Spotlight
on...
Jared Crebs
I'm gonna go
out on a limb, here!
I'm gonna do
something I've never done before, and that is to promote a product
that has absolutely NOTHING to do with Internet marketing!
I have been a big
jazz fan for longer than most of you folks out there have been
alive, (OK, OK, no "old" dog jokes!) and I have a
SPECIAL fondness for jazz guitar. NOTHING relaxes me more when
I've been on the computer for half the day and night, than to put on
a nice, smooth relaxing jazz guitar CD, pour a glass of Glen Livet
Scotch, and light up a good cigar. Now THAT'S livin'!
A few months
ago a brand new "puppy" by the name of Jared Crebs was
nice enough to send me a copy of a CD he had done with his jazz
trio. The first day I got it I listened to it for four
straight hours, and to this day I use it as a kind of psychological
"cushion" against the stresses of the day.
(Incidentally, if you like good - and I mean GOOD - smokin' jazz,
you can pick up a copy of this impressive CD at www.jaredcrebs.com
)
After
I originally received the CD, I called him back and said,
"Jared, listen. I've got a deal for ya. I will tell
the rest of the Big Dogs about your terrific CD if a time
comes when you are doing well enough in the organization to
be interviewed for the Bulletin."
Well,
guess what, fellow Dogs...
...that
time has come!
Stan:
"Well, Jared, you finally made it! Now I can say I'm as
impressed with your marketing skills as I was originally impressed
with your jazz CD! On the phone you told me that you felt that
playing the guitar was a lot like marketing on the Internet.
Can you explain that statement to the rest of the troops out
there?"
Jared:
"Well, Stan, I'm 23 years old and a 5th year senior in college.
I'm a guitar student at the University of North Texas with a little
business experience from high school. (I used to sell DirectTV
satellites door to door)"
"I
got into online marketing so that I could pursue the art of music
without having a day job. With the Big Dogs, I have this
opportunity."
"Here's
the reason I think jazz guitar is exactly like internet marketing:
When I first started playing, I received tons of info on what to
practice. So I practiced and practiced, but no results!
It was just like the internet, everyone says to market, but no one
says HOW."
"When
I finally learned HOW TO PRACTICE, I started to have success
with the guitar. But it still took me a year and half of
practicing right before I started doing concerts, getting offers,
and being a professional."
"Online
has been the same experience. Now I finally know how to market right
and I'm only a few months into that. I'm excited to see what I
can do in a year and a half of 'practicing right.' I couldn't have
done it without learning HOW TO MARKET from the Big Dogs."
Stan:
"Y'know, amigo, that's a very good analogy. No one would
ever dream of becoming an accomplished guitarist in just one or two
days - or even one or two WEEKS. Yet so many folks,
misinformed by all the hype that is on the Internet, are led to
believe they can become an accomplished Internet marketer in just
one or two days!"
"I
understand, by the way, that you had been marketing on the 'net for
quite a while before joining Big Dogs."
Jared:
"Yeah, I was marketing online wrong for about a year and a
half. I started off with the $5 chain letter, then the $1 chain
letter, then the paypal chain letter. After no success with that, I
tried posting to FFA's and classifieds with 2 affiliate programs.
I spent quite a bit of money and of course, had no results or
success."
"'The
Secrets of the Big Dogs' has been the real difference between
success and failure for me. From the first read of the book I knew
it would work because the approach was simple and easy to
understand, it wasn't a get rich quick scheme, and I knew that if I
did it consistently everyday, that it would work."
"I'm
another example (of many) that consistency along with a strong
program and good support, leads to success. Stan, I can't
thank you enough for your true concern in helping me and many others
become successful. That's what has carried over into our downlines:
a true concern for each other."
Stan:
"Thanks, Jared, and you're absolutely right. I have found
that, TO A MAN, every Big Dog that has become successful has been
that type of individual who has shown genuine concern for the
success of their downline."
"How
about ads, Jared? I know that one of the big reasons these
interviews are so popular is because all of our successful Alpha
Dogs SHARE their winning ads with the rest of the
organization."
Jared:
"Well, I always try to design my ads to be as PERSONAL as possible,
so they sound like they're coming from a living, breathing human
being. For example....."

"Thank
you for reading this! I realize your time is valuable and I really
appreciate it."
"My
name is Jared Crebs and I'm a regular person, just like you. I am
an honest and hard working internet marketer and I have struggled
for months to be successful online."
"I started out not knowing how this business worked. I didn't know
that posting to FFA lists and classifieds didn't work. I even
followed advice from "GURU's" who claimed they could
make me rich! After a few months I felt like throwing my computer
out my bedroom window!"
"I
was FRUSTRATED!"
"To
make things worse, I had already spent a lot of money and had
nothing to show for it!"
"This went on for months until I received some information that
uncovered the lies about internet marketing and showed an honest,
solid approach of HOW to market online. Here's a free
preview..."
(ClickBank hoplink)
"Have you ever wondered what info successful marketers have? This
information reveals the very thin line between success and failure
in internet marketing. With this info, I've learned to market any
program efficiently and I'm FINALLY making money. (I can show you
the proof)"
"Now, I want to help YOU - the real person who is trying to win
online. I want you to go to the site and read the story there.
REALLY read it. You will find the info that will show you HOW to
get leads and solve your problems online..."

"Also,
feel free to call or email me if you would like to talk to a real
person. I would love to hear your story and share more about this
approach."

Stan:
"Great sales message, Jared. I notice that it has the
same tone and format as the sales messages used by other successful
Alpha Dogs, and yet it is not IDENTICAL to them. Care to
comment?"
Jared:
"Copying
ads will never get results because ADS GET STALE TOO QUICKLY!
If a person can write ads, they will make sales, they will get Alpha Dogs, and they will make residual income - THAT'S the bottom
line!"
"Let
me explain further by briefly telling my story....."
"I
first purchased 'Secrets of the Big Dogs' in September.
Although I hadn't yet upgraded to Alpha Dog, I was naturally
receiving the Big Dogs Bulletin. One
day, after reading the interview on Nixie French, I decided to call
and ask her what she was doing. I found out that she had started at
the same time as me, but was already showing a very healthy
profit!"
"I asked her who she learned all this from and she said Juan
Walker. I called him, talked with him, and was so impressed that I
immediately upgraded to Alpha Dog. From Juan I learned what I
call the 'critical inch' - AD WRITING!"
"Now here's the important part: Throughout my
entire training Juan NEVER gave me ONE of his ads!!!
Instead he had me write my own ads and he would give suggestions for
them. As a result, I'm not dependant on Juan for ads."
"He
gave me skills instead of training wheels."
"What I learned was that the Big Dogs program is so incredibly
effective at providing good leads, that ad writing skills is the
only variable between success and failure. THAT'S IT. If a person
can write ads, they will make sales."
"I
can't say enough about how nice Juan Walker has been to me. He gave
me a ton of advice and help."
Stan:
"By golly you just 'nailed the net from the three point line,'
Jared! Frankly, many folks, when they first join Big Dogs
express their disappointment that we don't, like most other
affiliate programs out there, provide our membership with dozens of
so-called 'proven' ads. I try to get across the point that
this is yet one more 'untruth' one finds on the Internet:
'Proven' ads mean just that - they have been proven to work...FOR
SOMEBODY ELSE! As you stated, even the best of ads get stale
quickly - to be successful, you MUST learn to write your OWN ad
copy!"
"Now
what about promotion. Do you use any other form of promotion
than the C.H.I.P. program themselves?"
Jared:
"Actually, the CHIP programs are all that I use. The FFA
programs get me consistent sales, and the Safelist potential is
unlimited. The more safelists I join, the more sales I make.
I'm starting to get consistent results, and I haven't hardly hit
into Ezine Ads!"
"Now
I am getting consistent results, I know what works and what 
doesn't,
I can help and train others, and I'm starting to amass Alpha Dogs.
With these skills, I am very excited to see what my team and I can
do in the coming year!"
"With
a strong product like the "Secrets of the Big Dogs,"
targeted leads,a good ad tracking system, and effective ad writing
skills, THERE ARE NO MORE VARIABLES. As long as internet marketing exists, there will be a demand."
"There is plenty of success to go around for everyone -
persistence is the key!"
