I recently sent an email to my list letting them know that I’d be revealing my last secret over the next week or so.
The above video gives you part of it.
Inside the video, you’ll notice that I nearly forget an important piece of the story…
The first person to post what I almost forgot will get a 30 minute phone consultation with me ($250 value) as a prize.

Ross, the past does not equal the future.
You have come a long way. I mean sure you were involved in gangs, etc. You made things right though, right?
keep taking care of people, of yourself, and being who you are sir. you just got involved with Stompernet as faculty, celebrate those wins and keep rising your shining star.
You seem lighter in this video btw. vibrant, more energetic.
be well Ross

Hey Ross,
It seemed that you almost forgot to add that you did immediately go back home to check on your family.
3 Ross Goldberg // Jul 18, 2009 at 2:06 pm
You got it Joanne!
I’ll shoot you an email to schedule a time to gab.
Let’s switch this up now.
How about we take guesses about what my new product is about.
I can almost guarantee that nobody will get it, but it will be fun to try.
Ross

Outstanding…looking forward to talking to you, Ross. It’s been a long time since we last spoke. I’ll go out on a limb and guess that your new product is a self help product about changing your direction and creating a better life for yourself. If that’s not it then it should be. You’ve done an awesome job at overcoming your obstacles and creating a better life for you and your family.

My guess is that it’s a product about Identity and about designing an Identity (and beliefs) that supports where you want to go.
I would think that going from gangbanger to marketing guru, there had to be a major shift in your identity and how you viewed yourself somewhere in your story.
Thanks for sharing!

I will guess that your next product is a specialized marketing training program.
Focusing on “zero in on the most competitive products”, I will guess that you will show how to NOT BE intimidated with competitors and their marketing power. You will guide your client to seek the hardest most competitive market and dominate it.

Ross, good to see you again. I had the answer but got here too late…now I need to think about your next product - cell phones or mattresses?

Hey Ross,
it’s been awhile (JV Alert Live)
I’ll take a shot at your product in the works
Teaching people how to get into the mindset of their prospects and clients. (proper target marketing)
Armed with this knowledge, as a seller you will have a greater ability to sell more products
When you know exactly what your prospects are thinking and what it is that is driving them to make a purchase of a product will allow you to create the ultimate product for your market/prospects
take care
don’t be a stranger

Hey Ross,
Great stuff! I like the fact that you’re revealing your true self. Good way to build trust. I’ll pay a little more attention to you now that I know more about you.
Thanks for sharing.

Dang! A day late (ok, a couple of hours, LOL) and a “guess” short…
Glad to know that you did indeed go back and check that things were good with the family…
Hmmm, your next killer product? I’m going to guess that it has something to do with forming a “gang” to help drive more traffic…
Be Well!

Hi Ross,
I like Joanne’s idea of a self-help product. A “get your head on straight” type of product. That’s not what I think you’ll be coming out with right now though. You have Traffic, SEO, and Social Media pretty much covered. You’ve got a semi-automated marketing product, you’ve offered group coaching webinars. What’s left? Is it PPC? No way. I say it’s a Ross Goldberg T-Shirt design company. You do have some kick-ass t-shirts!

12 Ross Goldberg // Jul 18, 2009 at 5:40 pm
You guys rock!
However, nobody is even close.
It’s kind of an SEO thing, but not really.
However, I feel it’s the most important thing I’ve ever done. The next few videos will give better clues.
I think I’ll have another one up tomorrow.

Hey Ross,
You forgot a bunch of stuff…like you really care about helping others as you did me. Let’s see…
you gave me a free ticket to your seminar almost 2 or was it 3 years ago…which gave me the opportunity to see that internet marketing was for real…
You set up my blog which has made me money!
You’re the person I love to see at seminars because you’re real and genuine and I just love you!!!!
(Hey, did you mention the coma??)
Can’t wait to see your next product…you’re just a fantastic human being Ross…and I really mean that!

Hi Ross - I’m new to your work, but like what I’ve seen so far. I’m guessing that your new product will be an online SEO software/web 2.0 community that lets people work together to promote group and individual projects.
15 Don Dolenec // Jul 18, 2009 at 10:09 pm
I believe what you almost forgot to tell us is that you are very protective. first for your family but also now all the people you teach. Watch over them like a mother bear with her cubs.
Thanks
Don

Ross…Dennis here from Chicago…I had the honor to meet you in person last year at your event.
I’ll take a stab at your new product. I’m going to say it’s SEO along with using social media BUT with a twist. Being more transparent and open about ones self as you shared something personal about yourself in the video.
Thanks for being such a giving person and truly care about others succeeding online. I certainly appreciate it.

I enjoyed your story and look forward to watching the next one.
My thoughts on your next product:
1) Traffic School - even though you are not into membership sites, you have so many incredibly useful videos that it would take months for anyone to watch and implement them all. Internet marketing rules change so often that following someone that keeps you up to date on the changes regarding what to do and what not to do is a valuable resource.
2) For the up sell I suggest bi-weekly live webinars covering the new rules and answering the questions submitted by the subscribers.
3) For the 2nd up sell I suggest 2-4 live coaching calls each month answering subscribers questions one on one.
4) For the 3rd up sell, I suggest personal one on one coaching for a discount price if paying for a year at a time.
5) For the 4th up sell, I suggest a we do it for you traffic machine for your blog or web site.
6) For the 1st down sell, I suggest a 1 week access to the resource site for a reduced price without access to the live calls.
7) For the 2nd down sell, I suggest a one video a week program for a reduced price. Access set up in aweber autoresponder.
8) For the 3rd down sell, I suggest a glimpse into the secrets without the”how to” for free and provided by email autoresponder with periodic specials for the up sells.
Each section requiring personal attention would have a limited availability with current customers and subscribers having first chance to join the tribe.
To Happy Customers,
Clay

Clay has figured out about 10% of it.
I will be opening up a membership, but it’s a bonus for the new product. I’ll end up launching it eventually, but will be adding it as a bonus to some of my other products, too.
The membership is going to be different from the “magazines” out there. I write for Stompernet’s and can’t picture creating a magazine for my customers.
All I’m willing to say is that it’s mostly video based with a community component.
I’ll have at least one new video up on this blog today.
19 Ben Mack // Jul 19, 2009 at 4:48 am
Ross,
Let me not to trhe marriage of true minds admit impediments. You are a rock start and speaking your truth is rocket fuel to your upward trajectory.
Anyone who can’t see the value of your secrets is unlike to be upwardly mobile.
I learn so much from you.
Sincerely,
Ben
