Hmm Ewen Chia was able to pull that off in front of a live audience at the World Internet Summit...so what's his secret??

I heard all these stories...there is no overnight success and blablabla. So how did Ewen pull it off? I'm breaking my head over this.

EDIT...Oops I mean from scratch in the title...sorry for the typo

    Poeple like Ewen can pull something off like that because they've had years to build their business to where it is today.

    The basic formula goes like this: build a high quality informational product+find top affiliates with huge lists to market your product+launch a massive marketing campaign+launch product= $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    1. His secret is he is Ewen Chia who already has a million dollar business.

    2. "There is no overnight success".... I'd remove that limiting belief from
    your subconscious mind immediately. Because you'll continually hold yourself
    back to make sure you don't have any overnight success.

    The problem is your subconscious doesn't follow time. So you can
    work on your business for 10 years and everyday you will subconsciously
    tell your self, "I can't succeed today because I'd be an overnight success
    and that isn't possible".

    Seems crazy but trust me I've seen many people fall victim to
    this.

        My guess is that Ewen Chia , since he is widely known , has a large group of business contacts which he can call upon that can either push his product or promote it as an affiliate.

        It could be something else but that's just my 2 cents.

          Exactly, EC has momentum and therefore "Deal-Flow" on his side.

          Imagine being able to dial up the phone in the morning and have two dozen super affiliates lined up to JV your new product before afternoon tea! Imagine having the juju to be able to quickly enlist affiliates/JV partners that could send millions of emails promoting your products to their opt-in lists. If that is what starting from scratch is all about I'll have several servings, sliced real thick and fried real crisp :-)

          When I first got into this business it was with a fist full of dollars and all the confidence that accompanies ignorance. I bought one of those $10,000.00 Dan Kennedy (Kimble Kennedy) marketing licenses and it was a disaster! Oh but the sales letter looked good --- oh soooo good! What it didn't tell was that the floods of cash that others were so effortlessly and gleefully bathing in were predicated upon them already having large lists to offer the products to.

          I put product --- lots of product and websites --- lots of websites before list building and paid dearly for it. I've since folded up all the Dan Kennedy products sales and I'm back to the basics of building an image, a list and my own products.

          Sorry for the detour but the point being is "My Kingdom For A Crowd." Those that have the juju to draw a crowd whether it's their crowd on someone elses that they can borrow for a fee can start from scratch in light speed.

    The way I see it, 99% of "overnight successes" are built on years and years of experience.

    Once you have built many, many businesses from scratch, building some of them up slowly, failing completely with some of them, being successful fairly quickly with others, you become more and more experienced at starting businesses.

    With that kind of experience under your belt, you see opportunities for overnight success and have the skills to seize them, that you otherwise might not have.

    On the other hand, it is of course possible to create a "real" overnight success, starting from nothing.
    I agree with the above statement that you should eliminate limiting beliefs. So, let me say that there's nothing impossible about it. It's just not typical, is all.

    EDIT: Can someone link to a report on this feat that Chia pulled off? I'd like to get some details.

    there is no doubt in my mind that he could do it, especially as soon as he comes out with a product every major player will promote it for him

    his offers go out to millions of people probably.

    but there were proably some other things going on behind the scenes.

    one being he was probably gonna make that much money in a day either way.

    either that or e had invested a ton of money in advertising and it wasn't all pure profit.

    he probably was selling a very expensive product at that event and that is just the method he used to sell it.

    I do know first hand that if you really sit down focus and work hard as hell for 30 days straight you can build a pretty big list 5k or more recruit some really good affiliates, jv partners, and make around 30-40k the day you launch, but you have to know what you are doing

    so if there was a way he could do this 3 three days, which he can by just making a few calls to his marketer buddies to promote for him and probably do it in a day.

    but realistically for the average person it would take insane amounts of work everyday for a long time to get to that point.

        Here's what Ewen had to say about it:


        Ewan commented: "making eighty thousand dollars in under 72 hours may seem astonishing to a lot of people, however don't be fooled into thinking it's easy. I have worked very hard for the past decade to develop the skills that I'm able to put to use to make money.
        His name is extremely well branded and that had a lot to do with it.

        He didn't use his list apparently - but at the time he made the statement above his list was about 300,000 !

      Some people have started businesses from (their) crotch.

      I was always led to believe that even though someone brings in $100,000 in 2 days doesn't mean they didn't spend 4 years on building contacts, learning the system, etc...

      If ANYONE expects to go from 0 to $1000 in a day then they are delusional.

      Slow growth isn't a bad thing!

      I know a web developer in my area that taught me something once. He said the secret to success and getting things done isn't to work frantically on it, but to make sure you spend each day working a little bit to your goal and THINKING about your next move.

      If you read about a lot of millionaires who lost their fortunes then rebuilt them you'll see they all put it down to their incredible self-belief, business knowledge, experience and contact list.

      They know how to broker deals and get in with all the right people.

      If Bill Gates stood up on stage in front of a thousand rich people and said, "I'm going to start a new business and I'm looking for investors" he could probably raise $80 million in one hour.

    Tests like this should happen from absolute scratch, and if this one did good for him. I have no doubt a person can start from scratch and make this kind of money in 30-50 days. All you need to know is the blueprint, and need to take action.

      He knows the business inside out, he has tested and knows what works and what doesn't.

      Again it wasn't an overnight success rather years of experience and a great knowledge of what equates to success. Along with his contacts he is highly recognised as a successful online marketer.

      The point above about bill gates above is also a good one to can be mirrored in Ewen's success.

    If you had mentioned someone that is not well-known, maybe, I would have said impossible. But, you need to understand that Ewen Chia is a well-known Internet Marketing Expert who has thousands of people on his mailing list. Even if his product costs $1, just 80,000 people from his list buying the product will fetch him that amount.

    The clause that is somewhat controversial, if I may use that word, is "from the scratch". Ewen did not get that list in a day or two. It is probably as a result of building and having a relationship with the people in his list that would have resulted in the huge amount of people he has on his list now.

    However, if it is starting a new business and then marketing to your huge list, of course, it will be possible to make such an amount.

    All the best.

    I don't know what Ewen Chia did but I know what Steven Pierce did to raise $100,000 within a few days at a previous WIS conference. Ewen Chia was at that same conference as well.

    He passed out business cards with details of his website to the WIS audience. They are told they could buy hundreds of dollars worth of material for a fraction of the price and ALL PROCEEDS WOULD BE DONATED TO A CHARITY at the end of the third day.

    So here you are, no list, no new products. Just plain viral marketing using business cards. The big inducement there was that all proceeds were donated to charity and thus the buyers thought they were paying for a good cause.

    Everyone above is correct. there is no overnight success. all it is, is we never heard of the person before and then all of a sudden we do! Then we think it is an overnight success. Ask any one of these guys and they will tell you all about the mud they had to tread through to get where they are. I was talking to Tony Robbins and he was telling me story after story of all the crap he had to go through until he made it happen. One time he flew hundreds of miles to do an event when he had almost no cash left. He showed up rented a car and had to drive another 100+ miles in the blizzard to get to the event location. When he got there he was promised over 200 attendees. No one showed up including the person who put the event on for him!

    I also remember he was telling me about when they did something like a 10 day event in hawaii and he had only 3 attendees! They were expecting over 1000! Most would have canceled, but he still did the event! With only 3 people there! It cost him way more to do the event. But it was worth it. Because those people told everyone how amazing he was and still did the event.

    So just keep moving forward, keep trucking along, and make it happen! Because you will get there, and once you do, you will say "now what?" lol... But it will happen.. and then you will be on your next adventure/journey.

    He didn't start from scratch like he claimed. He made a product from scratch and he made the sales page from scratch.....then he sent it to his list.

    I got emailed that video ages ago and sat through it all expectantly....Then was greatly dissapointed.

    If he had built the list in the 3 days fair enough but he didn't.

    Ewan is a relentless promoter. He makes products and sells them for little money just to get list subscribers to he can hammer away at them on the back end.

    People like Ewan are selling shovels for the IM Goldrush. His entire plan centers around list building and backend marketing.

    You don't start a business and swim in cash 3 days later.

    But what Ewan has that newbies don't have besides a work ethic is an incredible knowledge base of "how to" he had built over the years. And he is a public figure in the world of IM so there is inherent Authority that what he says is legitimate.

    And to be honest a lot of what he pushed is junk... but you have to decide for yourself.

    I recently saw a webinar where someone claimed to have made a shocking amount of money in a short period of time with no product, no website, no list, and no JVs.

    Two hours in, the secret was revealed: he simply emailed a few friends. Not many; ten or twelve. Except his friends just happen to be multimillionaire online marketers with hyper-responsive lists in the six-digit range.

    One of his friends was perfectly willing to pass along a product that was ready-to-launch, while another of his friends was happy to put it on his website, and then the whole bunch emailed a total of well over a million people on their list. But he didn't give his rich friends a cut of the profits, so it wasn't "really" a JV.

    And wow! He made a lot of money!

    With a product, and a website, and a list, and a JV.

      yep - it normally takes 20 years to make an overnight success [speaking from experience].
      But the most important aspect is still and always will be "tenacity and discipline".
      Without those 2 it wouldn't matter how good your product is, how big your list is. Unless your "true", you never make it big. Fasties have short legs.
      And Ewen grew himself by hard work really long legs.

      But, yes, I agree with that it would have been awesome if he picked a random guy off the audience and set it as example.

    It's simple, he has years and years of experience building businesses. Chances are he probably can do it using ppc his huge list or what have you to instantly drive traffic BUT

    He had to fail first testing and tweaking and optimizing. That subject line is for himself, not what the average marketer who can do in 3days. Bottom line is, work hard, test, tweak and constantly work on driving traffic and increasing conversion and maybe you will get there

    Its not that simple. Its a little like watching a magic show. If the claim is really that anyone can do that online from scratch in that short of time (which I doubt it would be) then it would be an illusion of sorts. Robert Allen once did something similar...

    Boasting how to make nearly 6 figures in 24 hours from scratch online...

    However, the key was that he was already well known and he simply emailed a list of targeted prospects.

    Ewen could "start from scratch" using his own name and brand, contact any group of marketers in IM, and do a promo for an offer he created from scratch and produce those types of results.

    What would be truly impressive is if someone went into a niche that they had not been in before, created an offer from scratch, and then produced those results without using any established name or brand.

    Its possible to do some really amazing things in short periods of time... yes, even starting with no name, no product, no list, and no jvs... of course you will have to tap into all those elements as you execute it.

    However, when established names and brands do it they are leveraging more than just thin air... they use a brand and relationships that are already established which is why they can make it appear as if they make miracles happen.

    You could always just try and get Oprah to fall in love with your product ;-)

    Hi Guys,

    At the end of the day, his list which he has accumulated over a span of 10 years' is his golden egg. His products are beneficial to his list and that is why he is where he is right now. I have seen him in person but did not have the oppurtunity to meet him.

    Seeing him in person has change my mentality towards succeeding online. You just have to be persistent and build your list! That's the secret in the end! Not having a website that's on the 1st page of Google eventhough it helps.

    Good Luck...
