Congrats to my bud Jeffrey Gitomer for hitting #1 at Amazon on 9-3-03 with his great book, "The Sales Bible: The Ultimate Sales Resource."

I'm glad to see someone finally unseat Harry Potter from the throne. :)

I'm proud to say the newest addition to the staff at The Hypnotic Marketing Institute is the great copywriter Vicky Heron. If you are looking for fresh and powerful sales copy, write her at vicky@copywritingspecialists.com and visit her new website at http://www.copywritingspecialists.com

And thanks to Jason Mangrum for giving my home page a new look at http://www.MrFire.com If you want a brilliant web guy, contact him at jason@superfastprofit.com More news: I just signed a contract for a publisher in Japan to release my "Greatest Money-Making Secret in History" book in the Japanese language. "Spiritual Marketing" is already published there and selling well. Ah, I love this. :)

And speaking of great books...

NEW: I have three new books out this month. How I created them is educational and enlightening.

"Adventures Within: Confessions of an Inner World Journalist" is my lively, intimate and revealing true story. I wrote the book over 15 years ago but sat on it as I feared what people would think of all I had done before I got online. Considering the successes of my last two spiritual books, I feel the coast is clear to release this one. Get details at http://snurl.com/Adventures

"The E-Code" contains 47 ways to make money online, and with just e-mail. Jo Han Mok and I began writing this book until we woke up and realized we didn't have to write anything. Instead, we wrote to others and asked them to offer their contributions. Internet celebrities and superstars offered their tips and insights. The result is a massive encyclopedia of ideas. Get it at http://www.pushbuttonpress.com

"Becoming a Golden Master" was something I woke up one day and was told I had written. Donald Kulbelka put this book together by pulling articles off my website and adding original material of his own. He had the idea at the night, put the book together while I slept, and asked me to check it when I woke up. In short, this was the first book I ever authored while completely asleep.

TIP: How can you get attention --- standing still?

The other day I attended a small art gallery party. I had just returned from a trip to Vegas, where I had bought this really cool name tag called a "Flash Tag." I wore it that night. Not only did everyone notice me, but three people wanted a Flash Tag, too.

A Flash Tag is a battery operated name tag-size device that displays a bright scrolling message in neon lights on it. You have to see this to appreciate it. You wear it on your shirt as a name tag. But it broadcasts a message of your choosing. My tag simply said, "Yes, I am Dr. Joe." (I wasn't very creative that night, I admit.) You can program the Flash Tag to say whatever you like.

But the point is this: While everyone else either had a plain old boring run-of-the-mill name tag, or none at all, in walks Mr. Fire with an unusual tag in neon lights --- literally --- flashing a message everyone couldn't help but see.

Keep this tip in mind. If you want to stand out in a crowd but don't want to actually do anything, consider wearing a Flash Tag. At only $100, this clever promo remains the bargain of the day.

I'm not aware of anyone selling these online. I bought the one and only one for sale in Vegas. For details on getting one for yourself, write Ron Frank at mrmagic@columbus.rr.com

And yes, I'll be wearing my Flash Tag when I speak at Mark Joyner's Oct 4 event in LA. Get details at http://www.thefreeagentpath.com/doubleparty.php

LESSON: How can you become famous-- in two weeks or less?

The hippest book I've read in a long time is titled "How to Become Famous in Two Weeks or Less" by Melissa de la Cruz and Karen Robinovitz.

This well-written and lively romp through the world of media manipulation is hilarious as well as eye-opening. Melissa and Karen are two writers who were given the assignment to "become famous in two weeks."

They did. I won't reveal their system here. Their "method" is probably too chic for me and maybe even for you, but their sense of fun is something all of us can worship. You don't need to be part of the MTV generation to enjoy this lively book by two now famous IT girls.

I think the lesson here is that ANYONE can become famous.

Yes, even you.

How?

Stretch your mind. Paint your nails. Wear something unusual. Do something odd. Say something cool. Associate with already famous people. Hire photographers to follow you around. Tie yourself to current news. Be clever. Different. Wear a Flash Tag.

There is no one answer, but if you want some juicy stimulation to prime your mental pump, get your hands on the zippy book, "How to Become Famous in Two Weeks or Less."

Get the book at Amazon.com and/or see http://www.becomefamousintwoweeks.com

Mark your calendar: Jan. 15-18. Major event to take
place in Austin. Details to come later this month.

TIP: Another way to think of publicity ideas for yourself is to look at what retail stores do to get the attention of their patrons.

Back in 1995 Edgar Falk wrote a hands-down classic book on the subject in his now famous, "1,001 Ideas to Create Retail Excitement." I'm delighted the book has been revised, expanded and updated. It just went for sale the other day.

Flip through it for ideas that retail stores use to generate consumer attention, which you can adapt for your own business. For example --

* Use a motion picture lobby to promote yourself
* Hold a contest for the largest tomato or ?
* Run a beauty or baby or ? contest
* Hold a hat, jacket or T-shirt night
* Run a freee shuttle bus as a service
* Develop a frequent buyer's reward program
* Wear a Flash Tag (just kidding)

The list goes on and on. I urge you to get the book "1,001 Ideas to Create Retail Excitement" (see www.amazon.com) and start brainstorming ideas.

Remember, most things done off-line can be tried on-line.

What will you do?

What would you do if you were not afraid?

TIP: I'm always keeping my eyes out for tools or systems to help you get more website traffic, and I bumped into something really interesting...

I guess I should say more like..."Astounding".

Do you remember when the concept "Viral Marketing" was created? It was the hottest thing around.

Well, this website has just taken viral marketing to the next level by automating it totally... they coined it "Automated Viral Marketing."

There's no question this is going to explode. Get in during the pre-launch and grab as big a piece of the pie as you can. Go see ---

RESOURCE: Paul Lemberg and his coauthor have created a unique book --- on how to earn more with less stress --- and they say you can have it at no charge. There IS a catch, but it's one that will make you feel great. Get the book and the details at http://jvi.etambook.com

SUGGESTION: You can make a difference. You can help feed children. Please see this new site and idea: http://www.endchildhunger.com/index.php?308336

TIP: Joint Ventures are the ticket to online gold. But how do you find people to JV with? Or how to do you get people to JV with you on your ideas? Easy. This new service will solve those problems. See http://snurl.com/JVNetwork

Mark your calendar: Jan. 15-18. Major event to take
place in Austin. Details to come later this month.

NEW: If you are in the helping or healing profession --- if you are a coach, counselor, therapist, hypnotist, or any number of people who help or heal people --- the following news is for you.

Best-selling author, self-help pioneer, and legendary speaker Dr. Robert Anthony once told me --

"I will tell you up front, if you are not overwhelmed with clients or customers, something is wrong. This may make you uncomfortable, but if paying clients aren't lined up for your products or services the ONLY reason is because YOU are the one keeping them from your door."

And he's right.

Because I know Dr. Anthony, and because he knows my books on marketing, we teamed up to write an entire manual to help people in the helping and healing professions get more clients.

It's called "Spiritual Marketing In Action." You can read all about it at - http://www.spiritualmarketinginaction.com

Note: So many people have written me and asked how they can become an affiliate and make money selling our ebook, that I'll explain the process here:

1. Join Clickbank. If you haven't joined them yet, you can do it here:

http://hop.clickbank.net/hop.cgi?outrageous/ezsignup

2. Insert your Clickbank ID where the x's are in this link:

http://hop.clickbank.net/hop.cgi?XXXX/dranthony

3. Now send out a teaser or a full sales letter to your list, or to family and friends, inserting the above link (with your Clickbank ID *replacing* the X's), in it.

That's it. Now go and make some bucks. :)

NEW: "Hypnotic Publicity" reveals how one sheet of paper --- a news release --- can bring you fame, fortune and who knows what else. These are new audios recorded by me in Las Vegas. Get the story at http://www.hypnoticpublicity.com/

TIP: Long-time subscriber Juliet Easton of http://transformationalideas.com just sent me this heads up --

"In case you don't want the world to know where you live: Google has implemented a new feature wherein you can type someone's telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and then you will be given a map to their house.

"Think about it: If a child, single person, ANYONE gives out his/her phone number, someone can actually now look it up to find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious, and alarming.

"This is not a hoax. Mapquest will actually put a star on your house on your street. In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to: www.google.com and type your phone number in the search bar with dashes (i.e. 555-555-1212) and hit enter.

"NOTE: If your phone number is not publicly listed, you should be fine. If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your private information, simply click on the telephone icon next to your phone number. You will see a link where you are allowed to REMOVE yourself."

Thank you, Juliet.

INSPIRING: I love receiving email like this:

"I bought your book 'The Greatest Money- Making Secret in History.' I read the book and have to say that it cleared many questions that I had in mind about giving.

"I understand the principles much better now and I am beginning to see results. One of my friends is very intellectual and likes to learn about evolution. I saw a video set on evolution that he was talking about in a store the other day. The first thing that came to my mind was that my friend would love it. Then, I thought, why not gift it to him? And I did it.

"After he received the package, he called me to thank me for it. After that I was never in touch with him again. He called me last week and asked me to work on a project. The project is worth $112,000!!!" -- Vj Mariaraj

Ah yes, the power of giving.

NEW: Dr. Robert Anthony's book, "Advanced Formula For Total Success," is one of the few books I recommend in the back of my #1 bestseller, "Spiritual Marketing." You can now get an up-dated version of it, as well as his entire success library and a new "Rapid Manifesting" audio by him, at http://www.total-success-4u.com

TIP: I'm not a big fan of subliminal tapes but subliminal software could be a powerful way to install your goals right inside your brain. There are at least two programs that do this:

http://snurl.com/flowgoal

http://snurl.com/sublim

Both software come with pre-written affirmations, but you can also edit and add your own statements.

I just did that this morning. Since I have to look at my monitor for hours at a time anyway, why not let it feed me my goal statements and any other affirmations I want --- and do it where it counts, right below my conscious awareness?

Check it out.

RELIEF: Most of you know my ex-wife was in a near-fatal car accident a year ago. She is doing much better these days, thanks to a body worker in Houston who apparently performs near-miracles. She says one session with him and her body felt better than it had in over a year. That's saying a lot, as she had a broken back and just had both knees replaced. See - http://www.NaturalHealingandMassageCenter.com

WARNING: Every day, thousands of PCs contract a virus. Untold weeks of work are lost forever. Thousands more PCs are hacked. Personal information is copied by identity thieves. Credit Card numbers are stolen by fraudsters. What can you do about it? Relax. Here's relief. I found this resource helpful: PC-Security-Secrets.com.

* Finally, my dear friennd Peter Wink---the man directly responsible for making me a best-selling Nightingale-Conant author---finally has his own book out. (I wrote the foreword to it.) It's titled "Negotiate Your Way to Riches: How to Convince Others to Give You What You Want." Check it out at http://www.amazon.com

Until next month, consider…

"Every time you ask, 'Why me?' you assume you are a victim. All 'Why me?' questions move you further away from the solution."
