We finally got the new PeteWilliams.com.au site up…

It’s now live over at http://www.PeteWilliams.com.au (ironic right ?)

We’ll be making a bunch of changes to the blog here over the coming weeks as well … so stay tunned.

How I RE-sold the MCG.

As you may already know….

I recently re-sold Australia’s version of Yankee Stadium, the MCG – a project I first did back in 2003 when I was just 21 — and how I got the tagline ‘Australia’s Richard Branson’ from the Aussie media.

It was a great success when I first undertook the project, but this time around, it was much more organised, and on may levels a more successful project – (the reason why is below)

… and that’s even after I received a cease and desist letter right in the middle of the campaign that threatened to shut the whole thing down.

When opened the doors to the online sales page, we received a very nice 5 FIGURE PROFIT in the first 12 hours – with out any affiliates !!!

Not bad for a project, I launched on-the-side for a bit of fun.. and to help get some of the remaining MCG carpet out of my mums garage.

The reason for the success – http://www.preneurmarketing.com/MCGsecret

It was a downright, good old fashioned Product Launch…

A Jeff Walker product launch…

If you don’t know Jeff Walker, he’s the guy with all the strategery (yes, I’m sure that’s a word) behind all the crazy online product launches.

… and Jeff has just released his Product Launch Blueprint for free.

You get the PDF Blueprint PLUS a video that walks you through the entire blueprint …

the exact same strategy, plan and process I used just a month ago to resell the Melbourne Cricket Ground…

.. and it cost me a few thousand dollars to have one of his trained coaches help me out during the launch.

Obviously, you have to enter your email to get this… but there is no cost, and there’s no hidden upsells or continuity or anything.

Get it now before Jeff pulls it down on Tuesday: http://www.preneurmarketing.com/MCGsecret

IMPORTANT: be sure to print out the PDF so you can take notes as you go through the video.

Seriously, this is a pretty powerful document to have in your swipe files… whether you market online or offline.

It’s worked for me, and I know it will work for you.

Pete

P.S. There’s even a hidden “resources” section that Jeff must have snuck in at the last second – it doesn’t show up in the training video, but it’s in the actual Blueprint.

P.P.S. There are also a few other videos one the site you can watch as well – including a breakdown of Apple’s recent iPhone 4 launch.

Experiments in Disconnect

I’m currently away from the office for a couple of weeks – primarily for a few meetings and speaking engagements in the USA.

In an effort to get a few projects that have been sitting on my to-do and would-like-to lists completed, I am trying something I’ve never done before…

.. disconnecting from the grid.

Well, the best I can anyway.

I decided to leave a week prior to any locked in commitments to lock myself away, remove as many distractions as possible and just work on ‘shipping’ some ideas & projects.

My rules are pretty simple:

Keep my mobile phone turned off for the entire week, and limit send/receive of email to twice a day only.

It’s only been 36 hours and what I have to report is

Anxiousness.

For someone who has lived his daily life by checking email at least 48 times a day (and that’s under- exaggeration) this is tough – real though.

I have broken the email rule a couple of time already …

Firstly, I disabled the automatic send/receive in my mac mail to stop the inbox filling up and pulling my attention … but like any good addict I found myself getting my hit due that nasty enabler – the ‘Get Mail’ button in the toolbar.

So what does one junkie have to do to get clean – remove the enabler, and thus that has button is deleted…

I understand the email is not crack or acid, but if the withdrawals that are physically manifesting themselves in my body and mind in the form of stress, anxiousness and worry that I will be late to an online party, are anything like real drug addiction, I’d be in real trouble is I was a user.

Even with the small rule breaks, it has been a successful experiment in it’s first 36 hours.

I’v gotten my inbox down from over 160 emails to around 40 right now, and made some solid progress on a few projects.

There are still 5 more days left, and I hope as I progress the anxiousness will die down, projects will get complete, and I can come out the other side a little less depended on ‘being connected”

I can only begin to imagine what true alcohol + drug addiction does to a person and their family … and hope our society can continue to offer better support programs to these people.

Yellow Pages Is…

Just this week, in the aftermath of the highly criticised Hidden Pizza marketing campaign, Stephen Ronchi the Strategic Communications Manager at Sensis, which owns Yellow Pages Australia came out and basically said that using the Yellow Pages is a last resort and the tool for lazy business owners.

“[Yellow Pages is]…for small businesses who may be time-poor and don’t always have the necessary expertise in marketing and advertising, web and content development, search engine optimisation, search engine marketing, etc.”

So to combat this, and teach you the skills even Yellow Pages agrees you need to know to grow your business, Dave Jenyns and I are teaming up to put on a one-day workshop.

A workshop focused heavily on Internet Marketing for local business. Run By Real World Business Owners – Not Some Self-Proclaimed “Marketing Expert.”

Today, once you harness the power of online marketing, the outcome for your business and bottom line is completely different.
