How To Be The Most Connected Person On The Internet

Build Your Online Business Now

It’s Not What You Know, It’s Who You Know!

You can be the smartest person in the world with the best money making idea ever but if you’re not connected to the right people who can bring those ideas to reality, then it doesn’t really matter. The big winners of this world are always the ones who are the most connected – it really is who you know and not what you know.

I owe much of my success to people who are connected to other people. For example, it was my connection with Neil Petal that allowed me to connect with the head of Google’s webspam team, Matt Cutts, which got my blog back into the Google search index. Being connected with the right people will make success a whole lot easier. The question is, how do you get connected?

Dr. David Klein – The Most Connected Person On The Internet

Of all the people I have met in the Internet marketing industry, the most connected by far is Dr. David Klein. From the top Internet marketers in the world to the big wigs at Google and Facebook, DK knows EVERYBODY! He was a featured speaker at the Affiliate Summit West Facebook panel (the most attended panel of ASW), he organized the biggest affiliate poker tournament in the world that was attended by the biggest affiliate marketers in the world. His ThinkTank events are attended by the who’s who of the Internet marketing world.

This wasn’t always the case. DK started with no connections just like you and me. How did Dr. Klein go from a nobody to the most connected person the Internet? It’s a questions I wanted to know and I think you’ll want to know as well. I asked him to tell us and he made this awesome video that shows you a step by step system on how to get ultra connected. I think you’ll agree with me that if you’re connected to the right people, you can do just about anything. Imagine how much easier it would be to launch a new product if you’re connected to all the big marketers or how much easier it’ll be to get funding for a new business venture if you’re connected to all the big VCs in the Valley.

Success is a team sport. No one who has achieved any level of success has done it alone. Sure, it may look like it sometimes, but I can guarantee you that every successful person has a well connected team behind them and I can’t think of a better person to help you get connected than Dr. David Klein. Best of all, it won’t cost you anything. Enjoy the video!

oh there was a video too. I totally overlooked it !

Nice post but doesn't exactly tell us how to be the most connected person on the internet.

It is true that we can not do anything alone. I mean we need help to make things happen. Team work is always the key to get things done. Team work really save time, energy and money. But before that we have know people who are willing to help and participate. I think that's the same as holding a job.

This is great info, its very true, having connections gets you far every where in life, not just the internet world. It helps alot knowing the right people and having connections. Ill be sure to sign up and get the info on how to be connected.

I guess the age old saying just about sums it up - "It's not what you know, it's who you know"

You re right, John. You yourself are is your friend. I think so

I'm noticing a trend for this upcoming think tank.
a) They're all dudes. Ladies need to represent!
b) There are a high volume of bald men? You better watch out John ;)

Anyhow, thanks for the link. I'll definitely be checking out dk's advice!

Most of DK;s video once you submit your email was about who he knows...I only watched half of it expecting to get something meaty before 3 minutes, but didn't really get it.

I would agree...it's who you know.

That is just the welcome video. The real content will start after everyone has a chance to get in. A lot of people are still opening their e-mails and opting in. The next video and e-mail will be asking you to fill out a survey to let me know EXACTLY what you want to learn. I promise meaty, like thick lamb shanks, smoked and tender, falling off the bone! The kind that sticks to your ribs after eating LOL

Commenting is really a great place to connect with other people.Enjoyed the video.

Signed up on DK's website but got nothing but the same video... Seems like soemthings wrong.

That would happen if you cookie didn't get set. Try to register again.

John a similar thing happened to me. When I got the link in the email after opting in when i click on it , it gets me back to the sqeeze page.

I'll try what you suggest but sometimes the autoresponder says you are already in and won't let you in again.

That should not be happening. Try again, and send me an e-mail at dk (at) purposeinc.com yep, that is actually my main personal e-mail. :) Also from anyone else trying to get in but having trouble. This should be a really fun course that it is turning into, and it will only be online a short time, so I want everyone in, who wants to be in!

I know it shouldn't be happening, it's a vicious loop but I'll try to opt in again and see what happens. I'll send you an email if it still doesn't work.

Thanks DK for wanting everybody in.

Dr. K sure knows how to have fun. I wonder: would this be the cause or an effect of being so well connected?

I think your avatar answers that question, no? :)

the lady was hot... its great to be well connected... :-)

Header of his website itself revealing that he connected with Neil and Shoe most.

You can see him in every event organise by Shoe :)

Most importantly is that I know ZK. Maybe one day ZK will grace one of my events. I can only hope!

Thanks for sharing this John. That's the power of networking. Facebook and Twitter can really be a big help when it comes to connecting with people.

Kind regards,

Gary

Agreed. But Facebook mostly helps you connect with people you already know. That's a starting point, but then you need to go out and meet more people. And then maybe friend them to stay in contact :)

If you want to be the most connected person on the Internet, then you better get to networking on all of those social networking sites

Welcome to the 21st century! Everything trend to be connected! That guy know how to do it, no questions about that.

I agree that it is all about with whom you are associated. Without friends in high places, you can still succeed, but the road to success is a much longer one.

Wow, very interesting!! That is a great way! Even when your publish here on this blog!

Yes great video, and me too I signup on him. GreaT one, thanks

I'm confused. If it is totally free, why he is asking for email address. What he is going to do with email addresses? He is well connected and why he needs thousands of email addresses. These are all puzzling questions we need to find the answers for before we want to listen to his saga. I think he should be thanking us thousands of times for wasting our time. I think he is laughing all the way to the bank

He wants to be even more connected. I think that you have some blockage and perhaps should refrain from commenting until it gets unblocked.

You keep asking the same question and putting down the very people off whom you feed.

If you don't know why he is asking for an email address, then you don't understand how Internet marketing works. I find it pretty funny that you have a blog on the subject. :)

I am just waiting for John to give me his e-mail address so i can get invited to dot com pho! God I love John Chow!

That's funny DK,

Everybody can come as you know just follow John on twitter so you get the details of time and place.

Sorry that my long comment got in between.

When is the next dot com pho? There hasn't been one up in awhile. How are we going to know what the gadget of the week is? :)

Hey John,

He or she is confused and most of all resents that you make money.

It is remarkable how many people besides this one are so obviously trying to make money on the internet, the proof they want to make money is the AdSense and ads on their site, and yet they resent others who are actually making money and especially those who make significant money like you.

They say that by giving an email address to you, DK or anybody who would actually teach them most valuable things which would enable them to make money, that they are being taken advantage of.

What did this person full of venom help anybody with?

By having ads on their site they admit to wanting to make money and they don't mind sending people anywhere just to make a few cents. And I mean anywhere.

Them posing here as caring for others and besmirching you in order to attract your readers to useless site is the height of hypocrisy.

I did visit the site of this trouble maker just to confirm what kind of person they are. That was the first and last time I'll have ever visited.

:) Ironic....well good thing you have that training program coming up!

My funny comment is below. To answer this more seriously (which is hard for me), yes, this is a way to gather e-mail addresses, and connect to more people. In the end, if you are connected to many people, then when you do have a product, people will know about it. I have been on John Chows mailing list for years, and greatly appreciate all of the opportunities he has given me by being on the list. And yes, thank you X 1000. :)

Since when did an email address become a means of payment? Last time I checked giving away an email address IS totally free. And usually when one wishes to connect, they oftentimes will give out something along the lines of, oh I don't know, an email address.

SnowBall rolling a little hard there
..don't start an avalanche :)

Haha sorry! I'm harmless.

You just look awfully tough in that pic! I think your comments carry much more weight! Watch out!

Hey DK you are more connected to beautiful Girls.

Saw your blog and photos.

You were rocking in Playboy parties.

Wow, what an amateur.
If you don't know the purpose of email marketing gtfo.

This question kept sticking with me. One simple concept that you may not have come across is how important YOU are. Without each and every "fan" or "follower" or "user" each one of us would be nothing in the business world. I am John Chows fan, I am Shoemoney's fan, that makes them more important. The fact that you will listen to me, or even comment on Johns post about me, makes you very, very important to me. If I could I would return every one of those thousands of e-mail addresses i have gotten with a personal thank you. I am truly grateful.

Wonderful post John...and thank you!

I love the part that success is a team sport.

The larger the support group the easier it becomes to accomplish your goals.

I dunno... I think it's not so much who you know... but who knows you. And I believe that for people to know you - you must serve your community with integrity and quality.

If you don't know them then chances are they won't know you. It's up to your to take the first step to get connected.

That's true - hey, I came looking for you didn't I? :) I'll touch base once your launch stuff is over, and when I've got something worthy to bring to the table. It's coming soon!

Earl, One suggestion to get Johns attention, if you want to hear it. The suggestion is to find things you can do to help John. John is always looking for great content for his blog, and of course letting people know about his cool blog profit camp!

I always try to help others as much as possible before asking anything. Every once in a while you meet a guy like Amish Shaw, who I have done nothing for yet, but has helped me a ton.

Wow it looks quite interesting!

Maybe one of the most effective ways to connect with others would be on Facebook?

Besides the privacy issue ;)

I think Facebook is a great way to connect, but to make a stronger connection, and really understand a person's character, I think in-person get-togethers like dk's Poker Tournament or, like I said, ThinkTank would be the best way to really network. And yes, there is the privacy issue on Facebook too.
