The Law of The Dead Duck December 2, 2007
Posted by Barry & Heather in : Make Money / Affiliate Stuff, Videos , trackbackOn our Friday MOS blog post, we passed on a few stories that set the foundation (or validation) for the USE of a very underestimated mind technique that SAGES and MASTERS have known about and USED, albeit in secret, for centuries.
The application of this mindset paradigm is so essential to growth and manifestation that Neale Donald Walsh has gone on record by saying that nothing is more fundamental to his entire ‘Conversations With God’ cosmology than this principle.
We’re NOT going to EXPAND or reiterate what this principle is, because we feel we’ve already done a bang-up job of bringing it to you and explaining why you MUST use it.
And, gosh darn it, DO use it, cause it doesn’t cost anything to try it out for awhile and experience its power.

A few of the 20+ blog comments we got about this have been interesting, to say the least.
We’re going to highlight and comment on 2 of them by making a blog post on Monday.
However, for now, we’re going to share a quick personal story about LEVERAGE that you also MUST soak in and use.
= = = = = = =
In 1995, Barry came across a full-page ad, in a national magazine, which had a headline of “The 3 Main Ways To Earn Money.”
It said something to the equivalent of this:
#1) Trade Time for Money: Otherwise known as a job or a career. If a person accumulates any degree of wealth employing this strategy, it will usually be at the expense of a life.
#2) Investing Money to Earn Money: Very few people have enough money, and specialized knowledge, to focus their efforts on trading it every day, especially when speculating on a financial asset that can be a double-edged sword. For example, a stock or currency asset going against your entry trade or position.
#3) Leveraging Yourself to Earn Money: This is where you multiply your time through the efforts of others. If you show people how to use a valuable product/service, from a company that pays a word-of-mouth advertising commission to its members, and teach them to tell others about this product, then you will get paid multiple times for an initial effort (telling the first person about the product/service once).
In the “Internet Marketing” world, this is what’s commonly known “2-tier affiliate marketing.”
There are 2 main ways to do this:
A) You can be an affiliate… such as if you’re a Platinum MOS member, you have the privlege of selling our Platinum audio-transcript package ($67-$97) and earning a 40% commission on any referred sale.
NOTE: We don’t have a 2nd-tier set-up for Platinum members at MOS; however, we do at our sister site, ManifestLife.com. There, affiliates can earn commissions off the efforts of e-marketers — online publishers and list owners — they’ve referred through their tracking link.
B) You can run an affiliate program… this gets a little more tricky because, well, you need a product / service that you OWN first. Then, the LEVERAGE comes into play when you create a system that automates the process of teaching online marketers how to, well, market your product / service. For instance, when you’re a MastersofTheSecret.com Free Talking E-book member, you’ll get introduced to our “Pay it Forward” system. Via a 23-minute video, we explain to PROSPECTIVE affiliates how they have the ability to change people’s lives for the better, through the promotion of our audio-transcript package, and… get PAID (rewarded) for doing it.
But, let’s say you don’t want to just be an affiliate. Yep, you’d basically like to do what we do, which is to run an affiliate program (or two) around a product or products you own.
You understand this is HOW the REAL leverage comes flying in — by creating a product ONCE and getting paid every time somebody buys and accesses it.
Well, by now, we know you’re smart enough to know that information-product creation is the only way to create a product ONCE and get paid multiple times on your initial effort (there’s no hard cost, for instance, on the duplication of a report, or no hard cost on having people access a set of .mp3 recording over and over again).
You know, it’s funny how the statistical guys in this business tell us that only 5% of any blog reader will read an entire blog post (nationwide, across all blogs). And while we feel special knowing that our internal tracking stats tell us that 26% of our readers (that’s you) get to the end of all our posts, we still shake our head in disbelief.
Why ?
Because, like we did through our post on Friday, we included an incredibly-valuable complimentary RESOURCE that shows people, through 5 videos, the simple 10-step 90-day plan to having a lucrative online business, even if someone is starting from scratch.
Not only that, these videos teach you how to get a business going, and profitable, for all the right reasons. Meaning, profits certainly matter, yet they come a lot easier when you start an online business with a mission to serve and add immense value in people’s lives.
So, we shake our head thinking, “holy crap… what happened to the other 74%? Don’t they have any faith in our ability to continually over-deliver and give FIRST?”
Anyway, enough ranting about our lofty expectations

Okay, so, while we have you here, with your attention on full alert, allow us to vouch for a loud-talking, red-haired guy from Texas who knows a thing or two about teaching people (that could be you) how to stop trading time for dollars and start trading products for dollars.
He’s known as Mr. Amazing Formula — a highly-intelligent, seasoned, online marketing saint who has created a few key “online marketing methods” that most full-time online entrepeneurs, like us, use practically everyday.
We won’t bore you with those details; however, we will tell you we’ve known Marlon for quite some time, and finally, in July of this year, had a chance to hang out with him in person for a few days in Colorado.
One day, over a 45-minute walk through the town of Loveland, Colorado (where he and Heather were shooting the world’s first competitive online reality show, The Next Internet Millionaire, and where we were using the Law of Attraction to come closer together as partners — life AND business), he was able to completely sift out the weak links (yes, there were two) in our business and help us SEE how outsourcing a few key functions would allow us to serve our community much, much better.
Sure, he’s one animated, high-energy kinda guy (the video below will give you an idea) but he’s the most likeable, what-you-see-it-what-you-get, generous TEACHER of Info-Product creation you’ll ever find.
We vouch for him, and his NEWEST product, Info Product Dashboard, 110%.
It’s an easy-on-the-wallet, step-by-step, “point ‘n click” product creation system that takes you by the hand to turn audios, CD’s, PDF’s, download pages, and videos into virtual no-brainer mini e-businesses.
It’s guaranteed, and it will help you do what we do — build digital automated mini-sites that offer products to sell in an area that you’re passionate about.
We do it by creating, publishing, and selling metaphysical / spiritual-growth education. But, you can do it in any field you like.
And, Marlon’s system, which goes for a mere $79, will help you to do it faster, simpler, easier and cheaper than with any other alternative. Period.
Here’s a 3 minute, 20-second video of Marlon talking about The Law of the Dead Duck.
Now that you’ve seen our friend’s funny-crazy side, waste no time tapping into his serious side… ’cause, truly, he’s just as passionately-focused on providing value.
Or, if buiding a mini e-site isn’t your thing, and you just want to tell the world about our stuff, login to your MastersofTheSecret.com account (assuming you’re already a free member) and watch our 23-minute “Pay It Forward” video.
( If you’re already a Platinum member, you can login and just click on the top navigation bar link titled “Affiliate Area” ).
And, don’t forget — sometime on Monday, we’ll be expanding on some of the comments that have been made at our post here.
