Get the Attention Age Doctrine Part 2.
Whew.... The day has finally arrived.
The report is being downloaded by thousands of online entrepreneurs as you read this.
I got to tell you, I'm really proud of it. Even more importantly, I can't wait to hear what you think.
To be frank, I know many people loved the Attention Age Doctrine 1, but I was somewhat disappointed in myself and the Doctrine for not delivering on the problems I surfaced throughout it.
But now I am ecstatic because I know I have made up for my lapse. Like I said, I know many of you really loved it - but there's a difference between what others say and how you feel about your own creation yourself.
In the Doctrine 2 I lay out the fastest, most certain approach to growing your business faster than you probably believe possible?
How Fast?
Take a look at Strategic Profits in our very first year we went from zero to over $7.5 million. Or how about clients who have gone from $180,000 a year to $4.7 million a year in just twelve short months.
And here's the irony.... what you've been taught and what you've been studying has probably gotten in your way more than it's helped. You'll understand exactly what i mean after you've read page 80-81.
Yes, it's longer than expected, but only because each and every page is pure gold for growing your business and I just didn't feel right robbing you of any nugget.
So now it's your turn, here's what you can do for yourself, for your fellow business owners, and me.
- Download the report right here
- Spread the word - let your peers and fellow entrepreneurs know about it.
- Comment below - let me know what you thought, and what you would like me to teach you over the next few weeks.
- And last but not least (if you read the Doctrine 2 - you know why) please use the social bookmarking buttons immediately following this post. If you've never used any of these sites - it's time to start, and it would be an honor for me to be your very first.
(the comments I love the most are the ones that are honest, and share the current obstacles you face in applying what you learned in the document)
As I wrote in the report, I've got a lot more killer tactics and strategies to share with you but in order to find out about them you are going to have to subscribe to our feed - (press the orange button or green button to the right of our logo).
Stay tuned, I'll be posting here frequently - and I would hate for you to miss what's coming.
To higher profits,
Rich Schefren

547 Comments to “Attention Age Doctrine Part 2 Released”
I downloaded AAD pt 2 and all the pages are blank. Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions?
Worked for me. Maybe the server was busy.
Bumping my comment up a bit.
Great Report.
Two key points in online marketing success…
Relationshipping is the key. Web 2.0 is the vehicle.
Looking forward to the Dec. 18th release.
Thanks Again,
laura
Rich
Great article - many thanks.
Ditto for me 2. Thanks for the information. I read the whole report, couldn’t put it down. Looking forward to using your strategy in my campaign. Thanks so much for sharing.

Yes I noticed this happened until I downloaded and saved a copy from my buddy. I have to say that this so-called doctrine is not only relevant to the business world, but also the spiritual, truly paradigm-shifting and in perfect rhythm with the cosmos;)
Make sure you have Adobe 7.0 or higher. Works fine for me. on pg 16 so far and cant put it down.
Perhaps it only works on PCs. I’m using “Preview” on my Mac.
I could not open the document in Mac OsX 10.2.8
This version of Mac OS is no longer supported with updates from Apple.
Then I booted into X10.3 and used Acrobat Reader 7
This opened the document with no trouble whatsoever.
All the best, and the report is a huge eye-opener, like walking from a dark cave to open sunshine almost.
Even if you have to buy Mac OS to read it, that will be money well spent. Otherwise go to library or internet cafe to read it.
Now its only missing that Rich Schefren will start to use the brain power techniques teached on winwenger.com for even more far-out stuff to come (maybe he is lol!)
All the best and hope this helps with that Macintosh problem.
Has anyone else received their report yet? More waiting? It would be nice to be able to just download the report and read it.
Can’t wait to read it
Fantastic report. I just spent the last hour reading it and loved every minute of it. Your information was so insightful and thought provoking. I look forward to hearing more about your new product.
Great report. Can’t wait to find out more. Will put the info to good use.
Great read. Got it at noon and 90 minutes later (as mentioned) I’m here posting. Great work Rich.

Well thank you for finally coming out and admitting that the masses are sick to death of the super slick marketing that we’ve all embraced. I definitely appreciate your angle. Thanks for the ideas, I’ll have to see how to apply them to my areas of passion.
-Gina
Rich,
You are a breath of fresh air. The information you share for free is better than most that come with a price.
We offer a product we believe in and want to share. The Attention Age Doctrine 2 is in the process of allowing us to be recognized so that we may be able to reach our goals.
We still have to work hard every day, but it’s all worth it.
Thank you Rich,

Hi Rich,
Really appreciate the extra time you have taken to include actionable strategies.
Mitch
Does the gravatar thing work?
Just Printed out report and made a nice brew, here’s to more revelations!
Rich,
Absolute Genius!
Have been looking forward to this for months. Well done for all the effort.
The download link redirects to the following URL,
where it asks for the Opt-in, AGAIN ?!
http://www.strategicprofits.com/doctrinenew/inter.html
Might want to look into that. Download server overload?
Surely there should be a better message available than
return to Opt-in
Thx
JUST FINISHED DEVOURING Doctrine2.pdf
Finally a report that will massively change the way I do business.
Im glad we are in this new age. It forces people that want to be on top to bring their “A game”. I cannot wait to do business with people that are becoming Viral and WEBMARKETER 2.0.
I cannot wait to purchase the “Business Acceleration” home study program.
Till then I will be re-reading and taking action on this amazing report.
Same thing for me. All the pages are blank. I’m using Preview on a Mac too, but the same thing is happening with Acrobat.
Craig
The link I received in the email /download/ took me to /inter.html which then took me to the sign up page again.
I hope you will resend an email with the proper link.
My name is Brian Fairo. I downloaded my free copy 2 and a half hours ago. I’ve read it twice! It is not only everything Rich promised but so much more! Everything begins from a thought or idea. Thanks to this book ( And just so ya know, I’ve never heard of Rich before this morning!) I have the inspiration and tools needed to turn my idea’s into tangible material! I cannot thank you enough Rich and soon you will see how truly thankful I am!
cant thank you enough for those insights
if i ever get troughto all those myspace blogs and forums myslf
icould get started on having a biz online
to all be blessed and keep up the good work
Exce!!ent. Devoured my complete attention. Sure didn’t seem like a 90 minute read.
Figured it out: I downloaded Adobe and it came up just fine. Tx.
Im on the mac and it works fine if you have higher than 7.0 adobe. I have just finished it. Worth the wait.
I just downloaded the report. I have always found Rich’s information very helpful. Here is a great resource to help take your business to the next level: http://portal-feeder-review.com
If you are getting sent to the opt-in page it’s because when you opt-in we drop a cookie on your system.
When you get the email and return to the site - you aren’t allowed to access the report unless the cookie is there.
The reason for this is to make sure my affiliates get the credit they deserve and to prevent pass along of the email. Sorry but it’s an innovation we’re kind of proud of.
If you are having trouble and you did opt-in, check to see if you have disabled cookies - if you have you’ll need to enable them, and opt-in again.
Hope that clears up any confusion.
I’ve waited a couple hours for the email with the download link and still nothing…other than another email that took me back through the same opt-in process as before. Am I missing something????
For the Mac people:
Just wanted to let you know that I was having the same problem opening the document. Here’s what I think the problem was:
I just “upgraded” to the lastest release of Firefox - version 2.0.0.10 - and I gotta tell you, it’s doing some strange things. Must be a buggy update.
So when I downloaded the report, it didn’t actually appear in my downloads folder. I just tried to open it from the downloads window (which I normally do) and it opened up a “blank” document in Preview, which is the default pdf viewer on my machine.
I’m not a computer guy, really, but my guess is that there is something up with this release of Firefox.
So I switched over to Safari (I had to visit the site again and opt in again, due to the cookie issue Rich mentions above). I downloaded the report again, it showed up in my downloads folder, but Preview still wouldn’t show anything but a blank document. Hmm….
So I opened up with Acrobat (I’m running 8.1.1) and voilà … there it was!
Hope this helps, and thanks to Rich for this 93 page (!!!) report. Best wishes to you!
David
Rich,
I’ll be honest… I’ve only heard of you recently because I got out of Internet marketing over 4 years ago. The reasons were obvious to me at the time.
Getting back in has been a struggle to be sure, but this time I won’t give up… no matter what!
What I have just read is absolutely amazing. It has created a paradigm shift in me that I hope all who read it will create for them.
Web 2.0 is the new future of Internet Marketing!
Thanks,
Jeff Johnson
Great report Rich. And pictures too? How would have thought Paris Hilton has something to do with all this
I feel even more optimistic for viral marketing and glad to see someone at the top who’s using and openly proud of “first cookie” concepts, which reward the affiliates AND the marketer.
I received the email to download the information, but there anything like a download lik or the report itself. Am I doing something wrong?
Regards
Hector
great content as always… question to your firm and you if you got a second,
i watched your videos when you first launched and they were ok, better then average, content wise, but these pdf’s your putting out are hard to read, hard to take in and very elementary design wise. I know you don’t outsource your marketing but it wouldn’t be outsourcing if you had an internal creative team of a graphic designer and a after effects editor for your videos. I just think it’s weird for someone talking about making money, and having us wait a few months for part two of this “PDF”. After waiting the months, we get a PDF that looks like it was copied and pasted into a PDF creator.
That doesn’t work for me
after i saw the PDF, i relize that im not your target market but i was, i saw the whole internet marketing industry as a value to a internet marketer but the guru’s who put out these crappy $47+ packages tought me really nothing but internet marketers make money basically from other internet marketers other wise they would be called founders and would be making more from keeping there clients happy instead of keeping them guessing.
my question to you is, out of the hundreds of thousands that you made from your mentoring and money from your hypnosis business and other ventures, why wouldn’t you drop $10,000 on making the most increadable customer experience, because i know to be fact that i been on the net full time longer then any guru and all they teach is how to make money, not really sure why they don’t get together and do something for us clients,,, wait i found the problem, they call us customers, kinda like when you pay a $20 late charge for a DVD at blockbuster, we are a customer and never right.
a client will last forever
customers are more like a OTO
well thanks for the free info
and have a great day.
warm regards,
mark
also your Trademark 76676494 is submitted totally wrong, look it up on uspto.gov the word mark is way too long
but hey at least you can legally say you TMed that not like other people who put the TM next to anything that sounds good.
Hi Rich,
First, thanks for facing the “Get Rich Quick Myth.”
Second, what’s the relationship with co-attention? Is attention increased to greater levels when trust is accompanied by reciprocal attention?
You gained the attention of the market, but didn’t stop. You reciprocated by listening and then producing. So gaining and keeping attention is highly relational.
Thanks for the report!
Paul
Rich,
Great report as usual! You definitely “feel my pain” as both a consumer who is overwhelmed by the advertising messages AND as a marketer, trying to figure out how to build sales/profits. I’ve learned firsthand what you’ve said about trying to “sell people” on products before first building a trusting relationship. Unless you’re selling something they know about AND your price is excellent, good luck! Your message about taking the high road in building a business is dead on.
Thanks.

Rich,
next time
take $10,000 of the $1,000,000+ you already made and do something that i can remember tomorrow and say on my firms loudspeaker “hey it’s mark cutino you should check out http://www.strategicprofits.com it has a sick customer experience”
because tomorrow i’ll be thinking why are the guru’s treating us like customers, not “CLIENTS that can make a difference”
-mark
Great strategic thinking about marketing in the Web 2.0 world!
However I was slightly disappointed in the lack of concrete steps and advice in implementing the strategies.
I guess I’ll have to wait for the Business Acceleration course for that.
Thanks!
Nick
also, your trademark 76676494, on the uspto.gov website the word mark should be ALOT smaller, one to 3 words not 100+
look it up you’ll know what i mean, tired to email you that but they all got bounce back.
I agree with what you have said. It all makes a lot of sense. I can also see that successful internet marketers have done exactly as you say. My concern is that the sands are ever shifting, that by the time we have gotten to the point where your document takes us, there will be new hoops to jump- I guess that is my concern- if you are not already one of the mavens- you never will be, because of having to play catch-up all the time.
Milli,
It’s normal to have those concerns, but the truth is the entrepreneurs who are successful weigh all their options and then simply proceed with the best actions they can take right now.
I’ve have helped turn marketers into mavens as recently as this past month — so trust me when I tell you, you still have plenty of time.
And Nick, I hear you loud and clear - actually if you are subscribed to the feed you’ll be getting lots of specific action steps over the next few weeks, so just keep your eye’s peeled.
And to all of you who’ve commented, thank you. We’ve already far surpassed 10,000 downloads today and it’s sort of disappointing how few people take the time to comment.
Not to press my luck… but if you haven’t bookmarked (through a social networking site) yet, what are you waiting for?… In the action guides I’ll be delivering it’s one of the first steps you need to do when you are trying to infilitrate a market.
To Higher Profits,
Rich Schefren
Thanks for Doctrine2.
As a future topic for your blog, I am very interested in what you found to be the most important elements required to prepare for creating a “Home Study Course”.
We are in the process of creating a course reviewing the options and tools available to help homeowners stay out of foreclosure.
Thanks for the Support
Alex
Thanks for this. I for one am very excited. Waiting for the link as we speak. Hopefully a follow up comment will ensue tonight with a review and praise.
Rich,
You mentioned that there was so few comments. There are several related to not being able to download and not having the link. Can you have a support person or someone comment on here as to why some of us can’t? I’ve opted in with 2 different email addresses just to make sure it wasn’t my email (even though I seem to get the comments from this blog fine) and still have yet to receive a download link.
Kind of frustrating getting geared up for this release and then sit and watch everyone comment and not have the ability to get it myself.
If you have already opted in and would like to download the doctrine, go to:
http://www.strategicprofits.com/doctrinenew/download/
and you can download it.
HOWEVER, if you have not opted in already it will take you to the opt-in page first. Cool tech guys.
It was woth every minute of the wait rich
thanks
Thanks a lot!
Dam Briliant Chap! I have paid lots of money to other people for stuff like this. Cutting edge and educational.
Thanks form the UK
Rich,
Maybe I should give you a big kick in your big _ _ _!
Ninety three (93) pages of hype, catch words/phrases and little depth.
There were several tidbits, but who wants that? I’m a “meat and potatoes” type of guy…. not politically correct, not afraid of 14-16 productive,profitable, hours per day. Yes, I am passionate about my work/profession and I’m willing to share or give away good ideas to anyone that will appreciate the gift.
Divorce… I have had so many costly divorces, hell, I’m just going to meet a woman that I instanly dislike,then I’ll give her a house, car and $5k monthly alimony. It will save me time and grief.
It’s 5:00 o’clock somewhere in this world, time to relax.
Phil
ps: it is a good presentation, with a lot of time, effort and money spent…. but overall, it misses the bulls eye.
Whew! Thanks for the major insights to building a serious online business. The value is priceless and I’m putting to work what you’ve shared already!
hi rich
- just downloaded your ´doctrine part 2´ - and, this really IS clever stuff you have compiled and provided for free
- so, thanx to you Rich !
- and also, so far you seem to be the first to convey the message, in this way
- … said by a person (me…) - who reads a lot …
- new paradigms in web marketing - compiled and written, both with the overall conceptual thinking behind, and relevant strategic considerations to be undertaken for specific applications
- so - in case I want ´more´ … -
- where do I go ? - what do I do … ?
- 1. where do I go for an IRL seminar for ´more´ ? -
- 2. where do I join and IRL or web-based community with other people recognizing the value of learning, testing and sharing their own experiences with real-world web-concepts within this domain of thinking
- the reason for asking : I have just released my first e-book this autumn in Denmark, in danish language - mainly to ´test the waters´ before going into full-scale
- … and, therefore I´m in the proces of assembling pieces, knowledge and contributors for my next, major web-project
- a project which is scheduled for release within 1-2 yrs
regards

I read the doctrine, and you pulled together a lot of great information! It is going to take me a while to digest some of it, but it makes great sense, and it will work for those of us who are in the service sector as well as retailers. So much of what is written on the Internet is geared only toward retail sales. It is refreshing to see something that will work in service as well!
Thanks,
James
Hi Rich,
Thanks for Part 2 of the Doctrine. I’d like to get Part 1 if possible.
Thanks,
Eileen
Just finished the report…my god, absolutely eye opening. Now it’s time for me to go work at becoming a maven!
Kaching!
~Adam F
WOW …just a short thank you Rich for the report !I read it this afternoon and well be rereading again over the next week!
Signed up for the download three times over the last 3 hours and have not received any email yet. Has anyone else been having this problem?
Sounds like it will be very useful, if I can ever get it
(Started at 11:00 PST)
Thanks,
Ed
I am not new to the internet, recently had a small business site hacked into and destroyed so I fully understand the problems one can encounter. Furthermore,I fully understand the term, “sell the sizzle and not the steak.” I fully understand all the concepts you present and successfully used them on my now extinct website.
I am a very hard worker and am committed to starting over on my road to a better way to make money, especially since my job as training supervisor with a top notch banking institution was outsourced to a foreign country. I have now become financially challenged.
So with great interest and hope I read through your report twice. Knowing how long it took me to do up beautiful sales brochures, one can only marvel at the time and effort you put in to the content within Attention Age Doctrine Part 2.
This is what I came away with…
The first reading>> you lost me on page 89 when you said the costs wouldn’t be bargain basement prices. I fully understand what that means, too. This comes on the heels of you stating your are as close to filthy rich as a man can be. How about ground level prices? I expected better.
The second reading>>That’s when the content became the same type of hype that all other marketers are peddling to get the sign up “with me” deal and “you” will make millions. That is, if I am lucky to get a spot. How is that different from any of the others offers out there? Well maybe, new twist, same game,more money?
How disappointing.
I’ll bet you make millions more, too. And kudos to you when you do.
Talk about a program blowing me away! Swish! I’m gone.
Thank you,
Sylvia
Though I enjoyed most of what I read in the 93 pages, at the end of the day I came away feeling disappointed and let down again. As Sylvia alludes to, at the end of all your pages of repititive excitement about how filthy you are, you put the whammy on us by telling us that your going to charge an arm and a leg to be able to get the info to actually implement your suggestions. Make a boat load of promises, then jam your hand in my wallet for another fistfull of my dollars. The bottom line here is you are not really different then all the other shysters out there in the e-world. What you say about web 2.0 is bang on, and concurs with ideas that have been forming within me for several months. You took those nebulous, incompletely formed thoughts and gave them a form and defination that had been lacking. I now know with a bit more clarity on how I would like my business set up look like, and also how to have it function. One thing I will not do is, is not do what has been done to me on far toooo many occasions…that is keep dipping into a client/prospects not very deep at all pockets.
If your products make the kind of $$ you brag about, the time it takes to realize a profit after your originall investments of time, $$, effort you put into the design, the copy, testing etc. would have to be on the very few ticks of the clock side of the equation. That is a kudo to you and your team. WHEN I get to that level momentum and accomplishment, I feel a better approach will be to allow my dowline, affiliates, PC’s, etc., to have for no charge the nuts and bolts of the set up, but offer tutoring, training, mentoring, for a fee. Many will be able figure out the importance of the use of web 2.0 or whatever is the next advancemet in internet marketing. Many will be in the fix I’m in now…not knowing the what-for on how to actually set up their busines on the net, using all the resources available to them, or even just what they may be. You can be sure I won’t ask for an arm and/or a leg.
Well, it’s been over an hour and I checked my spam folder, and nothing yet…
Oh my gush! What’s a solid stuff ?!
Even if it all seem logical and make (evident) sense , what’s the accurancy, the clarity, the power of this report.
Hey, Rich, i’m not yet in the game but i’m around for some month for now and the only thing i can say is that the power of your report is that you say, you preach and you do THE REAL TRUTH. So, even the odds are with you.
Anyway, you didn’t need to give so much to be a maven, there are many parts of the reports that could be paid information/advice/strategies; but you choose to over-overdeliver and that’s a great proof of your sense of contibution, one more time you live what you teach, and i’m sure that sometimes you do it even without think about it and i think that’s the reason why non only you succeed, but your success will last…
Even if i may not afford your course now, remind this worlds: Your Standarts Oblige Me To Have You As A Friend Before We Die!
So bye for now and God (or whatever you believe in) bess u and all your team & familly. I wish you really big hapiness.
Armel - from Paris - France (now u unederstand why my english is broke
I’ve tried my best.
I really liked your idea of piggy-backing attention.
Just yesterday I piggy-backed on some of the attention surrounding Al Gore’s web site being hacked. With a few simple Web 2.0 strategies I received about 3 new visitors per minute over the last 24 hours.
See my blog for details on what I did.
Regards,
Nick
PS. Of course this comment is also an example of piggy-backing attention.
For Those Who Haven’t Gotten Their E-Mail Download Yet…
After a while, I just went back to the original e-mail I got from Rich, and decided to opt-in again, but when I clicked on the link, it sent me to the download page!
I read somewhere that you’re only going to get the link in an e-mail, but that never came, so that’s why I wanted to opt-in again.
But if you’re having this problem, just go back to the original e-mail you got from Rich, and instead of an opt-in page, it should lead you to the download page.
When I try and opt-in again it still just takes me to the send-a-friend page and clicking no thanks, just gives the email will arrive message. Not sure how you are getting to a download page, I have tried it 8-10 times with different options and have never seen that.
Can you give some other directions on how to get to that download page?
Thanks,
Ed
Rich, you disappoint me once again. Not only have I subscribed to your mailing list at least twice, I am also a Strategic Profits System customer, paying you a cool $400 a month.
Yet, for some reason, you can’t just email me the damned report when it’s done. I have to hear about it from someone else, and then I have to opt in again to get a copy of it.
Is there some amazingly inscrutable logic behind this, or do you just need to tighten up your email marketing game?
Dan,
What can i say… you’re 100% right - in all the commotion, i spaced about the hand that actually feeds me.
A link is being put in the BGS platform right now and will be available in the next 15 minutes.
(In my defense we’ve been talking about it in our emails to our clients and even referenced the release in our Q+A mailing for this week)
On the plus side we did schedule the Q+A call this week for Friday so I could answer any questions any members had about the doctrine.
On a completely different note - I had no idea you were a client. I’ve been telling Brian, in our office to get in touch with you regarding SEO services.
I’ll follow up with you in a day or two if that’s ok.
Hi Rich,
Have read marketing books- (from stores)- with less good information than this! it just all makes sense…..sort of a branding online thing -brranding and trust…..
Paul Easton
http://www.SEOTrainingLive.com/
Hey Rich,
Well, I was one of those impatiently tapping my fingers on my desk, refreshing my browser and pacing around waiting for the link to download the report - and for my part, it didn’t disappoint! I’m about to go back and read it for the second time and start taking notes.
But something I’m finding fascinating is how what you talked about in Chapter 2 is happening right here, right now! And it will be even more interesting to see how it plays out and what you do about it. It’s a case study unfolding before our eyes.
Thanks Rich - it was worth the wait.
Wow! A welcome sales philosophy “Customers are people too.” Three cheers!
Not sure what the problem with downloading this thing is, but it isn’t all “cookies”. I checked, and I do have cookies enabled, in fact I have several dozen on my list there, but still get re-routed over and over again to the stupid register page. From what I read on another site, this may have something to do with my firewall, but I’m definitely not shutting it down and doing a download. I have several downloads on my own sites that work just fine with my cookie settings, and I download free and paid products all of the time, with no problem. This whole thing makes me think there’s something more than information getting downloaded with this report. So, if you can send all of us that are having this problem a link that will work, great. Otherwise I’m just going to take a pass on this one.
Eye opener, Thx!
I’ve got it. It’s here. I’ve read it once, and it’s mind boggling.
Midnight here, so I will read again tomorrow.
To be honest, web 2.0 is not my favourite space. There are too many stories over here of virtual bullying of kids by people slating them on MySpace and suchlike. The problem with peer to peer is that it’s not all sweetness and light, not all honest opinion and not all true. They used to say a lie can go right round the planet before the truth has its boots on - it’s definitely true now. What can we do about that? Any ideas?
Anyone else having trouble opening the pdf? I get an error stating bad encrypt dictionary?? I have adobe 8.
I agree with everyone else who’s reported problems with the download. I’ve tried 5 times and gotten nowhere…
Rich-
Amazing read. This puts together so many pieces of the internet marketing puzzle for me and simply sealed my business plan up perfectly. Now its time for action! I did see the ’sales pitch’ coming around page 88 but hey, we all are in business right? And while I’d ideally like to share my passion and talents for free with everyone who needs them and expect the money to fall from the sky, it just doesn’t work that way. But you have done the best job at sharing and explaining what you will offer in your course without doing a bunch of almost embarassing and definitely annoying sales copy that is so predictable these days. I am truly impressed that you have presented transparency, honesty and trust as core values in this approach because there is so much of that missing from the business world these days.
And I must obviously be a perfect ‘client’ for you because I am in right now and won’t be able to be patient for Dec. 18th!
A couple questions in the meantime…..do you think this is applicable to a direct selling industry to drum up a consultant team to sponsor? (yes, I’m already familiar with magnetic sponsoring but its just another thing on the list I haven’t had time to sink my teeth into yet. by the way, congrats for capturing my attention so completely and fully as I immediately digested all 93 pages and simultaneously completed my business plan as a result!!!!).
Also, I share the concern mentioned earlier by Milli - what’s next? Will I get up on this topic only to be bowled over by the next big wave on the internet? And how do I, small town, essentially ‘nobody’ (but who has some very important expertise to share!) ever compete with big wig, high dollar corporations when they finally figure out these secrets and blow away all us mom-and-pop shops on the internet? Is the goal to get in as the expert then sell out to the big players and retire early?
Maybe too many questions for now….I can’t wait to hear more!
Thanks!

Dear Rich:
Well, I did my “tell-a-friend” bit at the very beginning, and now that I’ve read it, I hope my friends do too, find the value I found, and apply it!
As a relative neophyte, I’ve been doing a lot of research and mindmapping around my forthcoming business, but still had a lot of loose bits floating around. What you said has distilled a lot of what I’ve been thinking into a manageable “formula” that I can start applying immediately. Now, I believe I have the horse firmly before the cart! Thank you.
There is nothing so liberating as having a firm foundation, and your metaphor of a bridge is not only a foundation, but one that takes you from here to where you want to be. I will be keeping my eyes open for your further developments.

Hi Rich.
A great read and, unlike most of the other “reports” that are incestuously pumped out on the web, offers TRUE insights into the factual world of Web marketing 2.0!
To my mind, this is the continuation of the “Permission Marketing” strategy so eloquently stated and promoted by Seth Godin.
Well done, and looking forward to further information.
Regards,
Pete
“Oops” is a pretty good answer, Rich, even if I was hoping for some radical new insight.
I don’t do the Q&A calls much, because I haven’t really had any questions after viewing your material. I like the BGS because it only asks for a couple hours a month, and my time investment beyond that is in getting things done.
Excellent work on this thing, BTW. I can see why it took so long. I’m mailing my recommendation in Friday’s newsletter.
You really should make your earlier reports available from the download page. Anyone who reads all of them and doesn’t want more from you is either nuts, or way ahead of us. I assume that anyone coming in at Attention Age 2 will want to read part 1 anyway.
Hi Rich,
I followed an recommendation from Mike Filsaime and must say I enjoyed the read. I must admit I had not heard of you or any of your companies before though.
Well, as you said billions of websites . . . must have been surfing in another world.
I am curious if the product will live up to the promise made in the final part of your report.
Good luck with your launch
Arnold
Great as usual Rich! Once I picked up the doctrine I couldn’t put it down. Open my eyes! Thanks so much.
Bravo. Wish i knew about you a year ago. This is exactly what I have been struggling to put my finger on in my marketing problems and this really hit home.
Rich,
I cannot thank you more…I am a student of your business coaching and was thinking that this report might be a rehashed version of what you are teaching inside.
I WAS WRONG.
Every word is gold here.
I have never given a serious thought to the concept of providing value in free stuff. I now, fully understand the power behind it and your own results have amazed me.
Thanks again mate..can’t wait for the second reading tomorrow

Wow. Very interesting and informative stuff. I can feel gears vibrating and snapping in pieces as my paradigm attempts to shift itself!
Although there weren’t many how-to details, there is some very good actionable advice and I’ll be acting on it right away! I’ve got work to do…
wow!!! what a fantastic read. I couldn’t take my eyes from the pages. There were times when I had to read things twice to really believe what I was reading.
Thank you Great job Rich.

Hi Rich! Sheer Amazement!
Please could you also help those of us looking for the BEST (online…offline?) business to get involved with…?
Thanks!
Izzy
Great work as usual Rich.
Cheers

Carlos Sagastume. I downloaded the free copy 2 about one hours ago. I’ve read and will have to read it again. It is what Rich promised but so much more!
ok ok … this is the second part, but I wana know where is the first part, help me please !
Thanks Rich
I devoured this report and in my excitement I emailed a couple of friends and associates, wouldn’t you know it they had both already read the report one had even posted a reply in this thread. Go figure! Good content travels fast I see……. Anyway I’ve been furiously researching and writing my next project and this report has made me do an about face with how I was going to market it. Hopefully the delay from revamping the product and aiming it in the right direction will more than make up the time I’ve spent doing it the “Old School” way.

Rich,
I just finished reading your “Attention Age Doctrine” and found it incredibly insightful, almost a deja vu to things floating around in my head yet unable to assemble them all together. The value of honesty and integrity with your client base will pay off tremendous dividends. I’m currantly getting close to launching my own digital product and your timing with this is impeccable.
Thanks for unloading all this info, I’ll read it all again tomorrow so more of it can sink in.
Bill Slater
Rick,
Mind Blowing information! This field is moving so fast that it’s hard to keep up….your report shoots us past the pack. I know that it’s true…very true…and how you put it all together is beyhond me?!
Can’t wait til December 8th….or was it the 18th.

I was referred to this release by someone involved in your Strategic Profit System, as well as countless others in receipt of my email address. While I’ve perused the Attention Age Doctrine 1 and ancillary information, and would have considered the read from virtually any reference, the disclosed and obvious P2P factor came into play in this case. In actuality, I didn’t find the report to be “earth shattering” or contain any “revelations” that a wide-eyed and astute internet entrepreneur wouldn’t (shouldn’t) have already caught. However, even in the “that’s so yesterday” internet world, change truly is somewhat slow (slow being a relative term) by virtue human nature. All this aside, I find your content engaging and a clear over-delivery in terms of the free “information” floating around. At minimum, an astute reader should depart with knowledge of how to mount a stunning campaign. Kudos!
Great report. Thanks.
Great Ebook, Rich, thank you for sharing.
Rich Hi.
Just finished reading Part 2, and although it was 4:00 am by the time I was done, I felt compelled to write you.
Regrettably, over an hour has passed during which I wrote a very long respose to you — but it apparently did not get sent correctly and jost got erased, so I am frustrated as hell…
Noeverthless, and congratulatons on a masterful piece of substantive work, as well as a brilliant demonstration of how intelligent and honest marketing gets people wanting to buy, primarily on the merit of who you are!
On this high note I will hit the sack, but here is a small sugggestion - why don’t you reverse the order of the positings, so that the most recent one show at the top of the page and people can scroll downwards for the older ones?
Anyway, I will write again sometime soon, and I really hope to attend this Friday’s Q &A.
Warmest regards,

If truth be told, the largest market on the web is not porn of the usual sort. The largest market is internet marketing advice for those who wish to be successful internet marketers. Your outline of your discovery of what is now the current proven path to marketing nirvana simply reinforces the true path to success in any field of endeavor: origniality and being one of the very first to realize what the next step is. Only one in a million really can do this.
Superb read! Info is on target and exactly right. Understand this is a heads up to marketers, not a free course on how to do every aspect involved in implementing a successful Web 2.0 campaign. With introduction to a new reality, you have showed us the old reality is, thankfully, ending and a new reality has emerged. Ride this wave or sink!
Thank you for the valuable, and free, information. As azen master once said: correct information= correct output.
Bravo!
Sorry but not much new…93 pages to say quality information with real value is key and a great JV with celebrity status will make you rich beyond dreams. Hmmm, don’t think I need to pay to see the end of this story that has been written many times before. Must be the 2.0 buzz that makes solid business practices seem like novel ideas. Ching…Ching
Hi!
Pheww…I feel like getting my hands on one of those Membership Action Script after reading your doctrine.
At least that’s my impression of having a community…
But then, I thought to myself,”What else is NEW?”
For ages, many profitable Internet Marketers ‘preach’ the importance of trust. Many did not only talk but ‘walk the talk’. (I recalled John Reese as one of them when he stop promoting affiliate products on his Income.com)
I knew about the importance of Viral Marketing, ‘giving before getting’, and non-dependant to Search Engine from Harvey Segal ‘Mr. Supertip’ (he doesn’t have a blog by the way…he own a forum).
And I realize the importance of ‘membership’ after I got a replied email from Jim Daniels (he doesn’t have a blog also…sigh!) asking him about his blog (if any), and he happily pointed me to his monthly-updated Newletter, Bizweb 2000.
So Rich (I like that!), what you present in the report, to me personally, is not NEWS. But it’s a good reminder of how things have change nowadays.
‘Old faces, new stories’
Anyway, I’m looking forward to your forthcoming courses. I’m waiting in suspense…
P.S Now, can I get my ‘mystery gift’
This read was very good. I pulled valuable nuggets from the information that I can put to good use. Each and every time you have a release I look forward to it. Thanks for the information.
Jay
Amen to your report Rich. It is a good thing that you know your Bible.Thanks for making it sooo available for all of us. Give and it shall be fiven unto you, pressed down, shaken together and running over shall men give unto you pocket book. Bless you!!!
Interesting. In small niche sites that don’t peddle the “how to make a killing on the internet” hype, we are making a living through trial and error, mostly error … and it takes time to get convinced what methods work.
So what’s new?
Rich Man,
Good work with the report. You confirmed my suspicion that this ppc/seo stuff aint all it’s cracked up to be. Finally someone is bold enough to speak the truth. I’d like to know your take on building relationships with other bloggers. For instance, what’s the most effective way to build a list of the 100 most influential bloggers in a niche? Say by average no. of monthly visitors? I have a theory on how to approach this but would like to know your thots.
Regards.
