Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim Exclusive Interview
In this letter something special. An Interview with"Mr. Consistency"...
===============================================================
An Interview With Mr. Consistency
Not too long after I started promoting one of my programs I ran into a guy, promoting the same program, through one of his ads. I started reading the ad, for some reason, and I quickly realized that this person was not your normal Internet marketer. He was different to say the least. Very outspoken and not afraid to call it like he sees it. Anyway, I couldn't resist. I had to talk to him to find out a little about his background and what makes him tick. His name is Steven Wagenheim and I promise you that after you are done reading this you will have a very good idea of just who this quirky guy is. For the purpose of the Interview I'll refer to myself as Steve and Mr. Wagenheim as MC (Mr. Consistency)
Steve - I have to admit I was a little hesitant to do this Interview.
MC - Why's that?
Steve - Because after reading your ads I wasn't exactly sure what was going to come out of your mouth.
MC - (laughs) I guess I can be a little out there when I write ads, but trust me, I'm nothing like that in real life. Okay, maybe I'm a little like that.
Steve - Why don't you tell us a little about yourself.
MC - There's really not much to tell. In spite of my celebrity status, I'm a more than ordinary guy. I'm 48 years old, with a wife of 21 years and a daughter who's about to graduate high school number 1 in her class. I'm very proud of her. I wish I was that smart when I was her age. I'd probably be doing something else right now.
Steve - How did you get into Internet marketing?
MC - I lost my job. How else? Isn't that how everybody gets started? I don't know. All I know is that if I was still making $50,000 a year as a QA Manager I wouldn't be doing this. I needed work and since nobody would hire me I figured this was my only shot.
Steve - Were you successful right away?
MC - (laughs) Absolutely! The hundred dollar bills just came pouring from the sky. What are you kidding me? My first 5 months I worked at this paid typing scam. You know, post ads, get paid for all replies. I made $28 in 5 months. I was in danger of losing my home had it not been for my wife.
Steve - So when did the success start?
MC - It took a long time. Heck, I joined 142 different programs since that first one. Most of them closed up within a few months. I worked 7 days a week, 14 hours a day. I was worn out, discouraged, disgusted and about ready to quit. The only reason I didn't was because I had no other options. I was too old to get a job anymore. Anyway, like I said, it took a long time but eventually, with some help from a few nice people, I started making some money. My first month of "success" I made $303. I know that's not a lot, but it was more than I had ever made before. After a few months I was earning over $1000 a month. I was finally on my way.
Steve - While you were making $1000 plus a month, did you consider yourself successful?
MC - At first, no, not really. I was still at poverty level. But then when a friend of mine who I had met on the Internet made me realize that the kind of money these programs were promising wasn't possible without an enormous amount of time and money invested, and explained why, I realized that what I was making was pretty darn good.
Steve - You're currently making a lot more than that though. When did that start?
MC - It took a few years to get where I am now. And yes, it was and is an awful lot of work. Anybody who plans to make a substantial amount of money online better be prepared to sell their soul to do it. It won't just happen.
Steve - The book that you came out with. It doesn't promise you'll make a lot of money.
MC - No, it doesn't. It shows you what you can realistically expect to make within a reasonably short amount of time with a reasonably small effort. If you want to make more than this you better be prepared to get a ton of education and invest quite a bit of time and money.
Steve - Was it hard making the book?
MC - It was almost impossible. I had to first find a few programs that I had confidence in. Remember, I joined 142 different programs. Most didn't make it a year. The 3 in my book have been around for a long time and I can honestly say that if you follow the instructions in my book you will make what I say you can make. It's not a fortune, but it's real and relatively easy.
Steve - What about for people who want more than what they can make with your book?
MC - Well, it can be done, but like I said, they have to get educated and be prepared to put in a lot of time and spend a considerable amount of money. I don't mean to sound cruel but people who want to make money online and not invest anything are dreaming. It's not going to happen. I learned that the hard way.
Steve - I get the feeling that you're trying to say that making money online is hard.
MC - Making money online can actually be very easy, especially with 2 of the 3 programs in my book. Making a lot of money online is what is hard. But there is no reason why every person who wants to make money online can't make at least $500 a month with no problem at all.
Steve - I have to ask. Where did you get the title "Mr. Consistency?"
MC - It came from the program owner of one of the programs I promote, the same one that you promote. He calls me that because every month like clockwork I get my 25 to 35 sales. I'm not always the top sales person, but I'm always up towards the top of the list. Been there for over 3 years now. Honestly, I don't know what the big deal is. I just follow the instructions of the program and do it everyday like a job. I think that's why many people fail at this stuff. They don't take it seriously.
Steve - If you could give somebody one piece of advice as far as trying to make money online, what would it be?
MC - There is no one piece of advice. There's too much to learn. There's knowing how to recognize a legit program from a scam. It's knowing the difference between good advertising methods and bad advertising methods, and believe me, there are more bad than good. It's knowing how to write an ad. It's knowing how to make a schedule for yourself and stick to it. It's learning that you need to be honest all the time. Lies will catch up to you. I can go on and on. There is so much to learn it is literally mind boggling. While I'd love to personally teach everyone, I can't. I have put up a web site that is free. It's a training center. It's not going to make you a lot of money by itself but if you read everything that's there, commit yourself to working 14 hour days and be prepared to go through the most nerve wracking time of your life, in 6 months to about 2 years you'll start to make a considerable income if you have a great product and promote it correctly. Or you can just get my book and make a few hundred bucks a month to start right away.
Steve - Doesn't sound like too bad an idea. What's the URL of your training center?
MC - It's http://clix.to/homebizhelpcenter
Steve - And what's the UEL for your book?
MC - It's http://tinyurl.com/ovshx
Steve - Well, it's been a real pleasure talking with you today. I'm sure my readers will realize that you haven't sugar coated anything and have given it to them straight.
MC - I hope so. As hard as I've made it sound, it's actually even harder than that.
Steve - Not a very encouraging thought. Mr. Consistency, thank you for your time today.
MC - My pleasure. Hope I was able to at least help somebody.
