No, I'm not dead… I just quit!

Well, it's been a long time since my last post, and in that time I've received dozens of inquiries from subscribers and associates wondering what the heck has happened to me.

Yesterday someone actually filled out my contact form asking if I was dead. (No Frank, I'm not dead. I'm alive and well… but thanks for your concern man.)

In August of last year, I left the "guru business" for good.

Yes, that's right… I quit.

I won't get into the "whys" right now, but I will say it was the best damned business decision I've ever made.

Since then, I've partnered with a former mentoring student to launch a very successful Web 2.0. social networking website for network marketers and other home based business entrepreneurs.

It's been a rewarding experience for all involved. In addition to launching the community, we've managed to more than triple our sales revenue by improving conversions and enhancing our sales funnel.

Although I'm no longer "officially" teaching marketing, I will be updating this blog occasionally as time permits to keep you up to speed on some of the more interesting marketing experiments we have been and will be conducting in the future.

For my long time subscribers who have invested in some of the courses I've put out over the years, you will find much of the same quality of real "in the trenches" marketing information right here.

And the best part is, I've decided to give it away for free. No catch and no cost. In fact, I have nothing to sell right now. That may or may not change in the future, but currently I have no plans to sell any of my own products or offer any marketing services.

I won't commit to posting daily updates or anything like that (and why should I when I'm not charging) but I will continue to share some of my best tips, tricks and test results as long as people are interested in learning.

Now for your first tip…

It's the first in a series of videos called Building On A Budget put out by my partner Mike Dillard.

In this video, you'll see some of the things we've been testing behind the scenes to improve our sales conversions and increase the number of leads and sales we've been getting.

This will be of interest to any marketing student even though the video is addressing the network marketing industry.

You can watch the video here.

Enjoy.
