The Internet Marketing blog of Mike Merz, Internet Marketing consultant, in regards to what's hot ... and what's not, in the world of Internet Marketing.
... and what's his
JV (Joint Venture) Formula?

Crazy Internet Marketer Roams L.A., Terrorizing
Unsuspecting "Guru's"!
Ok, maybe not exactly "terrorizing", but
Sterling Valentine is at it again - this time
storming the hallways and meeting rooms
of Mark Victor Hansen's Mega Marketing Magic
Conference with his video camera, grabbing
interviews with the JV experts for his
upcoming DVD/CD mega-infoproduct,
I mean, is this guy nuts? He fired all of
his clients, sold just about everything
he owns, bought a video camera and
took off on "the mother of all road trips"
just to meet the world's Top JV Masterminds -
and REALLY ticked off his girlfriend in the
process. (Apparently, he didn't consult her
beforehand, so he may not have a condo
back in Philly to come home to!)
He's been living on a diet of ramen noodles
at home (he says they're the cheapest) and
Ensure protein shakes on the road (he says
they're the most portable to carry and quickest
to drink between interviews). He hasn't slept
in days, is almost broke and is marching up
to the top names in the internet marketing
world out of the blue with his camera to ask
for an exclusive interview - is he insane?
Frankly, I'm not sure if he's a genius or a
lunatic (or maybe a little bit of both), but
get this: he just got an exclusive video
interview with Mike Filsaime from Butterfly
Marketing, and he's going to post a clip from
it within the next day or two. He says Mike
revealed some exclusive tricks and tactics
used to sell 1.5 million dollars of Butterfly
in under 30 days, and that some of the
infomation he squeezed out of Mike has
never been revealed before in public.
Maybe the sleep deprivation has gotten to
him and he just scared it out of Mike!
Sterling's already gotten clobbered by bandwidth
charges on the videos he's put up so far-
a 9,006 Alexa ranking will do that to you -
so he said he's only going to keep the
Mike Filsaime clip up for 24 hours max,
and then he's taking it down to save money,
which I can understand. Between gear, tape,
plane tickets and hotel rooms, Sterling is
burning through cash on this project, and
his savings is close to depleted.
ASAP so you can get notified when the
Mike Filsaime clip goes live. I have a feeling
that if you wait to sign up, you'll miss the
notification email. He said he's going to
post the clip outside of his usual blog for
server traffic reasons, so if you miss the
email announcement, you'll probably never
