Joel Comm is the mastermind behind the internet’s first ever reality show - The Next Internet Millionaire.

For those of you who don’t know Joel, he is a very smart entrepreneur and marketer - he’s always planning for the next big thing….the next big idea.

While you might think that the Next Internet Millionaire was Joel’s biggest project of 2007 he’d probably tell you it wasn’t.

Why?

Because he believes his biggest idea (no offense to the show, which was a tremendous hit!!!) is the launch of “the Secret Classroom,” which includes over 24 hours of educational footage from the “teachers’ behind the Next Internet Millionaire show.

The Next Internet Millionaire teachers included Mark Joyner, Armand Morin, Jeff Walker, Marlon Sanders, Brad Fallon, Michael Koenigs, Kristopher Jones (that’s me), Dave Taylor, Perry Marshall, Mike Filsaime, Rich Schefren, and Ray Edwards.

Here’s what Joel told me about “the Scret Classroom”:

“During the course of taping NIM each teacher spent about two hours each day TEACHING, and there was no pitching. Pure content.

Our contestants heads were exploding with information, as you might imagine.

In each episode, the audience only sees a few minutes of the teaching, and they are asking for more.

So we’re going to give it to them.

“The Secret Classroom” is a 12 DVD set with accompanying workbook, providing ALL the teaching that the contestants got.

And there is more.. .of course!

We are also including the entire show, all 13 episodes, of The Next Internet Millionaire, on DVD. Many people have watching online, but even more want to be able to watch in glorious DVD resolution on their television set. This will finally give them the opportunity to do so.

The DVD set will also include a behind-the-scenes documentary and outtakes from the show. It’s going to be an incredible set that we’re very proud of. ”

Well, that’s Joel’s take on “the Secret Classroom.”

Here’s mine.

The Secret Classroom will be a great learning tool for you regardless of your expertise level. The teachers included on the show were chosen selectively to provide a broad expertise across multiple forms of business and online marketing. Whether you want to refine your skills on making a kick-ass sales pitch, want to turn your affiliate business into a 100+ person fast growing full-service company like I did, or you want to promote your product or service via viral marketing and video blogging, The Secret Classroom is likely to help.

While I’m not sure I believe him (hahaha) Joel is claiming that he will only sell a limited number of copies of the Secret Classroom. Regardless, the launch doesn’t occur until December 5th, 2007….so I’m giving you an exclusive head’s up so that you can place your name on the list if you want to learn more.

I arrived in London this afternoon to speak at the a4uexpo affiliate marketing conference after I spent a week or so on a quasi-business trip throughout Europe (Barcelona, Spain / Munich, Germany / Paris, France).

I’m really excited about this event since this is my first time speaking in Europe. Also, Matthew Wood, the coordinator of what is being billed as the largest meeting ever of affiliate marketers in the UK, has done a great job getting participation from some very well known speakers and businesses.

I’ll be speaking twice tomorrow, once where I’m the only speaker talking about affiliate marketing search arbitrage and once where I’ll be part of a panel entitled, “Meet the Super Affiliates.”

If you see me at the event make sure to come up and say hello.

Also attending the a4uexpo with me will be Aaron Baker - Pepperjam’s VP of Sales & Marketing and Robyn Jones - Pepperjam’s Director of Affiliate Marketing.

The waiting is finally over - Episode 7 of the hit internet reality show The Next Internet Millionaire is finally LIVE - I serve as the special guest, which includes me giving the contestants some insight on how to build a successful company, while having a ton of fun in the process.

(UPDATE: SCROLL BELOW FOR CONTESTANT PICS)

The show starts out with Laura Martin facing elimination in the judgment room. After that the contestants went on a hike in the Colorado Rockies and came back to the Next Internet Millionaire complex where I was.

Joel Comm, the host of the show, only told the contestants that a close industry friend of his would be present and that the remainder of day would be spent doing something different and fun.

The theme of the day was how to skillfully build a successful business, while making sure that you (and your employees) have a lot of fun in the process!

I was honored that Joel chose me to address this topic and was equally humbled that he shared with the contestants the fact that Pepperjam is one of the coolest places to work in the entire online marketing industry. With that intro Joel and I had the contestants participate in a series of challenges called “Pepperjam Games.” The idea was to expose the contestants to some of the fun things that members of the Pepperjam Team get to experience on a daily basis working at Pepperjam. Challenges included things like Ping Pong and Nintendo Wii. I also host a Trivia Show toward the end of the Episode where the contestants square off against one another and answer questions about Pepperjam.

The show was an absolute blast and I can’t thank Joel enough. In addition, it was an honor meeting each of the remaining contestants and getting to spend some time with them throughout the day and later in the evening over dinner and drinks. Also - I have to mention that I was extremely impressed with Joel’s entire production team led by Eric Holmlund. The complex where the show was taped was state-of-the-art and on the level of a Hollywood production - the entire team was professional and the level of energy and creativity would make anyone proud to be associated with such an amazing experience.

I consider this show a tribute to the hard work and dedication of the entire Pepperjam Team. The reason why Pepperjam is one of the most talked about companies in online marketing is because we have the most amazing group of people who are super talented and show up to work every day with a level of enthusiasm and commitment that is inspiring.

Here’s the show - Enjoy!

Yeah - I know - the title of this post reads like I’m trying to pump a get rich quick e-book or something.

However, I’m not.

That’s not my style.

I’m just really impressed with the article / interview captured by Joe Whyte about Pepperjam and some of my affiliate marketing philisopies during SES - San Jose.

In fact, when Joe, who writes for Search Marketing Standard, asked me for an interview I actually looked at it as an opportunity to give him some surefire affiliate marketing search arbitrage tricks that he could use to help seed his business - Hybrid SEM. Hybrid SEM is an online marketing business that Joe recently founded with partial inspiration from what I’ve been able to build with Pepperjam (thanks for the props Joe - but always remember - it’s the sum of the parts that makes the ultimate success story.)

Honestly, I think that Joe is an awesome guy and based on my exposure to him over the last few years - Hybrid SEM is going to become a major player in the SEM and SMO spaces within no time.

Anyway - Joe posted the interview he did with me at the Search Marketing Standard website - located HERE.

If you are an affiliate marketer I highly suggest you read the interview since I mention at least one or two things that I haven’t talked about before that should be able to make you a lot of money if you are able to execute.

Remember.

(1) Find something that works. (2) Replicate it. (3) Scale it.

That’s my philosophy as it relates to affiliate marketing search arbitrage and I’ve used it to build one of the fastest growing and most successful internet marketing agencies of all time - Pepperjam, an industry leading full-service internet marketing agency.
