			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>It&#8217;s still funny how so many people are afraid to sell online even though the very reason they&#8217;re here is to get more business.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s OK, because if you&#8217;re reading this blog then you&#8217;re not one of those people.</p>
<p>I sold my first info product in October of 2008.</p>
<p><strong>What a nightmare that was!</strong></p>
<p>I haphazardly put together a webinar, promoted it through Facebook Groups and got 10 people to attend. After an hour presentation on short sales I pitched a 100 page manual (which I hadn&#8217;t even created yet.)</p>
<p>The Good part was that I managed to make 1 sale (10% conversion.)  The bad part was that I now had to write and deliver a 100 page manual within a week.</p>
<p>Somehow I pulled it off and my career as an info marketer began.</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;m such a hypocrite&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>During my short 7 years in sales, I&#8217;ve noticed what a hypocrite I am. I make my living selling things, yet when I walk into a car dealership I get pissed when I&#8217;m swarmed by 10 hungry car salesman.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve learned in the last 3 years of selling stuff online:</p>
<p>We Like to be helped.</p>
<p>We like to be asked.</p>
<p>We like to be offered.</p>
<p>but&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>We don&#8217;t like to be sold.</strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m not going to sell you this.  I&#8217;m just going to make you an offer and ask you to take action ONLY if it&#8217;ll help your business.  Otherwise DON&#8217;T buy it <img src='http://real-techguy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m offering you&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I&#8217;ve been deep in the lab with a pen and a pad trying to get this site right, and by George I think I&#8217;ve done it.</p>
<p>I wanted to share the new look with you and show you how to navigate the site, so I created <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dnylVCxf-c" rel='nofollow'>this video </a>for you.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="500" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3dnylVCxf-c?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3dnylVCxf-c?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>PS- I use the Thesis theme on this site.  It&#8217;s a paid theme, but totally worth every penny.  To get your copy <a href="http://budurl.com/GetThesisNOW" rel='nofollow'>Click Here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Yesterday I wrote about the two biggest words in marketing right now, <a href="http://real-techguy.com/2010/12/02/thank-you/" rel='nofollow'>Thank You</a>.  Today I need your help thanking one of the biggest influences of my online career, <a href="http://twitter.com/marismith" rel='nofollow' rel='nofollow'>Mari Smith</a>.</p>
<p>In this post I&#8217;m going to show you exactly why she&#8217;s been such a big influence, but first I need your help getting this message to her.  All you have to do is hit one of those share buttons (Facebook, Twitter, or both) on the upper right hand side of this post.</p>
<p>A couple of weeks ago I saw this tweet come through my feed from Mari:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5741" title="thank-you-mari-smith" src="http://real-techguy.com/wp-content/uploads/thank-you-mari-smith.png" alt="" width="534" height="170" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When I read that tweet it reminded me of how big an impact she&#8217;s had on me.  I immediately started researching my history with Mari and found some really cool things.</p>
<h3>Mari Smith helped create the Official Real Estate Referral Group&#8230;. sort of.</h3>
<p>First I have to thank Mari for helping me create The Official <a href="http://Facebook.com/RealEstateReferralGroup" rel='nofollow'>Real Estate Referral Group</a> (indirectly.)  In September of 2008 she wrote a post on How to <a href="http://www.marismith.com/how-to-create-and-promote-your-facebook-fan-page/" rel='nofollow'>Create and Promote Your Facebook Page</a>.  When you read that post, don&#8217;t forget to scroll down the comments &#8211; comment #32 is me (before I was the Real-TechGuy.)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5748" title="thank-you-mari-smith-1" src="http://real-techguy.com/wp-content/uploads/thank-you-mari-smith-11.png" alt="" width="475" height="183" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Yep, the page I built got 600 fans in the first week and then went viral.  I took what I learned from Mari plus what I learned in practice to create the <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/34128042/Building-Facebook-Communities" rel='nofollow'>Facebook Communities Blueprint</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>She also helped save the page and the community when I lost it.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Back in July 2010 <a href="http://techsavvyagent.com/video/facebook-shuts-down-page-with-47000-fans/" rel='nofollow'>Facebook Shut Down The Official Real Estate Referral Group</a>.  At that point the community had grown to 47,000 members.  Luckily some a of my good friends &#8211; Chris Smith (<a href="http://twitter.com/techsavvyagent" rel='nofollow'>@TechSavvyAgent</a>) &amp; Naomi Trower (<a href="http://twitter.com/#!/naomitrower" rel='nofollow'>@NaomiTrower</a>) helped get word out to the interwebs about this travesty.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Mari got hold of the story and personally got involved to help get my community back, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the community she inspired me to create two years earlier.</span></p>
<h3>Thank you Mari Smith for helping me be the leader I am today.</h3>
<p>PS- Don&#8217;t forget to help me get this &#8220;Thank You&#8221; to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/marismith" rel='nofollow' rel='nofollow'>Mari Smith</a> by sharing this post on Facebook and Twitter.  I&#8217;d also like to thank you for reading this and even bigger thanks for sharing it!</p>
