Dot Com Lunch At Marché Moderne

written by John Chow on July 31, 2014

Located at The Penthouse at South Coast Plaza, Marché Moderne is decorated to make guests feel as if they were sitting in a cozy, yet urban French bistro in one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities such as Paris or New York City.

Classic features include wood plank floors, ancient stone accents, white linens and dark wood French doors, which open up to a rooftop patio. Against this charming backdrop, the restaurant has modern accents: minimalist white lighting, artistic floral displays and Italian patterned silk banquettes.

Driven by a passion for market-inspired ingredients and classic French cooking techniques, Florent and Amelia Marneau have created a truly modern French bistro in the heart of Orange County. Florent and Amelia enjoy integrating extremes: urban and rustic, simple and sophisticated, modern and traditional. The food at Marché Moderne is a reflection of the world’s best artisan-made products and Southern California’s farm-fresh fruits and vegetables.

In France, bistro food can be a very economical, so Marché Moderne bring this tradition to the OC with their three-course prix fixe “Spontanée” menu. On a daily basis the bistro offers a brand new first course (usually a refreshing salad or soup), two main courses (usually a fish or meat dish), and one of Amelia’s seasonal-inspired desserts. At only $25 per person, it makes for a near perfect dot com lunch.

Throwing a Better ASE Party by Thinking Smaller

written by John Chow on July 29, 2014

Affiliate Summit is only a few weeks away and the party invites are coming on in fast and heavy. My good friends at Clickbooth has always been the company that throws the biggest and best parties at the show. However, for ASE New York, Clickbooth is taking a different tack. They’re thinking smaller!

Based on partner feedback, Clickbooth is actually scaling down for two brand new events that they will be hosting at the Summit. The events are targeted to just the largest players in the industry. I’m talking about the $1+ million a month affiliates and $5+ million a month advertisers.

The cb:Black Event

What? Most exclusive Affiliates Only event in Affiliate Summit history
Who? Only 100 VIP Affiliates admitted. No Networks, No advertisers, No Newbies
Where & When? Monday 8-11-14, from 6pm – 9pm
in the Jay Z Suite at New York’s hottest 40/40 Club
6 West 25th Street. New York, NY 10010

The Clickbooth & Limelight Event

What? Two of the largest powerhouses in the advertising world come together to create a small yet powerful event.
Who? This is an event for the BIGGEST advertisers in the industry. Capacity is extremely limited.
Where & When? Monday, August 11th 2014, from 6pm – 9pm
at Bagatelle – “NYC’s hottest lounge”
One Little West 12th Street, New York, NY 10014
Click here for more info and to request an invite

The Affiliate Nation Mega Party

If you don’t make the cut for the above, or you’re are looking for THE after party, the Affiliate Nation Mega Party is still happening. Everyone is welcome and the bar is open all night long!

What? THE Industry party. Twista is performing and we’re treating you to open bar all night!
Who? All conference attendees are invited. Be sure to RSVP and arrive early this event always hits capacity and has a line out the door.
Where & When?
Monday 8-11-14, from 10-2am
LQ Nightclub
511 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10017

Clickbooth claims they’re thinking smaller, but I don’t get how adding two more parties to your list is thinking smaller. At any rate, I like how they think. See you in New York!

The Fastest Way To Making Your First $100,000

written by John Chow on July 27, 2014

When it comes to getting to six figures a year in your online business, there are several ways to get there. One way though is MUCH easier than most others!

Think Of It This Way

Let’s say that you need to travel somewhere, and it’s quite urgent. And from where you’re at right now, it’s about a 2,000 mile journey. Now, if your health is decent, you could walk there. Yep. Wouldn’t even cost you anything but a lot of energy. You could even pedal a bike and get there. Slightly better, but still a very long ride.

You could drive a car there. Now you’re looking a lot better at how fast you’ll get to your destination. But still, that’s quite a drive, even in a fast car. Then… you’ve got a Jet.

Now you’re getting somewhere!

You could arrive at your destination in hours. And I think you’d agree. Taking the Jet wasn’t any harder for you to get there. It didn’t require any more effort, time, or energy. In fact, it’s just the opposite.

This exact same phenomena happens in the online business space as well, and the smart folks out there realize this, and they profit wildly from it!

You Want To Get To $100K?

The slow, and near impossible, route is by selling cheap products of $97 or less. Getting to $100k this way is like traveling cross country on foot. It ain’t gonna be easy.

The fast way is in having high ticket offers integrated into your business with $1,000+ in profit potential, per
sale. That’s like taking the Leer Jet to $100k+ profits. You get there is 100 sales or less, not thousands.

This may surprise you, but just like taking a jet rather than walking by foot to get somewhere, getting the high ticket commissions is NOT harder. In fact, it’s just the opposite.

Now doing it all by yourself IS hard. And that’s why I recommend people looking to get into high ticket commission offers to apply for MTTB. It gives you everything you need to learn how to make $1,000, $3,000, and $5,000 commissions, and even gives you a personal one-on-one coach to work with. I personally make over $100,000 a month from it. Now, my results are not typical, but it’s really not that hard to make a decent full time income online.

I used to be like most marketers and promote low priced products, and I did quite OK with them. However, I didn’t hit the six-figure per month level until I got into big ticket offerings. If you want to make the big money online, then you need to get into big ticket, and apply for MTTB is your starting point. Enjoy the journey!
