endtro idea

how about a different song at the end of every video =D

go here for a good example of a common theme: http://www.jamendo.com/en/track/271592

try and pick a theme everyone who would listen to you / watch this would enjoy (target avatar... but always with testing ;-)).

as soon as your making $4000+ a month...

"The vault provides me with endless traffic sources. I'm downloading gigs and gigs from the vault's Net:Traffic search, just in case I can't get at that information later."

I need a new hard drive.
viruses. etc. i can't lose this information ever... it must be preserved.

What I don't want my show to be like

This:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZY3gTxI-IU

It sounds kind of like an sxephil rip and fails to answer "why do i care about your show?"

Instead, consider doing what sxephil, ApprenticeA, and MysteryGuitarMan all did: Make shows less frequently, but amazingly to get 5 star ratings and lots of subscribers up front. Then more people will be open to the concept of a show but still... I have a feeling there's two continuums to be revealed... the fact that a great show will always do way better through the course of time (like dear archilles) and the fact that when you're as big as sxephil it really just doesn't matter so much any more.

And of course, the most important fact of them all is your keywords and how much they sound like the kind of headlines that top rank at digg.com (thx you john reeses)

Cause and Effect

THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS "YOU ARE NOT AT CAUSE IN THIS AREA"

The solution has to do with "Becoming at Cause": This sets a framework for building a solution if you make the area and the requirements distinct

I'm going to use this from now on to answer people's complaints, problems, frustrations, and everything else feminine.

Bad Feeling about This...

Hahahahhaha

Success Guarenteed

I am happy to be able to make this announcement to the future: My success is now officially guaranteed. I will, without a doubt, be bringing in $50,000 a month within a few years.

I predicted that I'd start making money online, and that one came true, but that was out of pure commitment to the task. This prediction includes that, but is also more solid...

The three reasons my success is GUARANTEED:

1. Obviously, my level of commitment is there. If I lose it, I lose my guarentee.
2. My conversion system will use split-testing to continuously improve, so even if I don't yield profit from PPC right away, I can send free traffic at it to improve conversion ratios.
   
3. The vault provides me with endless traffic sources. I'm downloading gigs and gigs from the vault's Net:Traffic search, just in case I can't get at that information later.

If you feel trapped, I will free you soon enough! Help me speed things along if you want to hear freedom ring just a little bit sooner...

A conversation with alex (Networking Concept Raw + Predictions)

James: did that thing match you at all?

alex: I've still got a few more pages to read, but I love it

James: awesome

sounds so you

if you replace everything SEO with networking

alex: I can definitely connect with the guy

James: there's a whole world of networking

and the goal is leverage

you dont really want to network much yourself

you just want to post, talk to some people about it, and get the viral benefits

THATS leverage, because you can do that over and over and sometimes you'll get really big results, despite getting very little attention in the majority of things you do

alex: your making me want to drop out of school and pursue new dreams

STOPP

haha

James: lolol

alex: just kidding

James: actually, im exploring the idea

been networking all day, exploring the concept of leverage with networking

kinda stems from that interview cuz he did that with SEO

alex: im listening to the audio right now

to reinforce

the article

James: but networking is becoming huge i just need to figure it out

lol, nice, though that might be overkill. always spend your time on only the best of the best

alex: what does seo stand for

James: search engine optimization

doesn't really apply to you

ive tested this

couldn't get your blog to rank for anything when it had pr2, even things i was dead sure it would rank for

so if you can achieve what he achieved using NETWORKING LEVERAGE, I think that would work

and the legacy of the social networking challenge continues...

alex: hahah

Sent at 12:40 PM on Saturday

alex: whats the whole deal with

"linking"

James: ok, so, linking = a link's text tells google what the page is about (like a vote) and a link's authority (what page rank it comes from and how well it relates) tells google what significance the vote has

but here's the thing

MY LINKS BRING IN MORE TRAFFIC THAN ALL MY VIDEOS COMBINED, AND I ONLY HAVE A FEW WELL PLACED LINKS

about.com and a couple of the forums in particular

so that's how that applies to you

cuz the SEO just anit worth it to you UNLESS you can find a political niche

but usually that's thought of as your opinion... we're talking words

like there's a lot of stuff on nutrition, a lot of stuff on anti-aging, but not much on anti-aging nutrition... that's a niche withing nutritional health

alex: oooo

James: within

alex: so I don't need to worry about adsense

yet

James: well adsense is how you make money

so, of course not

i think that interview kind of drives that point home

alex: yeah

James: if i cared about money i'd be making about $1000 / month right now, pretty much guarenteed

but i dont. i care about becoming a millionaire

so im still only making $100 a month... and instead im working on my conversion systems and ad's for PPC hardcore

so i can then split test my way right to the top

can't do that with shitty advertising

drains all the money, even $1000 a month

alex: dang

James: i find it funny when im networking because only dennis karganilla gets the big stuff so far

everyone else, my superiors in the feild, they don't know what they're doing or they do but they're very much in the box with it

=D

but we'll see..... im talking too soon

alex: never!

your going to dominate them

James: lol

hold on.. posting this convo to jamesmontague.blogspot.com lol

Douche Bag Definition

May 7th, 2007 by Mitch Martin · 14 Comments · 3,748 Views

A douche is basically someone who acts in a way without account to what it looks like, and it just isn't right. Education like Landmark will train us not to care about what others think, when in reality, it's only MOST situations in which not caring is helpful.

In the longer-term type stuff, you should care about what people think, because there's reasons WHY they think what they do. For example, being cool is in general, a really good thing, because it smoothens friction created by our human mind when something isn't cool. We love for things to flow. If you're being a douche bag in any way, it'd be a great thing to know about it so you can stop.

Think Different

Think Different

(Apple Computer Ad Campaign)

From Fellow 20-year-old Entrepreneur: http://bigben.blogs.com/website/index.html


Here’s to the crazy ones.

The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.

They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones,
we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do.

What is Landmark?

This is just some masterminding I did on youtube. Here's the guys response. BTW, I didn't say anything about science, he took it out of context, but he brings up some words that have VERY solid truth behind them.

"Science? I must say I didn't see much science there - it was a mixture between common sense, buddhism, oversimplified "mind engineering" lingo [NLP] and group consciousness phenomena. There are loopholes and contradictions in what they present that make you feel like you didn't understand everything yet, but it's a self-contained word architecture, there is no solution- the concepts are dangerous and slippery.Look at Buddhist meditation as comparison. I do admit it has pushed me in a new directions."

Landmark supporters, don't flip out - dangerous is good. But not when it goes wrong. I just know landmark doesn't have to ruin lives like it does with psychosis cases and sucking in volunteers and minimum wage workers. The information is great, but the system is corrupted. You don't know how much I've investigated into DISPROVING that statement... but it definitely accumulates to over 100 hours now.

Worst State Ever

I've heard shitty things about Arizona and intolerance before, plus, they're one of the most hardcore anti-marijuana states in the country. Not that I can really judge Arizona, but still, I naturally sense that douchbags come from Arizona.

They want to lock a 8 year old up for killing his abusive father. The police really believe that's the right thing to do, even though the judge won't approve it. If they really *got* that absolutely everything has a perfectly good reason behind it (find something that doesn't, and I'll show you WHY it happened anyways), they probably wouldn't be able to live with themselves as police officers.

Well, scratch that, just because it has a reason doesn't mean you don't enforce the consequences. From the perspective, I'd say cops have the most noble of jobs. But, these cops sure anit the noblest - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27600105/

A Book Called "Thought Reform" Outlines Brainwashing

Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism

In the book, Lifton outlines the "Eight Criteria for Thought Reform":

1. Milieu Control. This involves the control of information and communication both within the environment and, ultimately, within the individual, resulting in a significant degree of isolation from society at large.

2. Mystical Manipulation. There is manipulation of experiences that appear spontaneous but in fact were planned and orchestrated by the group or its leaders in order to demonstrate divine authority or spiritual advancement or some special gift or talent that will then allow the leader to reinterpret events, scripture, and experiences as he or she wishes.

3. Demand for Purity. The world is viewed as black and white and the members are constantly exhorted to conform to the ideology of the group and strive for perfection. The induction of guilt and/or shame is a powerful control device used here.

4. Confession. Sins, as defined by the group, are to be confessed either to a personal monitor or publicly to the group. There is no confidentiality; members' "sins," "attitudes," and "faults" are discussed and exploited by the leaders.

5. Sacred Science. The group's doctrine or ideology is considered to be the ultimate Truth, beyond all questioning or dispute. Truth is not to be found outside the group. The leader, as the spokesperson for God or for all humanity, is likewise above criticism.

6. Loading the Language. The group interprets or uses words and phrases in new ways so that often the outside world does not understand. This jargon consists of thought-terminating clichés, which serve to alter members' thought processes to conform to the group's way of thinking.

7. Doctrine over person. Member's personal experiences are subordinated to the sacred science and any contrary experiences must be denied or reinterpreted to fit the ideology of the group.

8. Dispensing of existence. The group has the prerogative to decide who has the right to exist and who does not. This is usually not literal but means that those in the outside world are not saved, unenlightened, unconscious and they must be converted to the group's ideology. If they do not join the group or are critical of the group, then they must be rejected by the members. Thus, the outside world loses all credibility. In conjunction, should any member leave the group, he or she must be rejected also[1].

He's describing something extroverse!!!!

Scientology: 1/8 Jason Beghe Interview from Mark Bunker on Vimeo.

Must watch all of these

Scientology is the Foundation For Landmark

First 1:25 of this clip reveals how landmark spawned from scientology, and how the "technology" behind landmark may have "not existed" prior to landmark, but the ideas sure fucking did, and everything BUT the specific "technology" of distinctions landmark has... which is very doubting... DID exsist.

Important Statement of the Integrety, Congruence, and Progression in the field of Science of Thoughts

The Difference between self help / science of thoughts and PSYCHOLOGY is in how they approach the same variables. IT'S A FRAME OF MIND.

This is why Scientology rejects psychology, and also explains why I dislike psychology so much - because I'm all about SELF help (he explains the concept of it being focused on self in the beginning and throughout.)

Scientology has made some major advances in a whole array of fields, but unfortunately, L. Ron was a foolish fiction writer and told everyone he spoke the truth. I don't even believe in truth. It's a relative ideal. Everything I progress on is just that - progress, distinctions usable as tools with real science, like statistics & proven psychology, that backs up the research.

So Scientology failed harshly thanks to L. Ron basically fucking with a bunch of people because it made him happy. Let it be said that everything in science of thought is accepted by at least 95% of all professionals in psychology and other brain sciences as proven science.

So what's important now is to use the tools of Scientology, stripping them from their context and reforming them in science of thoughts.

And NLP

And dig into hypnosis, meditation, buddism

And Landmark & Neoscience

And everything & anything else, which can only be done in a way that gets the ball rolling in a way that makes it stuck to that exact context.

My Personal Blog

Hey, you're reading my first blog post. Good for you!

I made this blog, because, after a long time debating it, and not having anywhere to post ridicules pictures like this one (from an article on the future of advertising)... I decided it was time to make a place for all the crap I want people to see.

At the time I am writing this I am preparing to go into some of my first markets. My Dad's business is just starting to see more than a couple of interested prospects, and the direct mail campaign is about to begin. I haven't yet made any flow of money on the internet.

And there's two things I want to say right now, so people finding this post in years to come can realize a couple of things about me.

I KNOW, right now and always, that I will be a successful entrepreneur and a millionaire. I have no power on the internet, no one to help me, and statistically, a very small chance of making it. I just wanted you to know that without any prior knowledge, I knew it in advance. Sure, I have about 40 hours a day to put into this thing for about 2 more years (9 months down..), but it makes a difference when you're totally committed to something. I have dropped out of school until I am in a better position to complete my Bachelor's degree and am currently faking my attendance so my parents don't freak the fuck out.

If you want the power of knowing you can accomplish your goals, just read my number 1 rated book, Think and Grow Rich (if I haven't made it, DON'T READ THAT BOOK!)

And another thing - I have huge plans for what I will do in this world. I'm going to spread happiness and self-help with a program called Journeys. I want to help reform our fucked up school system (wikipedia = 3x learning you get from class). I want to be in the business of giving other people businesses. And my greatest goal - no my spirit - is to obtain as much steady happiness as I possibly can - one of the main ways I am going to do this is by spending my "working" life "working" on skill sets - like getting skills in the areas of attraction, relationships (affirmation), NLP (memory), and many others.

My theory on happiness is that what you have is totally irrelevant. It's what you do with what you have. If I had a house overlooking the beach but I only looked out on the view a few times a year, what would be the point of having the house? Wouldn't it actually end up making me feel kind of shitty (subconciously) for not using something I have? On the other hand, I could have a log. Just a stupid log. And I'd turn that thing into a whole fucking world.

My theory on philosophy is that there is some truth in everything. You can invent anything for yourself by digging through truths and connecting them for relevancy.

My theory on money is that the more you have, the less you deserve it. If you make a Billion dollars a year, that means a thousand people could make a million dollars a year. You COULD make 1000 millionares... and I know that probably isn't achievable, but the point gets across.

My ethics are of a high standard. I value giving people stuff for free, and then asking for compensation. I value supporting everyone and hogging nothing. I believe that if what you have isn't selling well enough - and your qualified prospects are there - then the answer is NOT in conversion - it's in the quality or type of your product. Do the work and be a value giver and you will go far and be happy - do the opposite and you'll have a bad reputation (whether it follows you or not) and you'll drive yourself down the road of unhappiness.

I hate it when people sell you on their book, and then the content is crap. I would never give someone crap, not even for free.

The reason I chose to "make it" was simply because of how incredibly fucking lucky I am. I'm a white guy, 20 years old, living a very happy life with my parents in southern California on a beach, sexy, smart, and with nothing but college looking me in the face for the next 5 years. I had to take advantage of this situation. I just wish that I could give back to others - so they can at least have some of the things I had. When I look at sean stevenson, I feel like the self-help industry does good work of that.

But I'm going to have to get successful before I can give back in the magnitude I want to... so, here I go...
