If you have teenagers in your family – child, grandchild, niece/nephew – take the next few minutes to watch this message from me. This is something I wish I’d had as a teen (would have avoided that dreadful hot tub business incident in 1979).

Then, click here to go watch the video at Teen Cash Machine and discover the Employment Evolution and Work Ethic Error – and how it affects your teens.

BTW, watching this and looking through the site – these guys understand teenagers.

Please watch the video now to discover how you can get your free copy of one of my very popular products for building a responsive list. How responsive? I’ve regularly beat out affiliates with 110,000+ lists – with a list under 3000 (It’s not in the numbers, it’s in how you build your list).

Let’s make a difference!

My friend (yes, a real friend – not a “friend”) in Chennai, India saves little kids’ lives. Dr Mani is a heart surgeon who raises money online to operate on little kids with heart defects. These are the children of parents who would never in a lifetime be able to afford the surgery – imagine how heartbreaking that would be (Please see the story below).

Now, David Perdew of NAMS has opened a new giveaway event to raise money to help Dr Mani perform more surgeries (You’ll remember NAMS as the event I went to in Atlanta early this year). You are invited to be a contributor in this event. With all the attention this event will be getting, you’ll get terrific exposure. It’s free, but for just $17 you can upgrade to better positioning and the ability to add up to 3 gifts. Talk about cheap advertising (Only $17? Wow!) And, your $17 will go to a fantastic cause.

Note: Any commissions I receive are also being returned to the pot. I want every cent to go help these kids (see below).

Click here to go join as a contributor now. (Not to worry, if you aren’t ready to join, you can still be part of this on August 20th – lots of great gifts and a chance to help the kids)

Here’s one of the latest children saved by Dr Mani. I present 2-year old Priyadarshini and her story:

Not quite smiling, but then you can’t blame little PRIYADARSHINI – she’s barely two years old! The weak, malnourished girl weighed just 7 kilograms, her heart laboring under the strain of an overload of blood rushing through her large Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD).

The pressure in her lungs had built up to the point where breathing itself was hard work, and she fell sick frequently with chest colds, needing hospitalization once for an attack of pneumonia.

Her parents, daily wage laborers in a village near Kanchipuram, couldn’t afford the expense of heart surgery. But thanks to the sponsored scheme of the State Government aided by support from generous donors, the Dr.Mani Children Heart Foundation was able to carry out her surgery.

She sailed through like a star, recovering fast from an operation that typically will keep an adult grounded for a week or longer! And as the family prepared to leave hospital a week later, the relief on her parents’ faces is silent testimony to the power of your help and support.

Thank you from my heart for making this happen.

Rieko and I get a great feeling, knowing that our contributions have helped save a number of these sweet children. You too can do your part. Trust me, it does feel good. Go to:

Take the $17 upgrade option – it’s cheap advertising and look at what it does!

This weekend, I have an assignment for you: Go to the mall … or shopping center, department store, shopping type place.

And, it’s not just to enjoy the cool, air-conditioned atmosphere and a refreshing summer beverage in the food court. It’s a serendipity walk.

Take your notebook and pencil or pen. Then, without doing any actual shopping, wander through the mall – and observe.

What kind of people do you see in the mall? What is the main demographic? What are they buying? Where do they hang out the most?

What products are hot right now? How are stores attracting shoppers? What kinds of signs or displays grab attention? What messages are being used?

How are sales people selling? What techniques are they using? What seems to work well? What is a turn off?

In general, what are stores doing well? What are they doing poorly?

Follow Up

Then, consider what ideas you can pull from these observations – for your own marketing, products, sales pages, YouTube videos, etc. Make it your goal to come up with at least one really good idea this weekend.

Post your idea here in the comments. Let’s see who has the best serendipity this weekend. And, apply your idea to your business.

Yes! I’ve already charted my campaign for a very profitable use of one of the methods in Underground Traffic Blueprints, and now I’m offering a special proposition to others to help yuo make the most of this great program.

After receiving an advance copy of Underground Traffic Blueprints, I spent a good part of my weekend going over some of the methods being taught in this new program. Here is my report:

Every year, we start off our string of summer festivals (Natsu Matsuri) with the Aizen Matsuri. This is held along one of Osaka’s main streets (Tanimachi Suji), near the large Shittenoji temple complex. It’s a 15-minute walk from our place and a great way to kick off summer. However, every year, we get lambasted by a deluge of rain (this is our Rainy Season). This year, we were in luck. Not too hot. Not too cold. No rain. Just right. Even Goldilocks would have been happy.

We strolled the numerous stalls and grazed with delight. Here, Rieko is eating Karaage (deep fried chicken). This vendor had gone the extra and created Karaage in three flavours (garlic, curry, and soy sauce). A smart move, as he has to compete against a number of other Karaage vendors.

I found one of my favourites, Koro Koro Bataa (round pieces of cooked potato, browned on a large cooking surface, and served with butter) Koro Koro means to roll around and Bataa is the Katakanaized version of butter.

After a few members of the Video Production Lab Workshop asked the same question, I called a quick press conference to provide an answer and help you make an informed decision.
