Resigned From StomperNet

This is a quick note to let you all know that I have resigned from the StomperNet faculty. I’ll no longer be doing Faculty Office Hours or writing for The Net Effect.

I’ve been asked by quite a few people lately, apparently there have been a lot of rumors floating around. So here’s the deal – I resigned on April 8th. We parted ways as civilly as possible.

The focus is on the eCommerce community Ben and I have created – eCom Catalyst.

We’re having our first live eCommerce Summit July 2 -4 in Philadelphia. It will be a 3 day eCommerce intensive followed by a fantastic fireworks show at Penn’s Landing.

I’ll post more details soon, I’m looking forward to seeing you there.

eCommerce Breakout Session At Live 9

If you’re going to be at Live 9 the end of this month, I want to meet you!

Ben and I are going to be hanging at the bar playing eStoreOpoly, so please come by and say hi. Meeting and talking with entrepreneurs is one of my favorite parts of live events. Ask me questions, show me your site, talk to me about your favorite beer – I love it.

I’ll also be hosting an eCommerce breakout session. I’m not sure yet exactly when it’s going to be – Friday or Saturday afternoon is most likely – here’s what the session will be:

The Anatomy of a High-Converting Store

Audrey Kerwood will dissect the conversion aspects of a highly converting online store, starting with the home page and working all the way through the checkout process. Learn what key elements your store needs to raise usability for your customers and overall conversion for your profits.

This is going to be a great session and I’d like to see as many of you there as will fit in the room.

The presentation will be followed by open Q & A. You can ask me anything, you’re not limited to conversion, so bring your most burning eCommerce questions and let’s work them out together.

I hope to see you at Live 9!

What Is StomperNet?

I just got an email from Brad Fallon over at StomperNet. I thought the email was so good I’m just posting it to you.

Here it is:

I had a GREAT call with the Faculty last night, answering
questions we had gotten from you and your colleagues.

It occurred to me – based on a number of the questions
you sent us about “what StomperNet is” – that should
write to you and just net it all out for you.

And that’s hard, because StomperNet is BIG.

We know that, and sometimes even WE have a hard time
getting our arms around it.

So today, I’d like to take a moment to simplify.

First and foremost, StomperNet is a TRAINING organization
- we will train you in every facet you need to be successful
online.

Our Library has over 1400 individual pieces of training -
we’re pretty sure it’s the largest Internet Marketing library around.

But it’s not just what we teach – it’s HOW we train that sets us apart.

Frankly, it’s pretty straightforward: some of our most
successful customers are the ones that just did EXACTLY
what we TRAINED them to: No fancy jiu-jitsu, just get the
basics right, ESPECIALLY the customers that were just
starting out.

Our training cuts through all the clutter out there to ensure
that the shortest distance between you and success is through
StomperNet.

But we support all that training with things that frankly, no other
organization on the planet can duplicate – all geared
around making sure that ALL your questions get answered and
QUICKLY:

We strongly believe that STRATEGY is critical to online success:
the proper business model, the most profitable niche, and ensuring
that you understand which are your *money* keywords.

Our 21 FACULTY members build all the cutting edge
training content, and answer your questions via Faculty
Office Hours, patrolling the forums, or backed into a corner
at a LIVE event.

Our state-of-the-art PORTAL delivers the over 1400
individual training pieces, plus 200,000 forum posts that
probably have 95% of your questions already answered (and
are well-organized and easy to find).

And if after that you STILL have questions, we have the
COMMUNITY: other Members and Moderators gladly helping
you out in the portal.

Sometimes you might need more strategic guidance – that’s
where our Professional COACHING comes in – they can
help you either in a group setting via our Masterminds, or
one-on-one if you prefer.

Our EVENTS are designed to support you face to face – we
have LIVE events several times a year for hands-on in-person
training. And we’ve even announced the StomperNet World
Tour – 18 cities next year – and StomperLocal to bring
StomperNet to the rest of the world.

And that’s what StomperNet WAS…for 3 years. And that was
enough for many of our members to build great businesses
for themselves and their families.

But it wasn’t enough for us.

In order for us to stay out front as the leading online training
company, we took a long look at how we could deliver MORE.

And we came to the conclusion that the one thing our members
were missing from us is TOOLS.

So we went and got some.

TEN of them…

…we call them StomperTools.

We hand-picked the Software and tools we considered to be
MUST HAVES for online success and to create competitive
advantage for your business — all INCLUDED in StomperNet
Membership:

• Market Samurai – best-in-class Market and Keyword Research tool
• Traffic Geyser – automated video submission tool to Social Media sites
• StomperStorm – incredibly easy to use split testing and Taguchi testing tool
• StomperCommerce - easy-to-use, SEO friendly shopping cart
• SEOQast - semi-automated massive ranking-oriented syndication tool
• ArticleQast – Send your articles directly to a network of over
  17,000 subscribing sites with YOUR links and link text defined
• StomperQast - Add text messaging to your integrated marketing efforts with this platform that includes text messaging, email, and
  social media
• CommuniQast - Telephone platform for EACH member (not VOIP) – Personal 800 number for inbound, plus conferencing, and
  21 other features
• ReviewQast – Ethical reviews of your products or service from 3rd
  party that get posted to Google Local or other review sites.
• StomperSocial – Like Tweetdeck on Steroids + Twitter Twenius training program

These tools would cost you well over $500 per month if you got
them separately, and that doesn’t count over $1,000 in setup
charges and fees.

So, there it is.

As you can see, StomperNet wants to give you all you need to
succeed with your online business.

No matter what level you’re at, between our tools, training,
faculty, events, and community – this is the greatest Internet
Marketing Success System there is.

Don’t ask us – ask the countless members whose lives have been
changed for the better over the last 3 years.

We invest a lot in our customers’ success.

Very soon, you’ll have your chance to join us and change your future.

And we’ll be offering ALL of this for a price that ANYONE can
afford – you can’t get HALF of what we have anywhere else for
TEN TIMES the price.

$197 per month.

That’s StomperNet – as simple as I can make it.

Are you serious about online success?

If so, we think your next decision is pretty easy.

So we’ll see you on the inside, where we’re ALL serious
about it.

Best regards,

Brad Fallon
CEO
StomperNet

StomperNet 9/09/09 Launch Tomorrow!

Yes, it is almost here and I am super excited! No matter what type of online thing you do, StomperNet can and will help you do it better. The faculty has been expanded, the structure has been changed, and the resources that have been put together are incredible.

I’m not prone to exaggeration or hype marketing, I am truly excited about what has been put together. Business owners of all types and levels are going to benefit from these changes and that brings a smile to my face.

I’ve always enjoyed teaching – it’s a selfish thing – I like helping people succeed, it makes me feel good. I never recommend anything I don’t personally believe in. Those that already know me know that to be true. It’s all about Good Energy!

Check out the launch here: StomperNet 999.

9/09/09

Many of you know that I am one of the faculty members at StomperNet and many of you have heard about the “something” that will be happening on 9/09/09 at 9:09:09 am. And if you haven’t you can check it out here: StomperNet 9/09/09. Oh yes, it is exciting.

Now I’m certainly not going to give anything away but I do want to let you eCommerce people know that I am involved. There is going to be a lot more eComm-centric stuff going on with StomperNet and I am going to be there for you!

If you’re already a member, I am going to be doing my first Faculty Office Hours call next Wednesday at 8pm EST. Hop on and let’s talk shop(ping), I love it and am excited to be working more closely with all of you.

I’m still working on my post about Live 8. It was such an awesome time I’m finding it hard to articulate but it will be posted in a few days. I met a lot of eComm people there – some who I’ve known online for years and others I talked to for the first time. I took your suggestions to heart and am working with Brad and the rest of the staff to make StomperNet more eCommerce friendly. I think you’re going to love it.

Going To Live 8?

Why yes I am.

I’ll be around all weekend so seek me out and let’s have a chat. I’m excited to actually “meet” all of you in person. It’s going to be a fun and informative time. I’m sure I’ll have lots to talk about after the trip.

I’ll be posting updates and such on my social networks, so now is a great time to hook up with me:
