I spent the weekend at the Stephen Pierce Infinite Income Workshop. If you’re unfamiliar with Stephen he is a motivational speaker and marketer who raised himself  from poverty and crime to accountability and success.

Today he travels the world advocating online wealth through affiliate marketing, blogging, and selling information products. He has taken the stage with notable people such as Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powel, Brian Tracy and numerous others.

I first saw Stephen at Mike Filsaime’s Seven Figure Code seminar. I can’t remember what he was talking about then but I must have liked it. I began reading his blog from time-to-time and signed up for his mailing list. Fast forward a year or so. I got an email saying Stephen would be in Anaheim over the weekend.

To be honest, I didn’t expect much from a $49 workshop. I thought it would be about 2/3 pitch and 1/3 substance. I went anyway because I figured it was one of those rare opportunities to meet with like-minded people. I was surprised. Stephen really over delivered, especially in the motivation and personal accountability advocacy departments.

Everybody needs a pep-talk now and then. Not only that, we’ve got to have mentors and role models.  Anyhow, I’m rambling on. Basically, the things I was reminded of in the seminar we’re…

• Eagles fly alone mostly. If you want to fly like an eagle it can be a lonely quest. But you have to believe in what you do and your big idea and discount the naysayers that will try and keep you down.
• You are the boss of you. Whether you like it or not you live by your choices. We all have hang-ups. It’s what we choose to do about those hang-ups that matter.
• Success comes from the inside. Work on improving yourself and your attitudes if you want to see results externally.
• Let go of your past - stop letting the past define who you are today. I’ve seen this with my father as he has aged. He’s let little fears from his past grow into ten-thousand pound gorillas. Which leads me to the next point.
• Have you ever heard the saying “Keep doing what your doing and you’ll keep getting what you always got.” Stephen contested the idea saying something to the effect that if you keep doing what your doing you’ll get less than you got. I have to agree. If you keep doing the same things that have failed to work there is a layering effect which grows or builds momentum.
• Stop comparing yourself to others. Who cares what others have. You only have what you have and if you keep comparing you’ll never get what you want.
• Stop caring what others think as long as you are doing the right things. We all have fears about what others think. Even people who say they don’t. It’s overcoming those fears and putting it out there that will get us where we want to be.
• Make a daily checklist. You need these. Think about it. Pilots don’t just get into the plane and fly. They go through a pre-flight checklist every time. We should have a pre-flight checklist before we start our day too.
• Dream big

I could go on and on. It isn’t that most of us don’t know or haven’t heard all of this before. Our failures lie in application. Most of us have at least some understanding of our weaknesses. It’s what we do with them that matters.

Okay, now on to the business part of the seminar. Here’s some bullet points of the key tactics Stephen discussed.

• First cash generating tactic. Ebay. One of Stephen’s team began Friday morning’s discussion about selling junk on Ebay to get extra cash to fund your bigger dreams. That wasn’t that exciting for me. Although later he talked about selling websites on Ebay and that was pretty interesting. We used a interesting site called “GoofBay.com” to see how much and what percentage of seller’s auction inventories wer’e sold and for how much over 30,60,90 days - killer intelligence tool.
• Second cash generating tactic and the one that excited people most. Autoblogging - is the creation of large numbers of highly keyword targeted microblogs built using wordpress and automated content plugins and monetized with adsense and affiliate offers from Amazon, Commission Junction, and other networks.I had tried this in the past and setup a network of 50 or so blogs using autoblogging tactics and earned almost nothing from them after three months. What I discovered at the seminar was a couple of tweeks I needed to make with the keywords to get the blogs working right.I’ll go ahead and spill the beans. We used Amazon to discover top selling items which we later bought domains for using the product name as the keyword. There was a little more to it than that but we can discuss that later.

  The blogs are then promoted via Onlywire and Pingler.

• The next part of the seminar focused on info product creation which is a topic I’ve covered many times on this blog and will cover more…just not now.

So, do people who sign up for Stephen’s coaching programs and courses make any money? I spoke with several people over the course of the weekend who are members of his $39 a month MRMI (Make Real Money On The Internet) program. Nearly all of them had made some money. I spoke with two people who had since quit their jobs and we’re autoblogging full time. One of the men Randal said he was making $7k/month from his autoblogs. Also, all members of the program I talked to said Stephen really over delivered.

If you are interested in learning more send off for Stephen’s free book. He will mail it to you. It’s a short read with many valuable things. If you are just getting started with online business this might be a good option for you.

If you are interested, I recommend joining the MRMI Super Cash Program over some of his other programs if your just starting out. The program he pitched at the seminar was a good value at $4995 but it was very overwhelming (way too much stuff for someone starting out). Even his students recommended the $39 a month program over the $4995 program.

At any rate, go ahead and get his free book mailed to you. You can do it through this link and I’ll get a small comission. It won’t cost you anything extra. Does that sound fair? Go ahead and order your book now and you might be the next one to quit your job.
