Just recently you quoted a number of sales already made fpr Blogmastermind that was pretty darn impressive, too ... most of those sales were effectuated by commissioned (decent commissions too, in the 50% range) affiliate marketers which are a sales force by any other name. Perhaps it's a matter of perspective rather thna office space. Can onesy-twosey affiliates be combed through and the top performers trained and cultivated so that they become more like a dedicated sales team? Many folks may be closer to having a sales team than they think.

Many successful bloggers apply this model and it seems a very successful system. They have free educational content in a basic scheme but they offer a premium content and services, too.

I guess one would have to concentrate on thinking through entire sales funnel to ensure that 100% commissions paid for first sale bring you customer that will be willing to buy in the future.

That is a really good business model actually. So in other words all he wants is the contact for free, so he can continue to offer the purchaser new products – with him getting the profit.

I do not see the Starak empire ever being that brutal or ruthless. Selling is definitely a cruel world where 'who dares wins' :) I guess Chet’s model works extremely well for top notch guys and everybody else struggles to make a living.

I'm not sure how far back education based marketing goes, but I have tape sets from Jay Abraham in the early 90s where he discusses those principles and alludes to the fact he was teaching the same principles in the 80s. I wouldn't be surprised if Chet Holmes was at least influenced by Jay Abraham (or perhaps vice versa) since they did do a seminar together a few years ago. I think the concept stems from the direct response marketing movement started in the early 1900s. The concepts of giving away information, samples, etc has been around since at least the 1920s when Claude Hopkins published his book, Scientific Advertising. Thanks for the heads up on the podcast.
