Do you know anything about Mind Valley Labs IM Course?

[Paul Hartunian]

Hi Warriors,

Are any of you familiar with a course from Mind Valley Labs called Chain Reaction Marketing? It looks interesting, but the screen shots they have on their website showing traffic, etc. are all dated 2007. So I want to know if the course is up to date.

Thanks for your help.

Hmmm, good question, then (and apologies for having no idea!). The obvious inference is that either they're defunct or not too impressive themselves at marketing, though: not good news in either case?

Paul Hartunian?

THE Paul Hartunian???

I'm having trouble understanding why you, with your resources, would be asking this question here ?

I mean, I don't think it's because you need to know more about marketing -- or don't have friends who know more than enough about marketing ?

I mean, it sort feels like how I'd feel if Mike Filsaime came here and asked if we knew about a product on viral marketing....

Hi Zapseo,

When it comes to getting and using online and offline free publicity, no one can beat me. When it comes to online marketing, there are people who *can* beat me. I want to learn from them - many of them are on this forum.

I appreciate the compliment of you asking if I'm "THE Paul Hartunian" (I am). But don't make the mistake of thinking that I (or anyone else) don't need to know more about marketing. For decades, not a whole lot changed in the marketing world. For the past few years, though, things change daily. I want to be sure I stay on top of as much as I can.

Every super-successful person I know is constantly learning more. Perhaps there's a bit of an obsession there, but it pays off big time. I am completely free to do whatever I want, whenever I want. I thank publicity for that as well as my fascination with endless learning (again, you can read that as obsession if you'd like). When I get together with other marketing "big guys" we're always talking about new things we've learned, new things we've tested, what has and hasn't worked, etc.

To answer your question directly, none of my marketing friends have heard of this product. That doesn't mean it's not good. I've learned a tremendous amount from "unknowns". But I don't want to waste time on something that other people feel it not up to standards. My time is far more valuable to me than money (so is yours).

BTW, if you have any questions about publicity (or training dogs!) I can help you with, let me know.

Thanks for the reply.

I remember a couple of years ago I used to frequent the mind
valley labs blog because they provided some really great insight
on adwords ad split testing stuff.

I have no idea how good their IM product is. However, based
upon what you said though, if the screen shots and such date
back to 2007 I would assume that it's not really up to date.

I've been extremely impressed by a lot of what Mind Valley
has done, but I took a look at their course and didn't find a
lot of value. That's just me though.

I'd recommend taking part in one of their launches to get a
good look at what they do.

Hi Paul,

I'm sending you an email address (by PM) of a copywriter client of mine who took their course.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks. Got it and emailed him.

Guess someone short-changed you in the "six-degrees-of-separation", Paul.

Didn't think you'd have to resort to WF to bridge it... LOL.

No dog training questions at the moment. Publicity? Um. I have no well-formed questions on that at the moment. Who knows? Maybe in a few days? LOL.

(Yah, I ran into some copywriters who did some copywriting for you -- and you were "THE" Paul to me, even then.)
