggest asset!

Go figure, right?

So I began setting up shop and getting my name out there. I started generating leads and getting clients. And clients and peers seemed to gravitate to me. I guess they liked my energy and enthusiasm, and it didn’t hurt that I started creating and writing some great promotions and giving out excellent advice, that worked like a charm.

Everyone said to me, “Hey, go and get involved with so-and-so. They can really help you.” And things like, “Once you’re in with this guy... he’ll help you and your list will grow and so will your business.”

But that’s just not my deal. See, I know there’s no free lunch in life, and even more so when it comes to business. I wasn’t interested in being someone’s “right hand man.” After all the stuff I’d been through in my personal life, I figured, if I could survive that, then I’d figure out how to make things work on my own. When you've always been told what to do, you have something yearning inside you, that says, "I want to be successful on my own terms, not on someone else's."

Make sense?

And so, unlike lots of people who look for “who you know” short-cuts, I decided to differentiate myself another way. I wanted to build a solid reputation on my own, and I based it around these 3 things:

1. Providing great content. As you’ll see inside “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers,” the entire premise of successful lead generation (getting highly qualified leads who want what you have to offer, and who can afford to pay you) is based on giving your prospects quality content. Educate your consumers and give them enough information and advice so they can make good buying decisions... and help them get better at whatever it is they want from you... and they will love you and buy from you, for a VERY long time!
   

So that’s what I focus on -- content. I consistently offer top-quality content, in whatever I do. In fact, inside my manual I have several chapters devoted to explaining exactly how to do this in your business, on a consistent basis -- regardless of what kind of business you have and what industry you’re in. I also show you the three biggest mistakes people make when they do this, and... how to offer content without being boring.

Because the truth is, whether you're selling marketing information... or industrial turbines... or anything in the middle, your prospects can only take "so much" information. Besides being an expert in your field, you also have to know how to keep people entertained and engaged in conversation. And this is covered in detail throughout the book and in seveal chapters as a standalone item (specifically Chapters six through ten).

And how’s this worked out for me?

In a nutshell... Incredible! For example, my offline newsletter, Seductive Selling®, has a ridiculously high "stick" rate (how long your customers stick around). While most vendors have a stick rate that hovers in the 2 to 3 month range at best, our average customer stays with us for 8 - 9 months, conservatively. Many have been with me since day one -- that’s almost four years now!

And, between 85 and 90% of our customers continue with us after their first month, while industry standards are in the 30% range. More than 50% of these customers then go on to either purchase more products from me or join one of my consulting programs, or they become private consulting or copywriting clients.

Please don’t take this as me saying this is “easy.” If you think making a half-million dollars is as easy as falling off a log, then you’ve been reading too many ads in the opportunity magazines. However, there is a systematic way of doing this, which I reveal and make completely transparent for you, inside “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers”

2. I give you your money's worth, and then some. Here’s what I mean by this: over the last ten years, I’ve invested tens of thousands of dollars on consulting in various forms, and on my own education. More so in the early years, less today. And while much of this money has been spent wisely, frankly... some of it has not. I’ve been taken advantage of, just like you have, and I’ve made good buying decisions as well.

The truth is, it's disappointing when someone makes you a promise and they don't deliver on it. It’s a sickening feeling investing your hard-earned money into something, only to find out you’ve been set up for the next sale. And that the real advice, or information you wanted, can only come at a higher price point on your next purchase.

I hate that, and so do my clients, customers and newsletter members. So I approach things differently. I approach everything I do with the mindset of, “Unless I over deliver on what I'm doing for you right NOW, you might not stick around.”

You see, people aren’t stupid. Your customers are STARVING for fresh new ideas, good products, and great service. And when you give this to them, they’ll buy from you over-and-over again, simply because you did what you said you were going to do. When you give people what they pay for, you don't have to use things like trickery to make a sale.

And you know what?

People LOVE this!
And that’s why they stay with me for so long.

Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but to me, that’s just the right thing to do. So I go out of my way to “WOW” my customers on a regular basis. And the numbers don’t lie, so I must be doing something right.

3. Lastly, I keep things REAL. One of the things I hated about working in big companies was all the politics that goes on. I’ll be the first one to admit, I’m not good at making small talk, but get me alone or in a small group, and you’ll have one of the most meaningful, funny, and relaxing conversations you’ve had in a long while. And frankly, since it’s taken me a long time and because I've paid a lot of dues to actually get to the point where I enjoy my own company... when I share information, I share it from my heart. When I give out advice, I tell you what’s really going on -- both in business and in my life. Not what I think you want to hear, and not what the politically correct thing to say, might be.

I’m not some “guru” who pretends everything in my life is perfect and everything I touch turns to gold.

Why?

Because that’s not reality!

I have my own share of projects I work on that don’t turn out the way I wanted, just like you do. My kids drive me nuts just like your kids... my dogs tear up my house just like your dogs... and although no one could love their wife the way I love mine, reality is... sometimes we DO fight like cats and dogs (mostly over the kids and the dogs, by the way). Again, I share much of this inside “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers,” because balancing your business and personal life is as much of a challenge as anything else we do.

And while I’m not perfect at it, I’ve got my life set up so I use my time VERY wisely. Because as you already know, you can always make more money, but time is the one thing you can’t ever make ANY more of.

Mind you, these are the traits or qualities I’m known for, and this is how I built my business reputation. Doesn’t mean you have to do the same things in your business. That’s the nice thing about the strategies inside this manual. You can apply them to any business, anywhere... the way YOU want to.

After all, isn’t that how your business should be? Isn’t that why you went into business in the first place?

To me, in the end... when it comes to business, all you really have is your reputation. So why not make it a good one?

I guess what I’m saying is, what I’ve done isn’t magic. I’m not pulling rabbits out of a hat, and a beautiful blonde isn’t disappearing behind the curtains. I had no formal training, outside of what I learned in books. The price of my tuition was the cost of the mistakes I made out there on the business battlefield.

All I did was use a specific set of proven strategies, that I’ve spent the last ten years field-testing and refining to almost perfection. To the point where, now my results are quite consistent and predictable.

Fortunately, “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers” lets you avoid all the mistakes I made. You get to quickly identify and find all the money you’re losing right NOW, without overlooking the obvious.

And by the way, if providing great content, giving your customers value, and keeping things real is appealing to you, then keep listening, because that means you and I are going to get along great. And it also means “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers,” may be the single most valuable business investment you ever make in your entire life.

Now let’s talk about the content of this manual. First of all, appreciate that you don’t need all 21 of these strategies to make a LOT of money -- not by a long-shot. In fact, using just one or two of them creates an immediate surge of cash, especially if you get on them right away. And if you use one or two of them consistently, every month... I promise you, the next 12 to 18 months of your life will be the most financially productive time you’ve ever enjoyed.

In fact, we’ve received many comments about this manual and the impact it’s had on people. The following two are unusual because they come from two people at opposite ends of the spectrum. One, a relative "newbie" to business, and the other, a very successful and seasoned veteran. Listen to what they have to say:

And these comments are from a man who’s been involved in direct-marketing for over 37 years, as a successful publisher and health care products distributor. During this time he’s sold in excess of $300 Million worth of goods and services around the world, primarily in Europe. I first met Christian Godefroy when he became a customer of mine.

Little did he know I was familiar with his own ads and marketing strategies. I learned from him when I was coming up in this business. So it was very humbling for me to find out, years later after I was up and running, that he was studying my material, the same way I’d studied his! Here’s what Christian had to say:

I also want you to know I didn’t cherry-pick these testimonials. You’ll see as we go on, all the testimonials we have on file are very sincere and straight-forward, just like these. No hypey nonsense or anything else like that.

Let me also tell you the strategies and secrets in “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers” are effective both online and offline. And, I give you liberal examples of both, throughout the text.

In my business, for instance, the lion’s share of communication with my prospects takes place online. But my goods and services are delivered both online and offline.

Your own mileage may vary on this. The thing is, how you deliver your goods or services isn't an issue. The strategy you use, however, is critically important. And that’s what this manual gives you -- incredibly effective selling and direct-marketing strategies you can use in any industry, using any kind of media you want.

Oh, and if you’re concerned about my numbers, don’t be. In an early chapter called, “The Proof Is In The Pudding,” I show you snapshots of my shopping cart sales, list size, and everything else you need, so you can see I'm not making any of these claims up.

How Is This Manual Set Up?

Good question. The manual is divided into three sections: The first section, “What To Do,” covers the nuts and bolts of the actual short-cuts and strategies themselves. This section starts on page 31 and runs all the way through page 222. Here’s just a small sampling of what you’ll find inside:

• In Strategy #3, I waste no time in revealing what has proven to be the single greatest secret for making money in ANY business.
  
  How powerful is this secret?
  
  Quite simply, it allows you to make what’s probably the best ongoing, predictable, and long-term source of income in the world. And since it has almost ZERO downside risk, anyone can implement this, right away.
  
  
• On page 31, you’ll uncover the filter for success and why some people have a hard time squeezing through it. You’ll also discover “where” the money is, and... how to find it!
  
  
• Uncover “the most profitable product in the world you can ever sell,” and... how to make a HUGE net income with it! And the nice thing about this is, there are loads of examples showing you how to use this strategy, regardless of what industry or type of business you’re in, right now.
  
  
• How to publish information as a core business, or... as a way to dramatically improve your sales of hard goods and personal services! Pay very close attention here, because subtle differences in how you use this information will create dramatic surges in cash-flow for you.
  
  
• 8 questions to ask your prospects to find out what kind of products they want to buy from you! (on page 40)
  
  
• On page 43, you’ll discover how a local 26 year-old whiz kid used my “secret weapon” to generate over $100,000 in sales in just 12 months! You’ll also see how to use this secret weapon to build enthusiasm... create relationships... convert prospects into paying customers... and convert paying customers into even long-term paying customers! If you read nothing else, read this!
  
  
• When is offline marketing FAR more effective than online marketing? I’ll show you on page 47.
  
  
• How to create continuous streams of monthly income - no matter what business you’re in! This is the fastest and easiest way of creating financial stability and bringing predictability to your business... and therefore to your life!
  
  
• In Strategy #5, you’ll discover why most ads (and most marketing) fails. And while this has a LOT to do with the ad itself... you’ll be shocked to discover it has more to do with who you’re speaking to, than anything else!
  
  
• On page 65, I’ll reveal how to get your “foot” in the door, and... how to keep these doors open! This one simple, yet incredibly profound statement, seriously changes your approach to marketing. In fact, you’re likely to begin a complete overhaul of your business, immediately after reading this!
  
  
• How to use “Free Reports” to generate an avalanche of leads. You’ll get the inside scoop on a live sample of an incredibly effective “two-step” ad on page 66. (You’d also normally have to pay me a small fortune to write an ad like this!)
  
  
• Discover the REAL secret behind all great business relationships! This 14-word parable is so old-fashioned it might sound corny, but use it... and you'll wind up laughing all the way to the bank! And, your prospects will convert to customers, faster than you can say “Hello Dolly!” (As a side note, this strategy also completely differentiates you from your competition.)
  
  
• Want to know why people unsubscribe from your list? No problem, I’ll give you the 8 Reasons why people unsubscribe from your list (on pages 72 and 73), including one (#8) that’ll blow your mind!
  
  
• Most people think e-mail is great because it’s free, but if this is the way you think, you’re overlooking the obvious. The greatest thing about e-mail is that it lets you establish UNSHAKABLE trust and rapport with your prospects and your customers. However, few people have the foggiest notion of the right way to establish this level of trust. In Strategy #7, I’ll cover e-mail from soup to nuts and this will revolutionize the way you do business, and the strength of your relationships with your list. (Make sure you pay VERY close attention to the sentence in bold on page 75. It reveals critical marketing psychology literally anyone can easily use.)
  
  
• At the bottom of page 93 I explode a marketing “time bomb!” More people have expressed gratitude over this one specific concept, than anything else I’ve ever said. If you’ve ever felt “frustrated” or anxious about speaking to your customers or to your list of prospects, online or offline... then you MUST read this!
  
  
• Discover how much... and how often... you should be e-mailing your list. And... find out what you should never ever say to them!
  
  
• I’ll give you 17 resources you can use to generate compelling and ongoing content for your blog, e-mail, or any other kind of communication. And each of these resources can be systematically set up, literally within a few minutes.

O.K., let’s pause here for just a minute here and take a short “breather.” I think you’re starting to see, even if you only put one or two of these strategies in place... their impact on your sales and on your cash-flow will be... HUGE!

And that's because once your marketing is doing all the “heavy lifting” for you, your business -- and your life -- becomes much easier, and far more rewarding on many different levels.

Make sense?

Good. Now before we go on, let me teach you something very important. Regardless of what you do for a living, understand that while people may initially come to you for information or guidance on one particular issue, they will STAY with you over the long-term, because of your ability to entertain them. I don’t care what topic you’re an expert on, reality is, people can only handle “so much” information about marketing, puppies, juggling, or whatever. You simply have to be able to put a smile across people’s face on a consistent basis, if you want to have any kind of long-term retention.

That’s why, in Strategy #8, you’ll get the behind the scenes secrets about:

• How to entertain your list! And don’t worry, this doesn’t involve putting on a red nose and a Bozo the Clown suit. This is very practical and natural. You’ll find out what to say... and, what you can talk about "besides" your primary business topics. This way, you'll be able to engage and entertain your prospects, instead of boring them.
  
  
• And on page 109, you’ll find out the big difference between “positioning,” and being an arrogant you know what! There’s a fine line between the two -- but pay close attention here, because you do NOT want to cross it... or else! You'll also discover:

• 5 handy resources you can use, to come up with compelling stories about yourself, which you can share and entertain your list with. Nothing will create a better relationship with your prospects, than you sharing personal stories -- and these five resources make this much easier for you to do.
  
  
• 3 Ways your prospects process information: discover which one of them is most important, based on who you’re speaking to. The old adage, “How you say things is as important as what you’re saying,” is very true. At last, discover how to use this to your advantage.
  
  
• Strategy #10, which has been extremely popular, covers “How To Become Number One In Your Industry.” This reveals the secrets behind, what for some people, is the most challenging part of marketing: positioning yourself at the top. You’ll discover exactly what positioning is, why it’s so critical, and... the fine art of making yourself “scarce.” This might be the most important thing you can do for yourself... for your family... and believe it or not, for your customers and clients.
  
  
• On page 136, you’ll find out how to “create” demand for yourself. This is simple, once you understand human nature and how it works in your best interests, if... you’re smart.
  
  
• How to STOP being a slave to your business... and to your clients and customers! This is what gives you ultimate freedom, but... only if you have the COURAGE... to take it.
  
  
• You’ll also find multiple examples of sales copy that shows you how to create scarcity in your ads, and...
  
  
• You’ll learn the secret of how to “discipline” your clients! Don’t worry, this isn’t about being rude or mean, at all. It’s about learning how to set healthy boundaries that let you run your business the way YOU want to run it.
  
  
• How to use guarantees, price points, and your own personal “differential,” to pre-qualify your clients! If you’re sick and tired of wasting your time with looky-loos and tire-kickers, then this is the most exciting and important information you will ever read!

And let me tell you something critical:

As far as wasting time with tire-kickers -- whether you have a small list like I did, or even if you have a big giant list, time is money, and life is way too short for headaches. The LAST thing you need is to be wasting time with wishy-washy people who can’t make decisions, and who probably shouldn’t even be on your list in the first place.

You need to be able to filter these people out before they get to you and commit the Cardinal Sin of wasting your time. You want to be dealing with prospects who already like you... who want to do business with you... and who can afford to pay you.

And you don’t want to waste your time “convincing” people to buy. You need to find the ones who are ready to buy and then simply attract them to you. This is an important and recurring theme inside “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers.”

And by the time you're finished with this program, you will never have to waste your time with unqualified customers and prospects, or do anything you don’t want to do, ever again. You'll know precisely how to attract the people you want to do business with, and how to repel the ones you want to stay away from.

Does that sound good?

Great, now let’s move on with the rest of what’s inside...

• In Strategy #11, I’ll uncover the 3 most critical and costly selling mistakes people make, and how to fix them, immediately! And... you’ll also discover why conventional advertising simply can’t ever work.
  
  
• In my e-mails I am selling something almost every day. There is one reason, and one reason ONLY, why my list lets me get away with this. Find out what that is, on page 154!
  
  
• One of the simplest, yet most often ignored ways of making a LOT more money, is by increasing the value of each customer transaction. On pages 160 through 164, I will show you the basis for doing this, and why a HUGE majority of your customers will gladly pay you MORE money if you let them. (As much as 98.4% of them, in one case!) Even if you only increase your sales by one-tenth of these results, that’s still a lot of money you’re otherwise leaving on the table right now, isn’t it?
  
  
• The secret to “upselling” and how to use it to make yourself a King’s ransom! (This one’s a LOT easier than you think, and on page 172 - 174 you’ll get the six “Cardinal Rules” of upselling!)
  
  
• One thing I’ve learned is... the first sale in business, is very much like the first kiss in romance -- it’s just the beginning! You’ll learn how to make these important first sales, and how I would have made a $135,904 mistake had I not used this strategy myself!
  
  
• In Strategy #15, you’ll discover how I turned a small failure... into a small fortune! And... how you can do this exact same thing in your business... or better!
  
  
• On page 191 you’ll find out the truth about where all your money is really made and the somewhat ugly truth about where all your wisdom comes from. There’s one primary reason why I’ve done so well, and it has absolutely nothing to do with any personal skills or "talent." If all you do is repeat this, you’ll have a LOT more control over your income, and over your destiny!
  
  
• I have been embarrassed in business on more than one occasion! I’ll share one of these stories with you, starting on page 191. And I'll also show you how I took that embarrassment, added some righteous indignation... and created a HUGE (over six figures) second income for myself as a result of it! This is a terriffic example of something only a few marketers are good at: turning a weakness into a strength. Understand how to do this, and you will profit from it for a long, long time to come.
  
  
• On pages 219-220 you’ll get what one client of mine - a man who’s been in direct-marketing for over 35 years, and one of the first people to ever sell real estate by direct-mail, calls... “the best ad he’s ever seen!”
  

See, when you remove the burden of “selling” off your shoulders, and your marketing starts doing all the selling for you, business gets a LOT easier. You wind up wasting a lot less time... you deal with better quality customers and clients... and you can finally start relaxing.

You also begin living a more fulfilling and more care-free lifestyle, because your business no longer “owns” you or runs your life. You begin running your business, and your life, the way you want to. And the pressure and aggravation you normally have to deal with on a day-to-day basis, finally becomes a non-issue for you.

Which is the way things should be, right?

That’s because your business is no longer so dependent on you to make it work. Instead of you being the sole engine that has to constantly produce all the energy that makes your business run, your marketing becomes the new engine. And all you need to do is turn the key to the engine, and get things moving -- whenever and in whatever direction you want.

Now let’s talk about the second section of the book. Section Two is called “How To Think.” But don’t worry, I’m not going to sit here and tell you, or even imply you can “Think” your way to success. I’ll tell you right now, no one ever “thought” about becoming successful, more than I did. But reality is, you can’t “think” your way to becoming successful or to making more money, any more than you can “think” those few extra pounds off your belly.

However, there is a certain mindset you need, and certain realities you’re going to have to face, that come with owning or operating a successful business. And that’s what’s inside this section, which runs from page 223 through page 273. Here are just a few of the things you can look forward to:

• You’ll find out the most profitable investment you can ever make. I have relied on the fruits of this investment and it has been literally 100% responsible for the success I am experiencing today. This investment is so powerful I have been telling my children about it for as long as I can remember, and once you see the results of it, you’ll no doubt be doing the same thing.
  
  
• Nowadays, especially with the continuing growth of the internet, there are so many people out there giving advice, it’s sometimes hard to know who to trust, and... who you should run from! So on pages 225 through 229, you’ll get 11 different ways to figure out who you should (and shouldn’t) be taking advice from, and what to base your decisions on. Making even one mistake here can set you back not only thousands of dollars, but even more important -- years of time!
  
  
• In Strategy #17 you’ll find out the simple secret to making money... really fast! I’ll share a few heartfelt stories with you, along with the formula you need... to get where you want to go, as fast as possible!
  
  
• As I said earlier, some of the projects I work on don’t pan out. And although people don’t like to talk about this, setbacks are a normal part of being an entrepreneur. But failing at something isn’t a problem -- it’s how you react to that failure that’ll make you or break you. I’ll share ELEVEN different things I did, that didn’t work, and I’ll tell you the fastest way to bounce back from mistakes like this.
  
  
• One of the most meaningful stories I ever heard, was told to me by a postal worker who was getting ready to retire. We met in the waiting room in a local hospital and what he said, will stick with me forever. And in Strategy #20, I’ll share this special story with you. It is a lesson you'll remember for as long as you live.
  
  
• While I’m no spring chicken, I’m in great shape and I have more energy than most people half my age. To the point where people constantly tell me they were initially attracted to me simply because of my energy level and enthusiasm. And rest assured, I’m not like this because of good genetics. I was an overweight child who wore “husky” clothing, and that didn’t change until I was in my early 20’s. I do have a specific formula I follow, for good health and great energy, however... and I’ve been it this for years now. This formula allows me to have endless motivation and child-like curiosity about darn-near everything! And on page 258 and 259, I will reveal it to you.
  
  
• I will tell you right now that success is NOT for the weak and timid! I’ll share a few stories with you that’ll put things into perspective, so you can decide -- honestly -- if you’ve really got what it takes... or not.
  
  
• There is one personality trait (that can easily be learned) which has been scientifically proven to determine your likelihood of success, more than anything else. In “The Mother Of All Your Success,” you’ll find out what this trait is, and you’ll learn how to acquire this habit.
  

And lastly, Section 3, “What To Say” covers how to write effective sales copy, and how to put together successful sales letters and display ads that work. (And by “work,” I mean generate leads and make you money!) For most people, whether marketing online or offline, since the printed word is going to be your primary means of communication, this section covers selling in print, in detail. It runs from page 274 through page 326, and here’s what you can look forward to:

• In this Section, I will take you by the hand and walk you through the twelve sections of a sales letter and give you over 55 different examples of sales copy to model your own sales letters from. I’ll also reveal...
  
  
• How to write... and maybe even more important -- how not to write, if you want people to pay attention, and respond to what you’re saying! You’ll also discover one of the biggest problems people have, when it comes to relationships -- especially business relationships -- and how this consistently weakens your copy.
  
  
• You’ll get 12 different examples of how people normally say common phrases, and why they’re ineffective... along with the right way to say each one of them! Remember, there’s a time to use 5-dollar words... and... there’s a time NOT to!
  
  
• 3 Rules to follow, to make sure you’re not turning on your prospect’s “someone’s trying to sell me something” alarm: This is one bell you don't ever want to ring!
  
  
• You’ll learn the right way... and the wrong way... to tell stories that compel your prospects to take action... NOW! Along with a few examples of stories to model from.
  
  
• When it comes to sales, you’d better remember that nothing gets bought unless it gets sold first. And yet, few ads make any offer, let alone make the right kind of offer. You’ll get four solid examples of the kinds of offers you can make, and how to adapt them to your business. These particular examples come from the service business... a restaurant... financial services... and a retail store setting!
  
  
• We’ll cover money-back guarantees from head-to-toe, and I’ll dispel the two biggest “myths” out there about guarantees: One, that if you give a guarantee, people will rip you off... and two, if you offer a guarantee you’ll lose money. You will never look at a guarantee the same way again, after this. And... you’ll make a lot more money because of it! (I’ll even walk you through the numbers, step-by-step, so you can see for yourself!)
  
  
• You’ll find out what to do when you’re in the kind of business where you simply can’t guarantee results. Contrary to what most people think, there are still loads of other things you can...and should be... guaranteeing. And you’ll discover them all in this Chapter!
  
  
• You’ll get 7 different examples of fill in the blank “headline formulas” to use... and 9 examples of headline strategies that work like a charm!
  
  
• I’m even going to give you the secret formula for creating attention getting headlines, that’s PROVEN to put money in the bank since the dawning of direct-response marketing! (I first revealed this at my $5,000 Ad Writing workshop!)
  
  
• After your headline, the most important part of your sales letter is your opening -- this is even MORE important in print, than opening a conversation in person, since there’s no “body language” to rely on, in print. You’ll uncover three different ways to engage someone right away, so they’re motivated and compelled to listen to what you have to say.
  
  
• I’ll also let the cat out of the bag and tell you:
  
  
  • How to build real credibility! No matter how good your copy and your strategy are, if no one believes what you’re saying, it's all wasted.
    
    
  • How to introduce your product or service... without feeling “awkward” about it!
    
    
  • How to create mouth-watering bullets that are BURSTING with benefits your prospects can’t resist!
    
    
  • 2 different ways to “pre-qualify” your prospects ahead of time so you don’t wind up selling the wrong things to the wrong people! (And so you don’t have to deal with cheapskates looking for “good deals” at your expense!)
    
    
  • How to “eliminate” your competition and the myth surrounding this!
    
    
  • How to “close” your sales letter: the three most critical and costly problems people have with “closing,” and... how to overcome them!
    
    
  • And... you’ll find out why the “P.S.” is such an important part of your letter or ad. You’ll also get 14 different examples of P.S.’s that work like gangbusters! And I’ll also reveal the little-known psychology behind writing good P.S.’s and how (on page 316) the wrong P.S. literally destroys everything you’ve worked for, up until that point! I even cover "how many" P.S. endings you should use, and why.
    
    
• You’ll find out how to get other people to bring you business, and... “Why Men Crack!” And... much much more.
  
  

As you can see, “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers” isn’t an “ordinary” book. At 360 8 ½ x 11” pages long, this is one of the most ground-breaking money-making manuals ever released.

But don’t believe me. Instead, listen to what these people have to say about it. These folks aren’t any different than you are. They’re independent entrepreneurs, located all over the world in loads of different industries... and each one of them has their own particular Achilles heels they have to deal with:

A Money Tree, In Your Own Back-Yard?

Before I tell you how to get your hands on this manual, and on all the bonus gifts that come with it, let me share an interesting fact with you.

If you walked into the library at Harvard University when it was started in 1638, you could read literally every single one of the books on the shelves there -- all 400 of them. In fact, if all you did was read one book a week, you’d read 50 books a year, and you’d have the whole thing finished in 8 years flat.

Today, there are over 16.1 million books in Harvard’s 70 libraries!

But of course, the world is different today in more ways than any of us can really understand. For example, it used to be, when you wanted to speak to one of your family members who lived out of state, you’d pre-arrange a time to call one another. Usually, late at night or on the weekends, when the long-distance rates were low. And if you called and they weren’t home -- no one would even know.

Today, you can pick up your cell phone and call anyone, anywhere you want, and they’ll know you're calling, before they even pick up the phone! You can instantly text someone who’s on their way to dinner, while you’re watching a movie in your living room. And then you can whip out your iPhone and have it pinpoint their exact location within a half-mile!

Today, you turn on your television and BAM! You can choose from literally hundreds -- if not thousands of channels on cable, satellite, and hundreds of other independent networks. And that old transistor radio you used to cling to as you fell asleep at night, has gone the way of the horse and buggy! Internet radio lets you listen to anything from Scandinavian “fuzz rock” piped in directly from Sweden... to conservative talk radio coming at you from the heartland of America -- 24 hours a day, non-stop!

Oh, and every time you blink... you get another e-mail!

This is no longer our parent’s world we’re living in. Today, we are living in a world filled with uncertainties. 50 years ago, and maybe even 25 years ago, you could get ahead by working harder than the next guy. Show up, bust your butt, do what you’re supposed to do... and the money would come rolling in, as sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. But nowadays, working hard isn’t nearly enough.

Today, you’ve got to be working hard, just to make ends meet! You not only have to out work your competition, but if you want to stick around and have the chance at getting everything you deserve, you’d also better be able to out-smart them as well.

The bottom line is, if you want to increase, with absolute certainty, your cash flow and your net income, today... and if you want to take complete control over your business and dramatically improve the quality of your life as well... and if you're ready to stop merely “surviving” or “getting by,” the strategies inside “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers” aren’t optional for you any more. They’re mandatory, just the same way “eating” is mandatory if you want to stay alive.

Inside: What Every Entrepreneur
Should Know About Making Money

Look, let’s face it, if I packaged this information up in a 3-ring binder, or if I sold it as a monthly business-building course, this program would easily justify its value at a $1,497 - $1,997 price tag, just for starters. Heck, I can sell the manual alone for $997!

After all, how much is it worth to you, to get ten years of field-tested strategies that have literally been responsible for millions and millions of dollars in sales, condensed into one place and packaged in an easy-to-read, easy to use manual... that comes with a LIFETIME GUARANTEE?!

But don’t worry -- I’m not going to charge $997 for this package. In fact, I’m not even going to charge half that much. I’m going to practically “give” this away for less money than it costs to buy even a halfway decent pair of Nike’s. For a limited time only, you can get your hands on this entire “Maximum Money Bonus Package,” which includes the manual itself... the special edition of Seductive Selling... 3 Audio CDs and 3 DVDs, for only $97 plus shipping and handling, or 2 EZ installments of $49.95 each! You’re getting:

That's right, all yours for only $97 or 2 EZ installments of $49.95 each, shipped out by U.S. First Class Priority Mail. And no, you’re not hearing things and there are no tricks or small print involved. No surprises in the shopping cart or anything else misleading.

Why am I practically giving this away?

The answer is simple. The truth is, once people get their hands on my information, they tend to buy a LOT more of it. They subscribe to my Seductive Selling offline newsletter... they buy my marketing systems... and they hire me for consulting or join my coaching and Mastermind groups, or they hire me to write copy. This is simply my way of introducing myself to as many people out there, as possible.

This manual, along with the rest of the items in this package, is my "silent salesman." It does a far better job of selling me, than anything else possibly could. After reading this manual, you'll feel like you "know" me even better than people you've been doing business with, for years.

Before we wrap up, I want you to know something important: Running a business is like taking care of your health in many ways. Most people just keep plodding along, keeping their fingers crossed and “hoping” nothing bad happens. However, “hope” isn’t a very good strategy when it comes to taking care of your health, and it’s an absolutely horrible strategy when it comes to running your business.

No one ever “hoped” their way to the top, I can assure you. When it comes to business, you can either hope for the best, or you can seek out the best advice you possibly can, and then use it to get you anywhere you want to go. And that’s what this program gives you.

And let me be candid. There are loads of people out there who are making a hell of a lot more money than I am. But as far as I know, no one’s even made anything CLOSE to this much money with such a small list. See, list size doesn't matter when you have access to the strategies inside this manual. And managing a small base of customers is also a heck of a lot easier than having to deal with and manage hoards of people.

What these strategies allow you to do, is comparable to a one-legged man running a marathon and placing in the top ten -- twice!

“When riches begin to come... they come quickly”

About 8 years ago, I read Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. There’s a passage in there, where Hill says, “When riches begin to come, they come so quickly and in such great abundance, that one wonders where they’ve been hiding during all those lean years.”

When I first read that, I didn’t think it was true. I couldn’t ever imagine myself living any way, other than week-to-week. It was like imagining what it would be like to land on Mars, or to be 6-foot 5-inches tall (I’m 5’9”) -- it just didn’t seem real to me.

But today, I look at things differently. I have far more freedom than I ever imagined, and I have traveled all over the world to so many beautiful places, and met so many wonderful people since I first read Hill’s classic book.

I’m living proof, that when you possess a slight edge... even the little guy can still win BIG, today. “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers” gives you these slight edges you need. It takes you by the hand and walks you through each one of them, step-by-step. It lets you experience these same things in your business, and in your life.

So... fast-forward the clock to today. How does it feel to be free from money worries? How does it feel to have the “debt monkey” off your back? How does it feel to have, within reason, “everything” you want?

I’ll answer these questions by saying this. Ten years ago, I dreamt of a time when I had enough money simply to pay my bills on time, every month. To not have to look at prices on the menu when we ordered food. To know I could afford to buy everyone Christmas presents without feeling that lump in the back of my throat whenever I thought about it or walked through the mall or saw the ads in the Sunday newspaper.

Indeed, that seemed to be the limit of my possibilities. Because I was an average guy, without wealthy friends, without money and with no one to look up to... that’s all I felt I was worth.

With nothing to begin with, I have, however, from these
humble beginnings... become the sole owner of multiple businesses
that have paid me quite literally, millions and millions of dollars
during these past ten years.

During this time, the entire “theme” of my life has changed, dramatically. Instead of living in a small cramped apartment in the city, soiled with dirty carpets and office papers strewn all over the place... we live in a beautiful lake-side home in a small quiet citrus town.

We barbecue on weekends, swim, and relax on the hammock.

There are three cars parked in my driveway. My children go bass-fishing and tubing, and jump in the lake after school -- a lifetime away from what I did as a kid growing up in the projects.

We have our good health, and we have everything else we might want for. Instead of dreaming about merely “paying my monthly bills,” I now dream about making millions and about taking far-away vacations to exotic places.

And what brought about this remarkable change? What transformed me from a blue-collar “average Joe” to a decisive, clever, determined entrepreneur?

It was a voice inside that kept whispering to me, over and over again, “You can do better than this.”

And then, one morning I woke up and looked at myself in the mirror and I didn’t like what I saw. The pain of ignoring that whisper finally became greater than the fear of listening to it. That’s it, plain and simple.

I wish I could tell you some sort of grandiose story about a pilgrimage to some far away place... or a reunion with a long-lost relative that inspired me, but if I said that, I’d be lying. The truth is, I just got sick and tired of being sick and tired. So I began this incredibly exciting journey... and “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers” is the end-product of it, yours for the taking.

And for a mere $97 bucks, this is the greatest single investment with the highest return potential...
you will ever make.

The truth is, I still live modestly. I drive a Jeep Wrangler and I wear jeans. So money hasn’t really “changed me” per se. But what earning over $11,000 a week does, is... it makes you feel secure against want. It gives you the money to buy whatever you need, to support your family and take care of them properly. It gives your the opportunity to take a chance on an investment here and there... without having to worry about “Am I putting all my eggs in one basket?”

And it has made me healthier... more contented, and keener-minded. Sharper... and yet, more peaceful inside. Because now my time has much more value, and so I am forced to think very clearly about how I want to invest it. It is the greatest recipe I know for happiness.

Won’t you join me?

Are You Too Busy Working To Earn Any REAL Money?

Let me prove to you that your business, and your life, can be a lot more rewarding than it is now. I’m not even asking you to believe me. All I’m asking you to do is to “just try it.”

If I’m, wrong, you’ve lost absolutely nothing.

But if I’m right and you ignore this message, what a shame.

My bet is, you’re going to “sense” you’re on to something special, before you even get into the Strategies themselves. If you’re like most people, the Foreword and Dedication alone are going to create sudden and dramatic “shifts” in your thinking that make you realize the way you’ve been running your business and communicating with your prospects... and frankly, the way you’ve been treating yourself and the way you’ve been a slave to your business-master, is all wrong.

Look, if you’re still with me at this point, then it means I’ve struck a nerve or stirred something deep inside of you, and rightly so. Because the information inside this package has done so much for me and for my family... and for so many other entrepreneurs and their families -- enhancing all our lives in so many wonderful ways.

As soon as you rip open your package and start digging in, you’ll instantly know you’ve made the right decision. Everything will be right there in front of you and ready to go.

So obey that urge you’re feeling inside -- because it is the right thing to do. Order now, and your “Maximum Money Bonus Package” will be rushed out you, right away by U.S. First Class Priority Mail.

It is my great privilege to invite you to come along on a remarkable journey that’s destined to make you wealthy. Very wealthy. Thank you for reading this message and I wish you nothing but success, good health, and a life filled with wonderful things.

All the best,

Craig Garber

P.S. Let’s face it, for most people, running a business is a bit of a “crapshoot,” at best. And while sometimes the dice roll around the table and come up in your favor... most of the time, they don’t.

I assure you though, there is nothing random, irrational, or “lucky” about the strategies inside “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers.”

The “good old days” when you could just sit back and easily attract loads of new business, like ants to a splotch of grease on top of a picnic table, are today... nothing more than a distant faded memory. A slice of nostalgia to reminisce about, the same way you might reminisce about the first time your daughter wrapped her gentle little hand around your extended index finger, or the first touchdown you ever made.

Today, competition is FIERCE, and the formula for survival is VERY simple. Yet.. very complicated to master, unless you have the right tools at your disposal. That formula is, you’re either staying ahead of the curve, or... you get eaten alive by those who are. In tough times you have to think smarter, not work harder. Simply “keeping up” is no longer enough.

If you’re unsure of this, just ask all the frustrated small business owners and entrepreneurs who depended on the “economy” to keep their doors open, but who were forced to close these doors during this recession. Or the “dot com” companies who were wiped off the face of the earth in the blink of an eye in the early 2000’s, as fast as you can hit the delete key on your keyboard.

Ask these folks if “keeping up,” and doing “the same thing everyone else is doing,” is a smart thing to rely on if you want to stay in business and make lots of money. If you truly desire in your heart of hearts, to accomplish everything you’re capable of and attain everything you deserve.

And I’ve got news for you: things aren’t going to be getting any easier in the future. In the future, only those entrepreneurs who have complete and total control over their businesses, will be strong. And the strong will get even stronger, while everyone else will simply crumble and fall off the radar screen, even faster.

And the fastest and easiest way to ensure your survival, is by creating simple and effective marketing strategies your competition can’t copy.

But while this is the harsh reality of business, and of life... that only the strong really DO survive... the good news is, it’s also a matter of choice which side of the economic scales you'll end up on.

What choice... will you... be making?
