Things went a little nuts here… since last week's announcement, I've literally gotten bombarded with inquries about this…

(two guys even wanted to send me their credit card numbers on the spot!)

Of course I'm talking about our limited mentorship program that I was stupid enough to mention in my last blog post.

I say "stupid" because we originally meant to keep this on the down-low and personally invite some of our best users into this… actually for a very high fee, proportionate to the exclusivity and power of the methods they will learn from us.

Still, I floated the idea on the blog, silly me, and now we've gotten requests for mentorship from all over the world. (12 countries to be exact.)

[We love getting your e-mails, by the way, and will respond to each one just as soon as we can.]

Look - as you can see from our videos, we're just two guys…

Yes, we have employees and contractors who help us code HexaTrack. Who design quality-score friendly landing pages for us. Who research and write niche market e-books for us.

We even trained some of those cheap offshore guys to set up and babysit our PPC campaigns for us (if they can learn this, so can you!)

But all the training and help that we have been giving to ANYONE comes directly from us, Larry and Amish!

From our adventures with HexaTrack, The New PPC, and especially from my "leak" on the blog, we learned that many folks need a lot more help than we can provide here… whether we provide it for free, whether we charged a fee, whether we partnered, or whatever mode we would work together.

Yes, if you're the technical tinkerer type with unlimited time on your hands, you can probably figure this out with just our videos and the other free resources online from many of our friends.

What are you saying? You're not that techie type? You didn't delight in taking radios and toasters apart when you were a child?

Instead you want something "odd" like step-by-step shortcut to results fast? Well, you might be interested in what I have to offer in a minute….

While we're making public announcements… we need more case studies, testimonials, and success stories… here's why that's hard for us:

Nothing inspires success like success — agreed?

We have big plans for our little company and there's no better way to spread the word with videos like our recent $45,000 video (click if you haven't seen it yet)…

…except this time, we want you to be the one whom we show grossing $45,000+ in a couple of days!!

Now here's the problem with getting success stories from users: Everybody is so darn secretive about their successful Internet marketing campaigns.

We don't exclude ourselves there, by the way, as you've seen in our videos. We have no choice but to blur out private information so that not everyone and their mother overruns the niches we've found, and thus ruins those for everyone. Fair?

However, taking that secrecy into account, there's only one way for us to get success stories: Take a strictly limited number of HexaTrack users under our wing and give them personalized one-on-one training, coaching and mentorship — not only in Adwords advertising, but also in:

• finding profitable affiliate offers so you don't waste time and money on duds
• creating products from scratch, or licensing off-the-shelf products that sell
• copywriting for your pay-per-click ads so you rank higher and pay less per click!
• finding and exploiting pay-per-click traffic sources other than Adwords
• cash flow tricks accessible only to insiders to help you fund your campign
• getting floods of free traffic through natural search engine optimzation strategies

Before I continue to drone on about what we could teach you, let me ask you this though:

You realize the value of personalized one-on-one training, don't you?

Especially in a field like PPC that can make tens of thousands of dollars quickly, but that also requires a substantial investment to get such results, right?

From that follows, if you're serious about becoming one of our success stories, you can no longer treat this as a hobby, as an onlooker, as the dreaded dreamer who consumes one free video after another without taking action…

You realize that, from today on, you have to approach this seriously and professionally if you don't want to waste your time and ours, don't you?

The drawback is, we're only two guys…

 
There's only so much we can teach you one-on-one, and frankly, we still need some time to surf and enjoy the La Jolla sun!

So we spent the last months scouring the Internet and our temporary hometown near San Diego… and we found about a dozen qualified mentors for you…

We figured that about a dozen mentors will be just the right number of trainers to produce at least a few smash-hit success stories among you, the HexaTrack users.

Also, a dozen is just about the right amount of coaches that we can still personally train and oversee… any more one-on-one coaches and the quality of your training would suffer.

With a dozen mentors, each one can take on a handful of clients… not less, not more

My point here is that you understand that a mentorship program like this is strictly limited to whom we can take on and whom we can't. Once all trainers are busy, that's it and we have to close the doors on new applications until someone drops out of the program.

Why there's a limit on this mentorship program should be clear by now.

We also had a soul-searching session this week – about success and failure. We come up with some specific success criteria that, in our humble experience, are absolutely decisive for your pay-per-click marketing welfare.

These factors decide — strangely almost from the get-go – whether you end up going nowhere with Adwords, or whether this will be a serious business that helps you:

• pay off your consumer debt including your home mortgage
• save for your nest egg (I'm sure you don't want to be doing this forever — even if it's the easiest business in the world!)
  
• bankrolls your lifestyle so you can afford to travel and do business from essentially anywhere… like Larry, myself, and many of our friends!

Straight shooter alert here: We wouldn't be Larry & Amish if we didn't tell you upfront that not the least of these factors is having access to some credit to pay for your keyword bids, and the ability to pay a nominal monthly fee to cover the expense of our mentors. The other main factor is determination, professionalism and seriousness. I already hinted at that.

If you lack either… if you're lazy, desperate and broke… if you think pay-per-click will propel you from zero dollars to Black Amex in a couple of months… then please don't apply!

We really can't help you, other than with our ongoing free training here on our blog, and by way of making the low-end version of HexaTrack available free. But if you stay with the free training, don't complain about our occassional rant and rave about how you need to get off your duffs to make this work!

Fair?

Onward with those who are serious about builiding a substantial Internet marketing business in 3 to 6 months, a year tops…

The first step to get access to our mentors is a telephone interview, to see if you're qualified. We need to see if you're remotely ready to become one of our future success stories.

You might not like this. You might be a shy wallflower who prefers to sit behind his computer and never talk to anyone. That's not how this training program will work.

You will get Internet marketing training over the phone and the Internet, and it will be so interactive, you might get sick of our coaches calling and pushing and prodding, to help you achieve your own success. Yes, you might get sick of us helping you so much, quicker than we get sick of you not doing your homework!

If you're not really "feeling this" and would prefer to build your schedule around your favorite daytime soaps, or whatever you like to waste time with, offline and online, I seriously would urge you to go back a few paragraphs and re-read what I have said about do-ers vs. dream-ers.

I want our success stories to not be mediocre successes… I want to see average folks, who put in a reasonable effort and investment, to succeed beyond average. Another $45,000 video starring you would be nice, wouldn't it?

To schedule a telephone interview now…

…fill out this quick survey, which a psychologist friend of mine developed… it will give you and us great insights into your "success readiness". It is loosely based on the success critieria which I have alluded to above.

IMPORTANT: There are no "trick questions" or "knockout criteria". It is important that you answer everything honestly and don't fudge anything, including financial questions (don't be that guy or gal who's pretending that their life is a cakewalk already — it never is, including ours!) Also, if you're financially completely unable to cover at least some Adwords spending and an at-cost mentorship fee, please postpone your application until a time that you're financially more stable.

Every application will be reviewed manually and considered as a whole. We want folks from all walks of life, whether you already run an PPC business, or whether you're just getting started.

Here you go:

 

What's the next step?

We'll manually review your application and if we feel you're a good fit for our mentoring program, one of our coaches will give you a call at the times you indicated. Your interview will take approximately 45 minutes from the time we call you to the time you hang up.

It's our goal, for those whom we select into the mentoring program, to make it the best 45 minutes they'll ever spend…
