Kevin used to travel 25-30 weeks of the year in a job he didn’t really like.
Within 3 short months of joining Consulting Tycoon he had secured two clients at $5,000 each, with a $3,400 recurring income.
Now he works from home as an Internet marketing consultant and is passionate about what he does. Check out this interview to see exactly how he did it.
Here’s a taste of what we covered:
- Why consulting is the easiest path to get started in IM.
- How he locks in 4-6 months worth of recurring revenue from each client.
- The “Local Video Method” for securing high-paying clients — it works even when your prospects are “bombarded” by other web companies.
- How long each video should be, what you need to cover, and why “setting up your stage” before you begin is crucial.
- Why people who don’t work with him still personally refer others!

Ever bartered your consulting skills?
(That’s where you trade your skills directly for other
products and services, rather than getting paid cash.
As you’ll see, it can be highly lucrative and lots of fun.)
One of the first website projects I did — back when I was
only charging $500 for a website — was a barter deal.
Here’s the sneaky story:
An old work colleague had just bought a brand new
Yamaha YZ125. (If you’re not into bikes, just know that’s
a crazy dirt bike like the pro motocross riders use.)
But he had a problem…
Right after he bought the bike, they released a new model!
And his wife wouldn’t let him buy the new bike because
he’d just spent a small fortune on the first one.
But the good news is he also wanted a website for his new
side business, so we worked out a little deal…
He would buy the new bike, give me the “old” one, and I
would build him a website.
(He figured his wife wouldn’t notice he had a new bike as
long as he only had one bike.)
So I built him one of my $500 websites, and he gave me
his almost brand new $7,000 bike.
(You can imagine how excited I was at landing that deal.
I still grin thinking about it.)
Now, I should mention…
I couldn’t ride — still can’t — and had never ridden anything
bigger than a Pee Wee 50. And the bike almost killed me.
But boy did I have fun. And I learned an important lesson…
The skills you have can open doors you never knew existed.
And barter lets you “trade up” — getting more in hard goods
than you ever would in hard cash.
Since then barter has been one of my core joint venture
strategies — trading my skills for everything from dirt bikes
to luxury furniture to equity in my clients business.
(Not to mention countless cases of beer!)
And it’s one of the skills you’ll learn in my upcoming
JV Tycoon program.

Just a quick heads up you can now download the entire (MASSIVE) mind map from the original Fast Web Formula event:
This lays out the entire Fast Web Formula is one easy-to-reference pdf.
If you were at the event then this will be a great refresher. If not it will give you an idea of just how in-depth the training was. (Check out my Fast Web Formula 2 Bonus package if you’re thinking of coming in September.)

One of my new students asks an interesting question:
Now that some of the internet marketing gurus are getting in on the local business consulting market (and promoting it to their massive lists) do you think it will become saturated? If so, how long do we have until the easy money dries up?
Here’s my take on the situation…

Were you at the recent sold-out Fast Web Formula event here in Sydney?
(If you were, I’d love to hear your experience in the comments below. If you missed out this time, don’t worry because Fast Web Formula 2 is fast approaching. More details soon.)
Now it’s been 5 weeks since the event, the dust has settled and the “Monday morning glow” has worn off, I wanted to write a quick review and share my experience.
