How Two Renegade Entrepreneurs Are Turning The Internet Upside-Down
With us today are Michael and Sebastian, who have just announced a history-making business that is already causing quite a stir online among internet marketing insiders. It is a business that allows for the first time, English speakers to tap into the 100 million Spanish speaking population online.
Thanks for being with us. Looking over your website at http://www.straightslice.com (English site) and http://www.elsueloquerompe.com (Spanish site)I see that you not only are targeting this huge untapped market, but also you are providing for the first time ever seen, a built-in bi-lingual call center that automates the business for members, an included shopping cart, that allows members to make 100% commission on retail sales, and a feature list that I, after many years in this industry, have never seen before.
But first, can you say, in your own words briefly, why you decided to team up to create this?
Michael: That is a great question. Before we started this, being full-time internet marketers, we noticed a real lack of co-operation in the home-based business arena. In other words, there are some companies that have a profitable business model, but what is happening is that there are only the ‘heavy hitters’ who are making the huge incomes. The only internet newbies that are successful were those that signed up with sponsors that took care of them. This is because the companies themselves are relying on their top reps to be internet savvy. Sebastian and I are great at empowering our individual teams and training them, but we found that other members of the same income opportunity came to us, asking for guidance. So this is one of the reasons why we created this company so we can offer this high level of support to all members (not just our team), and offer more features for less money than anything on the internet; all this while providing training, support, and co-operation that has never been seen before.
Sebastian: Yes, that is exactly right. And because I live in Columbia and am a native Spanish speaker, I know the tremendous amount of opportunity there is in the Spanish market. But presently there is this huge gap between the English and Spanish and by closing this gap there is a tremendous amount of opportunity in a marketplace that is genuinely untouched. We provide a direct way to tap into this market through our bi-lingual advertising co-ops. For example, we are going to be on Spanish radio and Spanish TV, and we are giving members a direct way to participate in that.
So is it really safe to say that this company that you created is really doing something that has never been done before? What exactly is it that sets you apart?
Michael: First off, any big-time internet marketing personality will tell you that the key to success online is about list building. Already we have the first bi-lingual video capture page on the internet that is so incredible that practically everyone who visits http://www.straightslice.com will want to opt-in. The video is THAT powerful. So the point is, that even though we have so many features never seen before in one business, we have a front end marketing system that is designed from the ground up to be list building friendly. It even has built-in Aweber integration, which is the #1 auto-responder service that top pro internet marketers use.
But besides the marketing front end, any successful company will tell you that their success is only measured by the quality of those people that are coming on board. We are very grateful in that we have a Dream Team of fun positive people, who are bi-lingual, calling back prospects for members both in English and in Spanish.
Sebastian: Just to add to that, it is not just the Dream Team that is so exceptional.. we are seeing big internet heavy hitters joining us on an almost daily basis. This tells us that we are doing something right. These gurus see new business opportunities popping up every day on the internet, and they see the huge potential in what we are doing different.. not just the bi-lingual market, but the word of mouth about the quality of our weekly recorded training webinars is really spreading. We have celebrity guest guru speakers who are available every week to answer questions and really expose the mysteries behind why they are successful.
One of the big myths for example is that you need to have a ton of advertising dollars in order to be successful online, and this is simply not true. Some of the biggest names generate most of their business through free advertising. So we have these training webinars that show you step by step exactly how easy it is to do things like advertise on web 2.0 sites like youtube. The topics covered are, for example, how to use press releases, article submissions, blogging and social networking sites like Squidoo to increase your natural page rankings on Google. This coaching program we have built in where, other companies charge as much as $500 a month for this. Over and over again we hear from members how just the training alone is worth the price of admission.
So are you saying that you can be successful, even if you are a complete internet newbie?
Michael: Again, an excellent question! The short answer to that is yes. I can go even further to say that this was constructed from the ground floor to accomplish exactly that. We like to say that we have done 90% of the work for you, so that you don’t have to. Even more than that, members who join us from other programs are constantly telling us how different the atmosphere is over here. For what can be a cut-throat industry, we are getting a level of helpfulness and accessibility from top income earners that is just not seen out there. This support is huge for an internet newbie and means that it doesn’t matter as much who your sponsor is because the company training is of such a high caliber.
Sebastian:
Exactly; in fact- we also have a company web forum that is very active and makes it easy for you to communicate with other members. It is like an elite community that you are becoming a part of, where you have a voice, and you are never on your own. In fact, there is even a category where you can promote other streams of income to other members.
Sebastian, do you really think the Spanish market is ready to explode?
Sebastian:
This is exactly what the Spanish market has been waiting for. The 100,000,000-plus Hispanic market online is more than ready for an opportunity such as this one. People in Spanish speaking countries will be able to make money without knowing a word of English. Just think for a second how powerful this is. I am from Colombia, South America, and the minimum wage here is extremely low. An opportunity such as this can open the door for thousands of people to access money they could only dream of making before, and all they need is a computer and Internet access. There are Spanish speaking people just like you and I who have access to the Internet and understand the amazing possibilities the Internet has to offer. These people are entrepreneurs looking for the right program to help them take the first step to creating their first real business online.
It must be an honor to be the first to target the Spanish market in the home business niche. Why do you think the company is up to the task?
Sebastian:
Well, being Hispanic myself, it is not only an honor but a huge accomplishment since I know the potential this system has to offer to the Hispanic market. Our system is like a dream come true for both Spanish and English markets. That is why we named our group of professional closers “The Dream Team.” They call back prospects in both Spanish and English. This is truly hands-free money if you choose to use the “Dream Team.” Of course, if you prefer to do so, we also have the back office option of turning the “Dream Team” off so that you can call back your own prospects. We have really sought to meet everyone’s needs with this.
Thanks for sharing that. It makes a lot of sense. Here is a question that I’m sure our readers want to know: What are the products?
Michael:
You get two digital libraries: Both a Spanish library and an English library valued at thousands of dollars. These include e-books, audio books, video and software- this is all directly related to getting more traffic to your website and maximizing your online income. We make it easy to access the products with an included online search engine so that if you want to find a e-book on, for example, how to use blogging for profit, you just search with the word ‘blog’ and list all products related to that topic. Then you just download the product with a click of the mouse.
One popular product that you get within your digital library is the full audio for “The Master Key System” – which is one of the first books to fully reveal “The Law of Attraction” made popular by the movie “The Secret”.
Besides the existing extensive digital library, more products are being added on a weekly or monthly basis. This includes exclusive products unavailable anywhere else. For example, the weekly training webinars are exclusive products that have information from top producers that are impossible to find anywhere else.
Sebastian:
And even more than that, you have these entire digital libraries that retail customers can purchase individually via the built-in shopping cart software. This is 100% automated so that the products are digitally delivered for you, and you get paid instantly. In fact, in phase 2, you will have the option to market clickbank products, paydotcom products, and even have the ability to add your own products to your online store.
Can you tell us more about the ‘Dream Team’ call center that is built-in?
Michael:
Certainly! That is part of what has so many people so excited about this! You have a Dream Team that will call back prospects for you, in both Spanish or English, explain the program and generate sales for you, so that you don’t have to pick up the phone to talk to anyone!
Sebastian:
In fact, if you just visit http://www.straightslice.com , you can experience the Dream Team for yourself. They are fun, positive people who are there to answer any questions directly.. and you get a taste of who will be working for you when you join.
I understand that you have an internet marketing cruise planned, and that you are giving away spots to be on it. Can you share more about this?
Michael:
Yes. We are chartering an entire cruise ship and we are making it as easy as possible for you to earn a place on it. In fact, until official launch date (January 15th), you just refer one person who purchases the digital library, and you get a free spot! We are chartering this entire cruise ship for a very special internet marketing event. This will be a great opportunity to be belly to belly with some of the most successful internet gurus online for a first of its kind 5 day internet marketing event. This is at least a $2000 value, because that is how much tickets will be sold for, at minimum, when we get closer to departure date. This will happen once we hit 10,000 members, so we are very excited!
I know that we are running out of time now, but can you share with us how the compensation plan works?
Sure, that is the simplest part. We pay out 100% commission to our members on sales of the digital library. On the retail level you get 100% commission on every product sold, paid instantly to you.
On the wholesale level, when you sell the entire digital library, compensation is paid out on 2 tiers. It works out to around 80% on every direct sale, and you get a 20% override every time someone that you sponsor makes a sale.
What this means is that you just have one person purchasing the digital library, you make most of your money back. Two people, then you are in profit. Then, every time someone that you had sponsored makes a sale of the digital library, you earn a 20% override for life.
Thanks for your time, Sebastian and Michael, you have been very helpful. I’m sure that we have only scratched the surface with this brief interview. What is the next step if someone reading this, wants more information?
Sebastian:
Just visit http://www.straightslice.com or call the phone number printed on this page and leave a message. The Dream Team will soon get in touch with you. By the way, the website is on a rotator, and being a member with us, you have the opportunity to share in the response that articles like these generate. We want to make it as easy as possible to for you to make great income!
