But first...

Thank you for helping Chip Tarver, who was in an auto accident where his wife was killed. He can't move the right side of his body yet, but his spirit, in general, is strong. Still...

He has been hit with $12,500 in medical and funeral bills. He still needs your help.

If you'd like to send him a gift, see http://mrfire.com/forchip.html

I love how you are willing to help people. That's the beauty of the Internet, and of the good people on my email list.

Thank you.

The Internet, as one person told me, is just a giant family, connected by email. I couldn't agree more.

And now to this month's news...

CORRECTION: If you tried to fill out the application for my Executive Mentoring Program and it didn't work for you, you can try again right now. Click here for details.

REMEMBER: If you haven't circled April 5th on your calendar yet, what are you waiting for? Go do it NOW. For a sneak peek at what will happen on that date, see http://www.AttractorFactor.com

QUESTION: Is it true that you only use 10% of your brain?

No.

According to the book "Mind Hacks," the often quoted statement that we only use a tiny portion of our brain power is not in any way, shape, or form based in fact. Yet the myth has been used to sell self-help stuff since 1929. It's an appealing lure, but not a factual one.

For more gems, insights, and tips on how to use your brain, get "Mind Hacks" from Tom Stafford and Matt Web. I found it fascinating. It's at Amazon or from http://www.oreilly.com

QUIZ: If you want to write an e-book but haven't yet; If you've written one but haven't marketed it yet; or if you are still not achieving any goal that you say you really want, then take the 3-minute quiz at http://www.EndSelfSabotage.com and see how self sabotage may be unknowingly stopping you. The results could be eye-opening. Go see.

GIFT: If you haven't received your copy of my CD called "The Challenge," take one minute and request one at http://www.TheChallengeCD.COM

Note: If you have security concerns on the order page or if your order is declined on the order form, you can still get the CD by sending $3.95 (for shipping & handling) via www.Paypal.com to Joe@SuccessAccess.com Either way, get a copy of "The Challenge" CD. It contains an inspiring message for you.

CONSIDER: What are you attracting into your life? Would you like to attract a brand new car? You would? Then go to this site and enter the New Car Challenge. See http://www.AttractorFactor.com

OUTRAGEOUS: Who's the most outrageous marketer alive? Cast your vote and learn about my upcoming event June 24-26 in San Antonio, Texas by going to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=54209880221

NEW: The "30 Day Experiment" is now live at http://www.IntentionalMeditationFoundation.com

CASE STUDY: I received an oversized envelope from BioTech Research one day. Since I know I can learn something from every piece of snail mail (or email) I get, I opened it. I was delighted to see the name Benjamin Suarez on it.

Suarez is an old-school direct marketer. He's known for long letters packed with facts. He wrote a great book years ago, called "Seven steps to Freedom." I'm a fan, a student, and a customer of his.

His current letter was for the ProZone, a new type of air purifier. While I admit I still don't understand how the device works, I was intrigued enough to order it.

Now here's the good part.

A few days after I ordered it, his office called me. A delightful woman, obviously reading a scripted sales presentation, invited me to order "up to 3" more units at a discounted price.

Normally I hang up on sales calls. But I'm learning that I can gain something from them, just as I can from email and snail mail, too. So I listened.

And I bought another unit.

I asked the saleswoman if people were buying a lot more units due to her calling. She excitedly said,"Oh yes! Some people who already ordered three units go ahead and order ANOTHER three more with our follow-up offer."

Then she added, "How many more do YOU want?"

I stuck with my one more unit, which was still a successful upsell.

Upselling is a brilliant way to capture more sales. The people buying from you already have their credit card out. They're already sold. They've already said yes. All you are doing now is offering something more while the getting/selling/serving is good.

How can you use this strategy?

Whenever someone buys from you, ask (essentially) "Do you want fries with that?"

If you're selling a lot of digital information, like I do, you can put your added offer on the final order page, or you can send a follow-up email after they buy.

Learn from Suarez.

I am.

You can get his book, "Seven Steps to Freedom," from www.Amazon.com

Note: Do his air purifiers work? The unit is noisier than what I expected, but I like them so much that I ordered a third one, to go in my new gym. So yes, I'd say they work. Order one from 1-800-466-7688. (I don't make a dime from any sales.)

HYPNOTIC: The most hypnotic book I read last month was "The Spiritual Journey of Joseph L. Greenstein" by Ed Spielman.

It's the true story of the world's strongest man, called The Mighty Atom. I loved this adventure story. I read it to keep my inspiration high for my fitness goals, but I absorbed more about determination, the power of your word, and the thrill of doing what others declare is impossible. The book is packed with gems, nuggets, insights, and just fun, juicy stories, too.

Whenever I read something that captivates me, I stop and ask myself how that happened.

What did the author do to keep my interest?

Often it's a well crafted sentence.

Or interesting dialogue.

Or a story well told.

I suggest you go through this same process whenever you look up from reading something and suddenly realize an hour passed.

You were reading Hypnotic Writing.

Go back and read it again, this time asking yourself "Why is this writing so good?"

Spielman's book, to me, is hypnotic. It's written by the creator of the original 'Kung Fu' TV series, which may account for it's brisk style and deep messages.

The book is hard to find. But here's a secret: You can still get a copy from http://www.IronMind.com

TRIVIA? At last count, 812,000,000 people are now online worldwide (Internet World Stats, Sept. 2004), with Asia claiming most users, and China, with close to 100 million online, having more online citizens than any other nation except the USA.

RESOURCE: One of the best online resources for old ads and sales letters that are priceless is at http://ultimate-online-swipe-file.com/joe778.htm

ODD: Someone sent me information about their new book, titled "How to Legally Escape from an American Prison." The title is a stopper, for sure. But whoever wrote it is *in* prison, so I'm wondering if the book delivers or not. I haven't seen it, but look for it at http://www.AuthorHouse.com

PERSONAL: When Marian died last October, I brought her / our kitties here to my home. I ended up needing to build a unique enclosure for them, which we call a "Catarium." For the story on this Kitty World, and to see pictures of it, see http://www.Catarium.com

Until next month, consider...
