The $X,000 Business Boost
Two and half years ago, I was stuck. My business was doing alright, but I was really struggling to take it to the next level. Then 15 minutes with Aaron Wall changed everything for good.
For me it was Aaron; for you it might be someone else. For all of us, though, there are times when we just need something to put our business on a brand new growth curve. So what better gift could I give you than a prize package that gives you that?
I’m calling it The $X,000 Business Boost, because I’ve only just begin pulling together the prizes and I don’t know yet just how valuable it’s going to end up being. Check out who’s signed up already, though:
- Jeremy from Wildfire Marketing (the guys who do the 0% website financing) is providing a brand new custom web design.
- Aaron has donated a free subscription to his awesome SEO training — which is way more than just SEO plus a powerful forum.
- ShoeMoney has followed suit with a free subscription to ShoeMoney tools — an incredible array of applications to give your business an inside edge plus another powerful forum.
- Neil Patel is in with a Pro subscription to Crazy Egg — one of the easiest ways to see huge improvements both in how efficient your site is for users and also in how well it converts.
- The great guys at BuzzStream have donated a Pro subscription to their awesome buzz-building tools that will be released to the public very shortly.
Details on how to enter will follow soon, but what I’m looking for right now is more prizes. Do you have a nice prize that would be a great fit for this contest (or know someone who does)? Is there something you think would help you get over the hump, but you just can’t afford it? Let me know!
And please help me spread the word! Blog it and tweet it and mention it in forums. The more people who know about it, the bigger the prize pack will be!
Update (4/22 9:01): Added Crazy Egg to the list of prizes. Thanks, Neil!
Update (4/22 1:51): Added BuzzStream to the list of prizes. Getting close to $10,000 in prizes!

How about a mentor session w/ a successful entrepreneur? Someone that you can bounce your ideas off of or get feedback on your existing site.

Hey Shane,
I think I’m going to audition for this b/c it sounds great. However, in the spirit of competition and for what its worth, we’re willing to feature the winning business on our home page at http://www.VillageVoyage.com. Good luck to everyone & I like the idea.

Hi Shane,
First time I’m seeing this package. How did you get so many top guys to commit their products/support? I’m trying to start up something similar in a different market and can use any suggestions you might have. Thanks!

I know all these guys personally. Many of them I met at conferences like Elite Retreat, while others I met online — both through this blog and by being active elsewhere on the Internet.
That was probably the most surprising thing to me about being successful online — how important relationships are. I thought if there was anywhere you could make it on your own it’s the Internet, but I’ve come to realize that no one is successful without the help of others.
