Let me say this upfront: Keith Baxter is a conversion tracking freak.

I kinda knew that upfront, before I got an out-of-the-blue e-mail form him that one day in March, where he offered us to pay what I thought was an outrageous sum for our consulting services.

After all, Keith is kinda famous… known as serial Internet entrepreneur and founder of his own affiliate network, ModernClick.com and the new Offer Domination. Why would this man be so interested in lowly old us?

Then I thought about it: If you run your own affiliate network, tracking is not a convenient afterthought in your business… it is your business. Still I was a little surprised to get that much interest from a guy who is that famous… and, well, it turned out to be kind of a tough love as you'll hear…

I'll explain in a minute, but before I go back to Keith:

Who else wants to apply for one-on-one Internet business coaching through us?

A quick sidebar here that the doors are closing on the application deadline for our soup-to-nuts Internet business mentorship program. In my last post I opened the doors to our by-invitation-only program and this Saturday May 10, 2008 the application deadline is going to end.

Before you freak out and increase the flurry of applications we have received by filling in what you might think we'd like to hear, let me put you at ease:

We have not selected all final candidates for this program yet (only about half of all final candidates), so only apply after you read the questionnaire associated with this, and only if you feel you have something unique to offer to us as well. There are no wrong answers… so long as we feel you're potentially worth mentoring, there's no reason why we wouldn't select you.

Feel better now?

See, originally this was going to be an exclusive consulting service meant for high-end business clients, because — like you — we have only so many hours in a day…

(You know, to surf, blow money on dinner tabs, spend time with our girlfriends, and, err, yeah to do that dreaded thing called work.) (Yes, not only Larry knows horrible 4-letter words!))

Turns out we found a way to "multiply ourselves" (or at least to multiply our method) that would allow us to take a few more of you under our proverbial wing, without the cost…

Namely, we are doing so by using coaches that we trained personally in our way of setting up full-circle traffic monetization loops… from market research to product search-or-creation to traffic generation.

Traffic comes from PPC and other methods (the latter to be divulged only to approved students), and next on the curriculum is copywriting, landing page optimization and the basics of search engine optimization (which you need to apease Google's quality score police).

Lastly, we teach tracking and calibration, using, well, HexaTrack (duh!) and how to turn it all into a sustainable business by building relationships with your prospects that will last forever.

Apply here before the form is removed by the grim application form reaper (expected to arrive here in La Jolla on Saturday). Applying costs nuttin' and we'll complete the interview by calling you back on our dime.

…aaaaaaaaand back to Keith Baxter "grilling" Larry and me for 42 minutes:

Yeah "Tracking" is also my cue to get back into this interview thing that Keith eventually talked us into (he insisted he'd at least get an interview from us, if he couldn't buy our time outright).

"I know what you're thinking… "

You're probably expecting one of these "softball Internet marketing" interviews.

Yes, Larry and Amish can see into your dirty little mind!

And yea, of course you can tell right away that Keith likes HexaTrack (especially the PRO version with which he apparently makes a lot of money).

Still I'm glad this interview didn't turn into a completely embarassing lovefest — quite the opposite actually. Both we and Keith insisted that we pile on free value upon more free value in every minute of audio here and discuss the harder-to-address questions that newbies to the PPC and tracking game may have:

• "How do you start with little or no money?"
• "How do you find markets, keywords and offers that are profitable off the bat?"

…and our favorite question of them all:

• "This really is beginning to sound like work, when you suggest things like building your own landing pages with good quality score, writing copy, building lists, making your own products, and what-have you!"

We never said this is not work. We only said we didn't like work… yet we do it and we only want to work with people who accept this reality for themselves.

Yet, it is our fundamental laziness and preference for profit over spinning our wheels in gigantic spreadsheets that made us develop HexaTrack in the first place, and we can only speculate whether that's the reason that Keith is now automating a bunch of his closed-loop traffic circuits with HexaTrack PRO. 

Enough teasing, I can feel you shift around in your seat from here, so enjoy the interview and don't forget to comment below!

P.S. After listening to today's audio you should have a better taste for what's involved in running a HexaTrack PRO-based business.

Before you apply for our one-on-one mentorship program, let me re-iterate that this is realistically only for readers of this blog who are comfortable with applying themselves to the the full cycle of traffic generation as described in Keith Baxter's interview…

…and if you paid close attention to the interview, you'll see that a certain inner change may be necessary as well. As you go deeper and deeper into this, you'll find this inner shift inevitable… from one-shot get-rich-quick-addict who chases the next hot CPA offer to builder of long-term relationships with your lists…

If this is you, we not only welcome you to apply here, we want you to. The form will stay open till Saturday as promised.
