"The challenge of any organization is to build a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another - because the question is not how well each person works, but how well they work as a TEAM!"

The Eleven Thousand

We Re-Visit the
"Obi-Wan Kenobi"
Of Internet Marketing!

June 7, 2002.

It was in THAT issue of the Big Dogs Bulletin that we first ran an interview with a then up-and-comer by the name of Chris Gibson.

June 25, 2003. One year later.

Chris has taken the Internet like Godzilla took Tokyo! Now an Internet guru in his own right, Chris continues to be one of the most outstanding and consistent producers that the Big Dogs system has ever produced. As the old saying goes, "Money talks and b** s*** walks," and as of the end of May, the ol' Chris-meister is walkin' around with...

$11,600 per month
in residual income from the
C.H.I.P. programs!!!

That is an outstanding job in anyone's book, and Chris deserves a hearty high five for this incredible achievement! You da man, amigo!!!

Those of you fortunate enough to be in Chris' ever-exploding downline (which currently numbers over a THOUSAND) know how responsive and helpful he is. If I could sum up the reason for Chris' success in just one word it would be "Teamwork." Re-read, if you will, the quote we have at the very top of this page. These are not just WORDS to Chris - it is his LIFESTYLE - a personal lifestyle that is obviously key to his financial lifestyle.

In commemoration of his year and a half with the Big Dogs, as well as achieving a comfortable (to say the least!) $11,000+ per month residual income, I asked Chris to address the entire Big Dogs membership and offer his personal words of wisdom. So, without further ado, allow me to introduce...

Chris Gibson!

"12:00 Midnight"

"I just hung up the phone after helping yet another discouraged marketer in an online program that was costing her a couple of hundred bucks a month. She wasn't making any money and none of the 'stuff' she was doing was working. I have this conversation almost every single day now. She wanted to know how - how was I able to do what I do and not only sustain it - but actually GROW my team and income month after month?"

"HOW?"

"I remember that frustration - I lived it until January of 2002. But I am also grateful for it. YEP - GRATEFUL. See, If I hadn't been frustrated, frustrated with the lack of information that was real, frustrated with no support, frustrated with the endless hours I was working for nothing, frustrated with having NO CLUE as to what to do next, and even more frustrated for feeling GULLIBLE and STUPID when I knew I was not....then I might not have understood what was missing."

"All that changed on January 1st 2002 I bought the 'Secrets of the Big Dogs'"

"I bought it for 2 reasons: The first reason was that 'Secrets' was about the only thing I had not bought and read And the second reason was that the guy who wrote it was only a couple of hours by car from me and if this was yet another 'shot in the dark,' he was going to sure get a VISIT from me personally!"

"At the time, I was in several "high profile programs" like SFI, Concorde, and Pro-Step. I sank all my extra cash into these for months. Big Dogs was different though - it was about "how" to market correctly. I made my self a deal to follow it exactly. I did. I began to make sales in my business the very first night I mailed through the CHIP programs."

Not a ton of sales - but more than before. I tried to get my 'Well KNOWN' upline sponsors to just read this 'Secrets' book - I was making sales now and it could help others -and I got this response..."

"WE DO NOT HAVE TIME TO READ YOUR BOOK!""

"Out of that old frustration I learned the first lesson that has made me so successful: FIND A MARKETING SYSTEM THAT WORKS AND A SPONSOR WHO CARES."

"Ok, Chris Gibson now could make sales on the Internet - WOW! I dumped the Pro-Step leads I could never convert and focused on my advertising. I had been a Vice President for 15 years in marketing and I knew that now that I was reaching folks I had to be different and unique. I went back and read every single bulletin from the Home Office. I wondered if I would ever do so well that I could get interviewed? Nah...I was dreaming so I got back to work!"

"I was beginning to figure out that the rules of Online business were NOT different at all - but exactly the SAME as Offline. I tested and tested a ton of ads using the instructions and tracking from Big Dogs. I talked to people just how I knew that they were experiencing the Internet with all its promises of fast cash and wealth that just were not happening for them. I made sure they had my name and phone number - that I was real and that they could reach me."

"Before long, about my second month, I had a small group of folks in my downlines using the same techniques I had learned and I was helping them with their ad copy"

"I was making money!"

"We began to grow."

"I was duplicating my success and began to focus on selling Big Dogs only. I wrote a BLUEPRINT of what I did everyday and got it out to them. I tested more Ads. I partnered with a heavy hitter in my downline and we put up a dedicated website of training and information for the entire team they could access for free. I sent out the little newsletter of my own to all my team buyers, Alpha's and not Alpha's and I made sure each person who bought from me got a Great Big THANK YOU and all the support they needed to make a decision. If they decided it was time for them to do what I did I kept in touch and I never forgot them. Little did I know one of them would join a year later and almost double my team!"

"By June 2002 I was rocking and rolling with about 52 sales a month. I had learned the second lesson that frustration had taught me - BE THERE FOR YOUR TEAM IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE!"

"I made my new business my focus, quit my job, and made myself another deal to really work this until the end of the year and then evaluate what I wanted to do. I set a goal of 100 Alpha's by years end. I had learned to add, keep, and train my team to sell Online - some sold Big Dogs, some sold other things just as well using the techniques we had all learned. I had come in to this with 0 in my team. By December there were over 280 people on my team. We were getting NOTICED!"

"I then felt it was time to write a book on what I knew was a huge obstacle for people and that was AD COPY and Advertising. We got "EMAIL ADS OF GOLD" out to the team the beginning of this year. The results have been phenomenal. Several recommendations from Big Time Marketers pushed the book outside the team and now "EMAIL ADS OF GOLD" is number 16 as the most popular Product/Business opportunity at Clickbank based on sales! I get physical phone calls for the link to the book everyday - something I would have never dreamed of! All this from just helping others!"

"That was my 3rd lesson frustration taught me: HELP OTHERS TO SUCCEED BY SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND YOUR SUCCESS IS GUARANTEED!"

"The future is very bright for myself and my team. We know how to market and we know how to train folks so they can succeed. I will be using online video email and links to help the team make even more sales based on my credibility and more support in the way of books and tools to Build, Manage, And KEEP their downlines, build their subscriber lists, while they increase their sales. A whole line of honest and proven marketing "Instructionals" are in the works. With 95% of all Online marketers NOT making sale or money - the demand is there!"

"It is a very exciting time to be a part of the Online Industry and to be helping so many achieve their dream of owning their own business from home - a business that is sustaining and successful. This is how I do it - 3 simple lessons I learned from being uneducated about the Internet, frustrated, and misinformed..."

1. A MARKETING SYSTEM THAT WORKS AND A SPONSOR WHO CARES.

2. BE THERE FOR YOUR TEAM IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE.

3. HELP OTHERS TO SUCCEED BY SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND YOUR SUCCESS IS GUARANTEED!
