Willie Crawford, a 12 year Internet Marketing Veteran, has been making money online for years.  The first time that I remember REALLY paying attention to Willie was when he was having a fire sale to pay for his Daughter’s wedding.  I am really unsure how it went, but at the time, it amazed me that he had that much pull to where he was paying thousands and thousands of dollars (presuming… I HAVE A FAIRY TALE daughter who will kill my bank one day) to pay for a wedding.  Amazing!

$1 Million Dollar Dreams

The second time I really saw him make waves was when Willie vowed to try to make a $1M over a series of months.  As an avid internet searcher and student, I watched.  As I recall, he came close…. But I am not sure exactly how close. I just thought that any guy who could assert that he would do it, among friends, family, and yes, his peers must have a REAL confidence level in what he does.

My cousin Kelvin Brown is a great under study of Willie.  For years, he has bragged about Willie Crawford and all of the good that he was doing on the internet.  Honestly, Kelvin was the first person that professed blogs to me years ago.  Go Kelvin!!! (read more about how Kelvin and I met ONLINE by clicking here)

Consistency, Rapport, and A Great Email List

I have observed the following attributes about Willie Crawford:

  • Consistency:  One needs to be consistent in blogging, content updates, email list building, and all of the actions of good internet marketing.  Willie displays this, as he has regular BlogTalkRadio shows, conference calls, blog entries and more.
  • Rapport:  I see a SMOOTH operator.  For real.  As I discuss in the next bullet point, an email list is HUGE in staying in touch.  However, the slick way he copy writes each email has me amazed in a story.  His use of the warm sale, I am sure, sells lots of his products and those he partners with.
  • Email List:  Staying in regular touch with those on your email list, helps to keep the traffic high.  They visit your site, and increase the probability of an action conversion:  Namely a purchase of a product or a service.

Check out Willie Crawford… do a google search… he is VERY easy to find, and yes, sits highly in the Black Internet Marketing ranks!  In the meantime, roll over to Yaro Starak’s blog and check out the 30 minute Podcast interview with Willie Crawford.
