Why I said no to easy money
publication date: Jun 20, 2007
Hi there
If you are interested in building a property portfolio or a successful online business AND are free from 22nd - 24th June (yes this weekend), then read on . . .
Last week I was approached by a trusted industry contact. He wanted me to endorse a three-day event called The UK Entrepreneur Convention. It was a strange mix of recognised UK property and Internet gurus sharing their secrets at The Renaissance Hotel at Heathrow.
He knew that my What Really Makes Money readers (yes, that's you) were the most motivated, driven and serious opportunity seekers in the UK.
And he wanted to pay me handsomely for my endorsement. In fact he offered me a 50% commission for every seat I sold. Guess what I did?
But I turned him down flat!
Like you I'm not comfortable with a lot of these seminar deals, especially when I haven't out the contents to the test myself.
So here's the first bit of good news - you'll be glad to hear that this isn't one of those £2,000 or £4,000 high ticket seminars. The regular ticket price for the day is £497.
And I was all set to pocket almost £250 of that. But instead I decided to pass on my full profit share in the form of a discount to my most trusted readers.
So if you are free and this seminar strikes a chord with you, then you can get you hands on a 3-day pass for just £248.50 (or 2 tickets for £298.50).
You can check out full details here:
Why am I passing on this discount?
First, for purely selfish reasons. I want to prove to you that I continue to remain as objective as possible when it comes to assessing business opportunities. I would not feel good about making 'easy money' by pocketing commissions from every Tom, Dick or
Harry who made me a generous offer!
Second, because I can't make it to this event I won't be able to do my usual first-hand assessment.
However I will say that my contact is a totally legitimate and highly regarded. The other speakers include the wonderfully down to earth, smart and very approachable Neil Stafford and Neil Tracers, a smattering of TV property gurus and a smattering of some serious online geeks. Here's what they promise to show you over the 3 days:
- Easy to follow action plans you can use immediately to make more money on the Internet
- What's working right now on the Internet (and what isn't)
- Real examples of successful online (and
offline) promotions you can model and profit from.
- Never-before-revealed insights into the minds of effective internet and offline marketers
- Step-by-step guidance to creating websites and sales materials which make money
- How to identify, value and buy profitable domain names
And that's just the Internet stuff! Here's just a small sample of what's promised for the property:
- How to Buy Investment Properties without using your own money
- How you could build your own multi-million property portfolio within 3 years
- What is the Key Secret to Property Investing
- How to Finance Property Deals Correctly
- How to buy investment properties at
significant discount to open market value
- How to add significant value to your
investment property
- Buying 'off plan' vs 'stock' property
- How to write your own property investment plan
I wont take up valuable space or time listing all the speakers or the contents of the 3 day entrepreneur fest, so it's best of you check out the website for yourself here:
Will there be further costs apart from getting yourself to the event over the 3 days? No! Lunches and tea breaks are included!
How very British! ;-)
Will the speakers be hitting you up for their own high priced products? Of course they will! That's one of the reasons why I suspect the ticket price is so low. But my guess is that the content of the seminars will be of high enough quality that you won't feel the need to get your credit card out . . . unless you feel compelled!
So do at least check out the website, I would certainly be going myself if I didn't have family stuff to do!
Anyway, my e-letter will be back to normal at the end of this week. Promise!
Best regards
Nick
