Joshua Persky...Who? He did... What?

A friend of mine, Gail Walker, just wrote a blog about a man named Joshua Persky. When I was told about it, I said.. "Joshua Persky... Who?" "He did...What?" I had never ever heard of this man, but what I've learned since then is that Joshua Persky, according to the article I read in USA Today is "an unemployed banker (that) has taken to the streets of Manhattan — wearing a pinstriped suit and an "MIT Graduate for Hire" sign draped over his shoulders." According to Gail's blog post, "Persky went the normal route of submitting his resume to head hunters and human resource depts. without success. Then out of desperation Persky started to think out of the box. He shows up on Park Avenue in New York one day wearing a sandwich board that said “Experienced MIT Grad for Hire” with his name and contact information. Needless to say Persky caught the attention of all the major newspapers, and all the major news channels. He was interviewed on all the morning news shows like Good Morning America, Good Day New York as well as the national evening news."

Apparently, what Joshua is doing that has generated such a frenzy of interest by the media is not only his particular story, but also his unique form of advertising. When I read the story, there were two particular aspects of it that immediately caught my attention: 1. The fact that Joshua Persky needs an immediate, substantial income source. 2. Joshua Persky needs a more effective form of advertising. Now the 20 million dollar question is: Which of these two points can I help him with? The answer? Actually both.

Point 1 - The Immediate Income Source - Joshua Persky's story gives evidence to the reality that in today's economy, EVERYBODY NEEDS A PLAN B. Joshua had a wonderful Plan A. He went to one of the top schools in the country, graduated most likely with honors, and got a good job in his field. That was his Plan A, and it worked! But having only a Plan A was the problem. Joshua had failed to put in place Plan B.

I have a friend who also graduated from MIT and who had a great job in Corporate America in Engineering. My friend also put his Plan B in place, and now he's well on his way to earning a six-figure RESIDUAL income. His Plan B is also mine: The YTB Travel Network and YTB Travel and Cruises (YTB). YTB is a publicly traded company that is already number one in the industry, and on target to become the largest online travel company in the world within the next few years. YTB is all about travel. You can make just about any travel arrangements that you choose on our YTB Travel website. I am a YTB Referring Travel Agent (RTA), and as an RTA, my customers can make arrangements for their airfare, car rental, hotel, cruise, golf vacations, you name it, on my website. In fact, you can book your travels right here. If Joshua Persky owned a YTB Travel Business, any travel booked on his website, would earn him 60% of the travel commissions. If Joshua knows people who are traveling already, he can earn some serious money through his booking engine, whether or not he personally had anything to do with scheduling the trip or not, as long as it was booked on his website.

But that's only one way that Joshua could benefit from YTB. Suppose Joshua cannot afford to join YTB and pay for his booking engine? YTB has the answer for that too. The YTB business opportunity is actually TWO businesses in one, and only the travel business has a fee. The other business is all about relationships, networks and networking. Joshua was a banker. No doubt, while working in banking he met a lot of people who are searching for an opportunity like YTB. Joshua probably knows people who would love to own their own travel booking engine that would allow them to vacation around the world paying wholesale prices, get paid on their own travels and on the travels of everyone who books travel through them or on their website, and that allows them to write off every trip, including personal vacations that they take. If Joshua were to simply refer some of his friends to his YTB Travel business, after they get their websites set up, YTB would pay Joshua a very nice referral fee. These referral fees are no joke because they double in a very short period of time as he continues to refer people and they refer people. Before long, Joshua Persky could be earning five, six or seven figures after joining YTB for FREE!

Point 2 - Effective Way of Advertising - Recently, I joined a phenomenal business called whatbusinesstodo.com. whatbusinesstodo.com is a marketing and advertising tool that anybody, including business people can use to build their business and promote their products and services. Now the greatest aspects of whatbusinesstodo.com are: 1. The website is highly "search engine" optimized. This means that the information and advertising that you put on the site, once you learn the techniques that they teach you, will often be found on the first page of google, yahoo and other the top search engine sites. This is significant, because Joshua needs people to find him. This way, they would. 2. The site has top of the line marketing tools that include: blogs, video marketing, chat rooms, classified ads, events and more. Joshua could essentially post a video of himself, his skills and his desires for work on the site, that would be viewed by literally millions of people around the world.
3. The founders of whatbusinesstodo.com are committed to helping their members to be successful, so what do they do? They personally host nightly webinars where they train you in SEO (search engine optimization) techniques, blogging, posting ads, etc. Even the most ignorant person about SEO can quickly learn what to do and begin getting target traffic to their websites almost overnight. 4. The best part? The price of joining. whatbusinesstodo.com, unlike many other sites of its kind, will not charge Joshua an arm and a leg. The total cost to join the site is only a penny a day or $3.65 a year. The founders have committed to every member that they will NEVER, EVER raise the price! So from now until eternity, to join whatbusinesstodo.com will cost a whopping $3.65
