Yes, about 20 years ago I paid Jay Abraham thousands of dollars to participate in his 'Protege' program and I'm still using the information I learned back then.

Now, Jay is giving away tons of his material for free, including his book, which I had purchased from Amazon.

Yes, you have to optin in at Jay's site, but when you see what you are getting for free ... I suggest jumping on this right away. If you know who Jay is, I don't need to say more ... if you don't know who Jay is, you really need to get and read his stuff.

    Absolutely a gold mine when it comes to marketing and leveraging your hidden resources. I've attended many of his programs since 1996, and I've been a big fan of his methods ever since. I've also purchased his Encyclopedia as soon as it came out, I think 6 years ago. It cost $10,000 but it's worth every penny. I refer back to it all the time...it's kinda like my Marketing bible. And the information is applicable anywhere and everywhere.

      It may seem weird that I thanked such a brief post, but I like the simple way you expressed exactly how I feel also-Jay is to me, far more brilliant than his closest competitor. [edit-just read my own post and that looked wrong, because Jay has no competitors]

      That said, I will be a lot more verbose-sorry, I can't help myself.

      I often see Jay mentioned in the same breath as Dan Kennedy, who is a very smart marketer, but there is a huge gulf between them, and I see a mean spirited, smug, condescending side to Kennedy that I never liked, although he is obviously a master of marketing.

      Kennedy often comes across as thinking he's better than others, and even suggested in one of the newsletters of his that I got, that once you know the stuff he's teaching, you need to get used to feeling superior to other people, because you will be-yes, he actually said so, though he might have used the word "better" instead of "superior"-same difference. He often implies in a less than subtle manner, that people who disagree with anything he says, or who aren't interested in his programs, are idiots.

      Jay, on the other hand, would never dream of doing that, and projects an aura of humility, openness, respect for, and interest in others, and kindness, even though he probably has 10x the brain power of Dan, as well as much more expansive business ideas, and a more creative, artful way of expressing them. He's one of a kind, and a class act, and this offer is phenomenal.

      Thanks a lot for the incredible share Joel!

        Are you sure you are comparing the REAL person and not just
        a marketing persona? There is positioning and there is the
        real (not marketing) person. I'll agree with your assessment
        of these two marketers' personae but not necessarily
        with the 'man himself'.

        I don't think that Dan is arrogant even though he teaches
        a certain 'mindset' that could be interpreted thus. Jay
        for sure is the "smooth talker" while Dan may come across
        as rough but I would say that he thinks of himself as
        "superior".

        There's a marketing Ray and a 'normal' Ray. They are
        not always the same person. Sometimes I have to
        be a father, husband, pastor, brother, son, friend ...
        and they are all a little different.

        Talk about split personalities.

          I don't know, you make a good point, and opinions should generally be open for revision, but I have a strong feeling about Jay that his words are a lot deeper than just a calculated marketing message. Part of it is what he says, and partly it's what I hear in his voice.

          I think he's either a kind and decent guy, or one of the world's great actors. Smoothness isn't important to me, but practicing kindness is the closest I'll ever come to having a religion. I respect and appreciate it.

          The personas you talk about, are different aspects of ourselves, but I think they're rarely a total contradiction.

          I could never be as dismissive and insulting toward strangers for knowing less than me about an area I'm expert in as Kennedy, and even if it's an act, it's a huge turn off. If one of your core values was respect for others, then I think it would be incongruous to choose to say the things Dan says, even if it's for effect.

          Just my opinion, for whatever it's worth-probably about 2 cents.

          -Ray Edwards
          I don't know, it's only my opinion, but I sense something a lot deeper in Jay than a marketing message-it's kindness, and I don't care if it's smooth or not.

          He makes lots of obvious grammatical errors, so he isn't that smooth, but of course the content of his message is brilliant anyway.

          What I dislike in Dan isn't that he's rough, but that he's arrogant and disrespectful of people in general. Even if that's an act, it speaks poorly of his values, imo.

          I doubt someone with a core belief that people should generally be treated with respect, would choose to project such a persona. I would find it painful, and not like myself for saying what he says.

          But, like I said, it's only my opinion, worth about 2 cents, if that. You make a good point about roles and personas. I just think usually they aren't totally incongruous with our core values-sometimes they are, and those people creep me out. Maybe I'm naive.

          [edit: sorry for the double answer folks-I think I was getting close to the dream state when I posted this-pretty rummy]

    I study what he does more than what he says. Think about it, does he really expect everyone to read and consume all of that information he gives away as a free gift?

    Ofcourse not.

    At the end he says, "Again, Don’t feel intimidated by all that’s being offered here..." My guess is that he wants you to feel overwhelmed with the amount of information so you will take advantage of what he says next.... "And for those who are interested in direct relationship with me"

    He also wants to impress you. I've read a ton of his stuff and I love it. But I learn a lot just by watching him.

    He may. Jay is a voracious consumer of information, so the notion isn't unusual for him. And, based on his experience, a lot of people will go through every word he has to say.

    If you guys want access to one of Jay's courses, Marketing Maven 2.0, at a super discount price, then I suggest you check out the Give A Little, Get a Lot fundraiser that's going on right now (I'm doing some writing for them). Jay donated his product to sell at a discount price because he believes in the cause, which is to educate children in Africa.

    It would definitely be worth checking out, although it looks like you'll have to opt-in to get more info on it. Definitely worth it though...I'm pretty sure Jay's product is in the Day 4 package (you'll see what I mean).

      I've spent probably $50-70,000 over the last 20 years on Jay Abraham Marketing materials.

      Here is my take:

      The written material is infinitely better than the spoken material. Jay tends to ramble, and he can take two hours to make a point that can be made in a page or two of written material. So I'm a huge fan of his written stuff, in particular the Mr. X book, and some of his stuff on JV's.

      It's pretty much essential if you REALLY want to get good at expanding your mind and your marketing to get a good grounding of Jay's philosophies.

      The difference in my mind between Jay and Dan is that Jay's stuff is not nearly as useful if you're a company under $1 M a year in revenue, Jay's the guy who can help you go from $1M to $10M to $100M in revenue. Dan is the guy who can help you if you're making $50k to go to $100k. And from $100k to $250k.

      While Dan is not the most warm and fuzzy person, if you've listened to enough Jay, you'll realize he's not very warm and fuzzy either.

      I think a master marketer would have to be well-grounded in the material of both Dan and Jay. That's what I've been doing for 20 years, seems to be working for me so far.

      I've been following Jay for several years and was not aware of this latest free collection of his excellent material.

      Earlier this year he launched what he calls "the first four magazines for entrepreneurs and business people on social media."

      These magazines "teach business people strategies related to leveraging Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin & Google."

      In fact, he describes them as "the ONLY meaningful social media magazines focused exclusively on helping small, medium-sized business owners and entrepreneurs maximize ethical opportunities and advantages with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc."

      Futhermore, he has provided complimentary one-year digital subscriptions to the four magazines at his site:

          Wow, great find!

          I consider myself a pretty big fan of his work. I've listened to a lot of his stories and tapes (i.e. married a few times, divorced, icy hot, investment rarities, david hall, mac ross, etc). I don't think he's really a technology guy or internet guy. He was doing a lot of business before the internet went big in 94, 95, 96.

          IMO, I don't think he's still really figured out the internet. His website has changed a few times in the last 10 years. The articles on his old website (circa 2002/03) were great, like 100 headlines, a model sales letter, adapting profitable ideas. There were 10 or 12 really good articles and reports.

          I think the trick with Jay is figure out *Why* something works. I think thats more important than technology or the internet. I think he understands principles much better than technology.

          -I think the audio is sometimes better than the written. He does ramble, but there are some gems in that "ramble".

          In his protege course (1990), he went through his life story for a few hours. And some of the points are profound, I think they come across better than 1, 2, 3 on paper.

    Thanks for sharing this Joel
    I like many have attended Jay's events & often refer to a couple of his books I have.
    To obtain all this information for zilch is unbelievable.

    I think the trick with Jay is figure out *Why* something works. I think thats more important than technology or the internet.
    Exactly! And that's true for any kind of marketing, not only on the net. And people will be surprised how the 'why' keeps changing every few months these days..

      I think Jay is a real master of principles.

      On some of his tapes from the 90's, he talked about how he made a lot of money with newsletter inserts in the 80's. He had deals with these financial newsletters in the 80's. That was the main source of information pre-internet.

      I think he understands how to capitalize on a principle, yet the delivery mechanism could change.

      -Also, I've learned a lot about logic from Jay. He says everything I'm about is "simple and logical". The internet is the perfect example of people trying to get too fancy, they get carried away with graphics, hyperbole, exaggeration, think they don't need a business model, etc. I think good marketing logic transcends the internet. You can tell if something is valuable online or off.

    lessons in what i call advanced marketing.
    Great share!
