...or laugh as I fall on my arse trying!
I, Antone Roundy, have embarked on a quest to establish personal contact with some of the "gurus" of internet marketing. Follow along in my Guru Stalker Blog to watch me succeed or fail, and discover what I learn in the process.
The Target
The first target of The Guru Stalker (who may just be the coolest guy on the planet), is Russell Brunson. Although he did get his start selling instructions for building potato guns (you can learn about that on his free DotComSecrets DVD), he's no small potato. Russell's company makes millions each year, and he definitely runs with the big boys.
Yet I charge forward undaunted! Here's my Russell Brunson page.
Status
- I first established contact with Russell's affiliate manager, Brent Coppieters -- in fact on January 21, 2008 (about a month after launching this site), I was the guest on his monday morning affiliate training call!
- This site has a first page listing in Google when searching for "Russell Brunson".
- Several images on this site appear near the top of the Google image search results for "Russell Brunson".
- But let's get to the really important stuff -- contact with The Man himself. To make a long story short, we're launching a partnership tomorrow -- Instant Affiliate Accelerator. For more details on how I got to that point, read this blog post.

The Guru Stalker Blog
2 Jun 2009 at 2:15pm :
Email a guru out of the blue, and not only are you likely to get ignored, but you’re probably going to get ignored by the guru’s executive assistant. (If you want the privilege of being ignored by the guru him/herself, you’ve got to get past their gatekeepers first!)
Fortunately, there’s a fast track to contacting many [...]8 Apr 2009 at 11:50am : The reason I haven’t maintained this blog much since soon after it launched is that it had already accomplished it’s initial goal. But now that Russell and I are about to launch a new website together (Instant Affiliate Accelerator officially launches tomorrow…but you can join now), it’s time to tell “The Rest of the Story”. You [...]
9 Mar 2009 at 8:46am : Internet marketing multi-millionaire Russell Brunson’s birthday was yesterday, and since he obviously doesn’t need anyone to buy him presents, he’s arranged for YOU to be able to download a TON of presents instead. (The event runs for a few weeks — so you haven’t missed it!) I found out about it Friday when he started rounding [...]
26 Dec 2008 at 9:06am : According to Google, the best source of information about Russell Brunson’s “100 Million Dollar Challenge” is my YouTube video (click the image to view full size): Those are the search results for “100 million dollar challenge”. My video doesn’t fare as well if you search for “zero to 100 million dollar challenge”…but it still gets 3rd [...]
13 Oct 2008 at 10:02pm : Here’s my video for phase I of Russell Brunson’s free “Zero to $100 Million Challenge” internet marketing training series: What, you expected something serious? You’ll have to pardon the video quality — I think somebody dropped my camera a while ago.
7 Oct 2008 at 9:35am : Last night, Russell did the first live training broadcast for his “Zero to $100 Million Challenge“. As usual, his mouth was running full speed. And as usual, he got asked to slow down a few times. Someone even suggested he take a course on speaking slowly. So I created one :-) Right-click and “Save As” to download [...]
18 Jul 2008 at 4:09pm : I’ve found a way to sneak you in the backdoor of one of Russell Brunson’s membership sites. Slip me a few bucks and I’ll let you know how to do it. Just kidding. I’ve paid Russell for the right to sell memberships to his “Affiliate Landmine” site. It’s a pretty cool site…but I can’t quite think of [...]
28 May 2008 at 2:58pm : I just got an email from Russell Brunson titled “over 2600 people have started to evolve… are you next?” Nope, Russell, I’m not — I’m one of the 2600. So the email didn’t interest me, but it set me to wondering, are these 2600 the first wave of the “4400″? Am I one of the [...]
23 May 2008 at 10:20am : Russell Brunson is doing live video broadcasts on UStream teaching affiliate marketers how to earn more money, or as he puts it, how to “evolve” as an affiliate from earning 30% commissions to earning 300% of the product price (that’s not a typo — he’s talking about how he earns more from each sale he [...]
16 May 2008 at 6:37pm : I released a new product a few days ago that enables you to create custom YouTube video players, so naturally, I had to use it here. Behold, RussTube, the Russell Brunson YouTube video channel — all Russell Brunson all the time! Bookmark that link, or download the launcher so you can open RussTube right from your [...]
