For the 10,000th time NO!
About every six months there is a big stink about me coming back to the internet marketing training space and about every six months I have to write a post like this.
I am NOT re-entering the training space, period.
This time it all started when I agreed to speak for FREE, with nothing to sell at a local marketing event here in Austin.
To all my fans and former students, I’m sorry but I am way to busy marketing to teach marketing. To my “anti-fans”, sorry to disappoint you but you’re wrong again.
Here are some clues you can look for in the future that will tell you if I have re-entered the internet training business.
1) I’ll ask for your email. Obviously I can’t be a bigshot internet guru without a list.
As you can see there is no way to subscribe to on any blog I have, there’s a reason
for that, I don’t want or need subscribers in IM because I’m not in that business.
2) I’ll have IM products for sale. As you might have noticed, it’s impossible to buy
anything from me in the IM space. My older products are out of date and I am not
making any new ones. The only things I sell are a few eBooks on Amazon (soon to
be free on Google books) I give the few hundred dollars these make to 3 charities,
Kiva.org, St. Jude’s and a children’s charity in Houston.
BTW : There is nothing you can buy from my books either, you can’t even
subscribe.
3) I’ll promote other peoples products. If your are one of the 3 people who still write
anything I write you’ll notice a few things. #1 I never promote anything. #2 I only
write or speak for FREE! I don’t think there s a law against free speech, at least not
yet.
4) It would be big. If I ever do return to this space, and I won’t, It would be big. The
last time I did this I built a list of 150,000 in 3 months, and hundreds of thousands
watched my videos and read my social posts. If I where to come back, you would
know it.
So what am I doing? Import export mostly, a green products manufacturing business, a little local food biz and some software development. I am much happier that I was teaching and I only have to be responsible for my own success.
I do appreciate all my former students who have been so kind to keep in touch.
The thing I find oddest is that meanie bloggers who seem to who want to silence me, also champion free speech. Can someone please explain that to me?
What little I share in this space is 100% free. I think from now on I’ll just talk about country music and beer. Those are the only two other subjects I’m an expert at, and there are no beer haters.

P.S. One last thing. Regarding how much stuff I’ve sold. I have been selling online since 1997, that’s 14 years. My very first company was co-owned with a $500M a year company, so if I hadn’t sold at least $56,000,000 worth of stuff by now, in 14 friggen years, that would be pretty pathetic don’t you think?
It’s actually a much bigger number.
Dude, regarding “meanie bloggers” (ykwim) – how about you join in and share your perspective?
Sure, you’re not gonna be popular with everyone, but that’s not what it’s about. I’m sure I’m not the only guy you’ve helped in the past, and I think it’d be valuable to hear both sides of the argument instead of one party attacking everybody else (though usually justified) with nobody having the guts to respond honestly. I really don’t agree with the way you’ve presented yourself in the past, but here’s a chance to change the perception people might have of you.

Hi Perry
Its a real shame that your not int he IM scene anymore, you were one of my faves and I am still istening to your old products today as I know the information is ever useful. You know, you could re enter the scene in a different manner? You could just post informative stuff on a blog, you dont HAVE to do big speaches and get on the full guru scene, it would be cool anyway, Im always wondering what your marketing these days etc. I know you have close ties with Deiss, so I often check out what the midget has going on (no offence Ryan
Anyway, shame you let a small group of haters finish your IM off like they did, look at Kerns past and he just ignored it and kept on going. Cheers Perry, also miss your snorting in the mp3′s which is really annoying but do miss the good sense of humour and the way Deiss always has to correct you in a political correct way!!
Cheers

Hey Perry,
How are you doing brotha? I loved The Traffic and Conversion Blueprint with you and Ryan that I bought a couple years ago. I hope to one day meet you guys and do a big launch with you. I wanted to show you something I recently discovered about a way to capture tons of leads on Facebook with 60-80% opt ins. Here it is:

Let me know what you think!

Hey Perry,
Somewhat OT, but…I heard you owned a buch of jewelry stores at a young age; would you be willing to share some of the details of what you did and what others might learn from the experience?
I think it’d make a great blog post, and my curiosity is just killing me.
Best of luck w/ your importing business,
Henry
Perry,
Do whatever makes you happy.
I hate beer, but I like you.
