To you from Kenneth McArthur
Hey Reader ,
I told you yesterday, I can't remember the last time I've seen
so many problems at once.
Today is scatter brain day!
I'm trying to get things ready for two New York City Live
Events in July... It turns out those are only weeks away!
http://learningfolder.net/blog/?p=935
My hard drive is trying to transfer my backup data and
estimating 23 hours and 35 minutes to complete it.
I'm installing printers, software ... it will be a week long
job.
Not to mention everything that has to get done for Tobri and
then there's writing my new book
It seems like I'm all over the place ...
Focus is a good thing ... Don't you wish you had time to
focus on it?
Which brings up something off the wall that to be honest, I
just don't have time for ..
..
My first big success story was a site called Affiliate Showcase.
I developed the idea with one of the pioneers of the Internet,
Jim Daniels and it was powered by Portalcube which was a
portal system I developed to create powerful portal sites.
When Affiliate Showcase launched, it went straight into the
top 1,000 sites on the Internet and made a quarter-million
dollars of recurring revenue in the first six months.
For years, if it dropped below the top 2,000 sites on the
Internet, I felt bad. It was my solid cash-cow with over
60,000 members and steady recurring revenue every month.
And it was technically amazing, crammed with viral elements
that were years ahead of the industry .... in many ways a
marketing work of art.
It was built on a solid platform which I sold out of the box
for $30,000.00 per installation, plus custom programming
and installation costs, so it was really primed for success.
I kept adding more and more powerful features and soon...
Well ...
It was designed for people just starting out and they didn't
need any more new exciting features.
It already had everything they needed and customer support
was covered by about 20 basic questions. In short ...
It got a bit boring for me.
And there was lots of excitement going on!
I launched jvAlert to an Alexa rank of 362 out of all the
sites on the Internet. jvAlert Live started hopping,
Info Product Blueprint and eventually the amazing
Tobri startup.
So what happened to Affiliate Showcase?
Well, it's still there ...
It just got neglected.
A hacker took out some of our database and I didn't have
time to go and rebuild it. There was a small bug in the
signup process and I couldn't focus enough to get it fixed.
Or more accurately ... I WAS focused -- just on other things.
I should have brought in someone to focus on it, but there just
wasn't time and to be honest, you need to be someone special
to take on a project like that.
And I didn't really want to let it go.
Affiliate Showcase is a part of Internet history and it has a
special place in my heart.
But ...
It's a bit like dating a wonderful girl who you care about deeply.
A girl who is truly special who you enjoy being with.
If you know she's special, but you are focused on someone or
something else, then it's just not fair to tie her down.
The truth is I just don't have the time or focus to devote to
Affiliate Showcase with Tobri about to launch.
And before you suggest it ...
I don't have extra money to hire someone to polish her up and
get her back into amazing shape because every cent I have is
solidly bet on the Tobri launch.
In fact, I could use an influx of cash to add to the power and
splash of Tobri.
So here's the off-the-wall part ...
Maybe you have an interest in something truly special.
Affiliate Showcase is the most profitable site I've ever
created -- at least up until Tobri launches.
If you want a jewel in the rough - PROVEN profit model with
a solid platform to run it - this might work for you.
It won't sell it short, but it will be a solid investment for the
right person.
So why am I even mentioning this today on my scatterbrained
focus day?
Because, two separate people told me today they were trying
for TWO DAYS to sign up for executive memberships and were
hitting that little sign-up bug I was telling you about.
Imagine ... What would cause someone to try for two days
to sign up for a website.
Something is special about Affiliate Showcase, but it takes
someone special to love her and give her the attention I can't
give her now.
I'm not going to give her to just anyone ... she's too close to
my heart, but if you might be the person to love her, I'm
willing to listen, because she deserves someone who will
give her the attention she deserves.
Let me know what you think.
All the best,
Ken
