The “Reverse Opt-in” Technique

Hello readers!

I know it’s not often that I just hand out information, but I figure it’s something you can use to actually build your list, but to also get a greater amount of response to your mailings.

This technique is nothing new, and I know for a fact that I’ve talked about it before.

It’s called the “Reverse Opt-in” Technique. Many marketers have used this marketing strategy over and over again with great success. All of those big ‘make money online’ gurus use it from time to time, whenever they launch a new product that they expect to make them $1 million.

It’s really simple. Think about how most people have their opt-in/lead capture page. Usually, they saying everything that they want you to hear to get your name and email information, right?

They’ll make outrageous claims that can only be accomplished by signing up for a free report. That’s what usually happens. Honestly, I’m not going to knock it. Why? because I still have many lead capture pages out there on the internet which are still like that

But, when someone does something outside of the ‘mold’, it stands out. The reverse opt-in approach simply does the opposite of what many marketers do. Instead of withholding information until you get the contact info; you actually give them some information right off the bat, to show them that you know what you’re talking about, and that you’re a credible source for information and advice on your niche. After that, you ask for the opt-in for more based off of what you just divulged to them for nothing.

Pretty much, you’re instilling confidence in your potential prospects that you are something worth following. And that by giving you their name and email, not only will they be in touch with you, but that you’ll continue to divulge more valuable content, advice and recommendations.

In other words…give them some valuable content first that they can use right then and there, and then ask for the name and email if they want MORE.

Get it?

The best time to ask someone for their name and email is when they’re TRULY interested and trusting in YOU and what YOU have to say.

Yes, you can get people interested in you by doing what most marketers do…which is withhold information until they get the signup. You can always generate interest by using hype and mystery.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t generate trust…

And that’s the second part of the equation. Usually when people get the initial opt-in, they do one of two things.

1) Work on building trust and a relationship with the subscriber.

2) Start piling on email ads trying to make a buck.

Either way, you might be kicking your own a$$ doing both. It’s obvious that if you start promoting new products to a new subscriber, you’re gonna piss them off and make them unsubscribe. That’s a given.

But working towards building trust through a series of emails, can also work against you as well. To build up trust, you can’t really ask for money right away. And in the meantime, a HUGE portion of your subscribers are gonna get on that ‘free ride’ mentality, and not wanna pay for nothing when you DO ask.

That’s why we have low conversion ratios in the internet marketing industry, like 1-2%.

But think about this…

You initially come off the bat, very confident in yourself, by just throwing valuable information at them. You’re building a relationship with that person right there and then, by showing that you know what you’re talking about; and that you didn’t even force them to do anything at all to obtain the information.

That exudes confidence with your visitors. And even if your visitors do nothing more than absorb the information, and never sign up for anything, you’ve already scored ‘brownie points’ with them. The next time they hear about you, you’ve already broken the trust barrier, and can get a better response from them.

And think of this…

You give them free info for nothing, no purchase, no signup. Of course, you don’t give them ALL the information right there and then.

There should always be MORE to the information.

EXAMPLE: You could have a website that serves as a lead capture page, with a nice letter explaining what ‘private label rights’ are and how anyone could make money from them.

This information is helpful to them, because you just showed them a new avenue to making money from the comfort of their own home.

Of course, to learn the steps to making it all work, they should sign up for your free report on how to set it up.

Then naturally, you have the report showing them how to do it, how to edit, revise, and create a new digital product from PLR. Now, you advertise the source of private label products, so they can get started right now.

See the process?

1. Free No-Risk, No Pressure Information
2. Free Signup for More Information
3. Recommendation of a Resource related to making the information WORK

Step one makes the visitor comfortable, trusting and interested in you. You’re giving them information (interest) for free (trust) without having to signup (comfort). A triple whammy!

Step two naturally scores you the opt-in of a highly-targeted lead with high-interest.

Step three makes it easier to get paid.

The way 99% of email marketers out there do this, is that they do the same steps above, expect Step One.

And as I’ve pointed out to you, Step One secures the interest, trust, confidence and comfort of a new subscriber. So, by not doing Step One, you’re just getting a basic lead who has shown interest, but still have no trust and/or confidence in you. And by the way, until they get to know you from your email marketing campaign, they won’t feel comfortable with you just yet. They’re just opening the door to possibly building a relationship with them.

And that’s where many marketers SCREW UP. They either wait too long to build the relationship and lose all profitability of the lead…or they force new products on the lead and look like a money-hungry hippo.

That’s why I believe it’s good to give out information that they can run to the bank with. It secures your credibility, and instills the interest, trust, confidence and comfort in a new potential subscriber. That way, when they sign up, they’ll be super receptive to your every word, even if it’s an affiliate offer disguised as a ‘product recommendation’.

In a sense, the ‘Reverse Opt-in’ is using reverse psychology on your visitors. They’re assuming that they’re gonna have to sign up for something first before they get the goods. Instead, they get the good first, and are lead to sign up for more (once you’ve always got them drooling with the valuable gems of information/goods you’ve given them).

Hope this helps all my struggling marketers out there. Go out and prosper!

4 Ways To Get Your Opt In Subscribers To Trust You Quickly

While the rest of the world have developed many barriers and protections to keep their e-mail accounts spam-free, there are also those that subscribe to mails that promotes their products, services and their site. This is mainly because these subscribes wants to know more about what these sites are offering and can be beneficial for them. They expect to get be kept posted on what they are interested in and what are new in the market or field they have chosen.

Businesses would be so lucky to have these kinds of customers; the basic element needed to get these types of people is trust. When your customers trust you they will reward you with their loyalty. Many internet users have gone to great lengths in protecting their email accounts from spam mail. Some free-mail internet providers and internet service providers offer spam protection while there are also some internet based companies that screen your mails for you.

With an opt-in mail list, the mails you send containing your promotional materials such as newsletters, catalogs and marketing media will go through. Your intended recipient will be able to read and view what you have sent making it a successful transfer of information. To be able to be allowed to do so, you will need permission from your recipient, to get this permission; you need to be able to get their trust. With the great lack of disregard for privacy in the internet, getting the trust of an internet user you don’t personally know is a big achievement.

To build a good opt-in list you need people to trust you, for a faster and quicker build up, you need to get your opt-in subscribers to trust you quickly. The faster you build your opt-in list the faster word about your site and company gets to be spread. The bigger the scope of your opt-in list the more traffic you get spelling more profits. Its easy math if you thin about it. Getting the numbers is not that simple though, or maybe it is?

• Getting the trust of your clientele shouldn’t be so hard especially if you do have a legitimate business. Getting your customers trust should be based upon your expertise. People rely on other people who know what they are talking about. Garner all the knowledge and information about your business. Ell, frankly if you decide to go into a business most probably you have an interest in it. Like how many basketball payers become coaches, you don’t really venture into something you don’t have any interest in.

• Show your clients that you know what you are talking about. Provide them with helpful hints and guidelines that pertain to what you are selling. Talk about how to install a roof if your into hardware products or provide articles on insurance settlements if you’re a settlement lawyer. You don’t have to be a big corporation to make use of an opt-in list. If your customers see you as someone who knows what he is doing and saying, they will trust you quickly.

• Be true to your customers, if you want to hype up your products and services, provide guarantees. The more satisfied customers you get, the bigger probability there is that they will recommend you. Generally, people will trust someone they know, when that someone recommends you then you’re a shoo-in. They will go to your site and check it for themselves and be given a chance to experience what the other shave experienced from you, so make sure to be consistent in the service you provide.

• Another tip in getting a customer to trust you quickly is to provide them an escape hatch. Show them that you are not there to trap them. Keep a clean list that would enable them to unsubscribe anytime they want. Elaborate your web form by providing information on how to unsubscribe from the list. Guarantee them that they can let go of the service when ever they want to. Many are wary that they may be stuck for life and would have to abandon their email accounts when they get pestered with spam.

Remember that when you get the trust of your clients don’t lose that trust. Because if you do anything with their email addresses like sell them or give them out, you will lose many members of your list as ell as potential members. The true quickest way to gain the trust of your subscribers is when you are recommended by someone they trust.

If you wanna learn more about building a profitable mailing list, I highly suggest INSIDE THE LIST. It's a book I've been recommending ever since it was first released, and it's still a trusted guide for building a profitable mailing list online.

Affiliates with banners are getting hoodwinked ...

tools, like emails, pay-per-click ads, banners, etc.

There is one thing though...

If you promote someone's banner links...9 times out of 10 you're
being hoodwinked, even robbed.

Review and Goodbye to 2008…Welcoming In 2009

Hey readers! Yeah, this is going to be my last blog post for 2008. :(

Oh well...gotta get ready to work even harder in 2009! That's how I view it. The economy isn't going to get any better in 2009, so that means that as business entrepreneurs, online and offline, we're just going to have to suck it up, and do what's necessary to profit from a scared economy.

Speculation killed the US stock market in 2008; and in turn, it killed off banks, forced others to merge just to stay afloat, almost killed an auto industry, and as a result killed many people's retirements and savings.

Crazy stuff, right? I got some common sense, and it smells of a conspiracy, but I'm not going to go there.

But one of the things that this speculation did kill...was the overall confidence of the consumer.

I mean, with people getting laid off like no other, it's not wonder their confidence is low when it comes to making normal purchasing decisions.

Prices are rising to compensate for a low consumer turnout and spending. This cause consumers to have to really think twice about buying something, because the wages haven't adjusted to the rate in which prices are going.

And in turn, the ecommerce industry also took a hit. It didn't matter WHAT niche you were in, you saw a loss. Even those big rough and tough 'gurus'...they saw losses. Yeah, they were still pulling in 6 figures from product launches and such...but they're used to making more, still in that 6-figure range.

You get what I'm saying? People aren't buying like they used to...and I don't blame them one bit.

That's why I'm advising you, regardless of whether you continue to do so or not, be very very very careful of the purchasing decisions you make online. It doesn't matter whether or not it's an ebook, a tangible product, a service, a ticket, whatever...think it through wisely in 2009.

You have to sit down and really think...'do I need this?', instead of 'should I buy this since everyone else is?'

Don't follow herd mentality...that's how thousands of people get sucked into buying stuff online. The testimonials, the reviews, the comments, etc. It's all social proof to invoke that deep innermost psychological trigger called 'herd mentality', and how you should follow the herd to be accepted.

OK, let me stop rambling like I'm preaching. Maybe that's what I need to do...

But, let me get back to business. Before I close out this post, I wanted to give you an overview of the top 5 products I've talked about this whole year of 2008. I'm only doing this, because in 2009, I have a whole new game plan to teaching others this marketing thing...and it's going to blow blogging and emailing out of the water.

As usual...you won't have to break the bank to get your hands on them.

So, let's close out this blog's life in 2008 with a bang, and a reminder to those who still need to learn all they need to know to make internet marketing their occupation for 2009.

1. Cash By Choice - I got some good reviews on this one when I first told my friends about it. The reason being because it was truly geared towards the newbie who doesn't know JACK, and has NADA to work with. Plus, it lays everything out in a step-by-step fashion that's easy to follow and understand. The main point about it, was that it's a blueprint to $100 a day where it didn't require a website or even a domain name (.com).


2. TrafficHybrid System - This was a website that I actually talked about twice this year, and for good reason. When it first came out, it shocked the internet marketing world with its unorthodox traffic scheme. I talked about it a second time, because they lowered the price tremendously down to just $4.95, when it was so much more when it first came out. It's definitely a system that anyone can use, regardless of what the economy looks like, and still get a boatload of website traffic to your websites instantly.


3. iSpy Auction Riches - This was another goodie I spoke highly of. My friend Adeel Chowdry had compiled over 80 videos of how he was pulling in tons of cash from Ebay. In the package, he also included the actual software that he had personally made to assist him in his Ebay ventures. This wast he real deal, and many people agreed. I was given a special license to resell it, and it's still $30 less than what he charges for it on the main site.


4. 20 Ways to Make $100 a Day Online - This was the ultimate handbook in terms of different ways and standalone methods you could do and use to make $100 a day online. It was compiled by 20 of the most regarded internet marketers who use these easy methods to make $100 a day everytime...one of them included is Willie Crawford, one of my marketing mentors.


5. IM Triggers - This was a combination of books and software that not only teach you, but help you make your marketing efforts more noticeable, but also get people to BUY NOW, instead of later. When it first came out, it made people really stop and think about how they were doing their online marketing, and how they could make more sales quickly, and continuously.

Those are my top 5, dead or alive from 2008. :) If you're serious about using the internet to siphon easy to make money, and you wanna start 2009 with a bang...check out those sites above.

I don't know about your New Year's Resolution(s), but mine is simple...work harder and more tenaciously, for 2009 is going to be a tougher year than ever for online marketers. And if you don't start the year off with the proper knowledge, tools and determination, you're doomed to fail like the millions of newbies that came into the game this year.

And 2009 will be my 4th year as an online entrepreneur...and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. :)

Definitely leave comments, and I'll see you next year!

God bless,

T.M.

Why the Rich Stay Rich, and the Poor Stay Poor Online

I wanted to tell you a secret that most of these online 'gurus' are using to bring themselves more profit than you are. And the sad thing is...you've been programmed to think this way since you first learned about internet marketing.

This in fact, has led to the demise of MANY aspiring, worthy future wealthy internet marketers, and honestly, I'm sick of it.

So...here's this big secret. Whether or not you choose to use it is totally up to you.

...

Form 'Mastermind Groups'. Point blank.

You know you can't do everything yourself. You're taught how to implement a marketing strategy or how to carry out a particular tactic or two...and you do it all yourself. Why? COMPETITION. You're taught about competing online when it comes to Google Adwords ads, SEO, Social network marketing (myspace/facebook), building email lists, etc.

STOP THINKING THIS WAY!

I mean, it's cool to learn about everything so that you build upon your own talents and such that you can perform. But, if there's one thing all the top marketers do not dare do..is DO everything themselves. In some cases, they form a business entity (company or corporation) and hire employees to do that. But even within their corporate structure, they create 'mastermind groups' within their ranks.

Like I said, they either create a company structure and either hire employees (as a company or corporation would do - Inc. or LLC) or get partners and form a short-term or long-term partnership agreement and/or business structure (LPs, LLPs, Ltd.'s)

In any instance, these people all bring something different to the table. When their different talents and forces combine, you get efficiency and the utmost performance.

They say that 'two heads are better than one'. This is true, especially in the corporate and business world.

You put a bunch of profit-minded individuals or 'minds' together, who all can do different things to help your business (and theirs) and you create a 'mastermind' from all of your combined efforts. This is where the term 'mastermind group' has come from.

Here's an example:

You want to put an ebook sales page together. You know you're horrible at putting together an entire sales site. But, you know that you can write a good ebook.

So, you go out and either hire or partner with a:

• Sales letter copyrighter
• Web/graphics designer
• Payment processing/tracking expert
• Affiliate manager

Like I said, you can hire or partner with these guys. Either pay them a fee outright for their service/expertise, or form a partnership with them, and offer them all an equal portion of any income that the partnership accrues. In the example above, I have myself and 4 other people, making 5 people in total.

Why not form a partnership and split the profits of the partnership 20%-20%-20%-20%-20% ?

That way, all are working towards a common goal in which you all split equally.

(NOTE: Be careful who you hire or partner with, though. Only hire those will be loyal and truly work towards your goal. And, partner with those who you feel comfortable with, inside and outside of the business world).

Instead of now having one person working on numerous tasks towards on a single goal, you now have five people with insights and expertise in the different tasks to quickly get to a goal. Instead of taking 5 weeks to perform all of the tasks I previously mentioned, you can split the tasks, and get it done in 1 week.

And in this organization, you can pretty much bounce ideas off each other, and even get good outside advice from others about your ideas.

In my example above (let's say it's a product about golfing):

• You could be writing the ebook about golfing.
• Your copyrighter could be writing up the sales copy.
• Your web designer could be designing the actual sales site, and how your visitors will perceive it.
• Your payment processor expert can set up the payment gateways like Paypal and/or Clickbank, and set up everything so that all parties (including affiliates) can receive statistics on profits, losses and/or commissions.
• Your affiliate manager can start recruiting people to participate in a 'joint venture' with your partnership as a third-party affiliate marketer.

When the book is done, the sales copy finished and added to the website, the payment gateways fully functional, and a list of affiliates ready to promote...

YOU LAUNCH (or pre-launch, if you want to pre-sell them before the launch)

Now do you see the importance of why so many successful marketers have adopted the 'mastermind group' idea into their respective online businesses?

You should too. Not only will you get the job done quicker, and gain the full cooperation of everyone involved, you'll also be building lifetime business contacts in which you can repeat the process for in the future...almost like a 'brotherhood of profit'.

This explains the whole 'Inner Circle of Gurus' within the Internet Marketing community. They've created their own 'mastermind groups' in which they get together, create a project, and they all offer whatever they can to the project. Almost something of a 'I.M. conspiracy' if you ask me. But now, you have been endowed with this knowledge so you can use it to your advantage...making the playing field in the online marketing industry now LEVEL and EVEN.

Enjoy yourself,

T.M.

Taxes and Willie Crawford

Hey readers!


I had two things that I wanted to tell you about.


1, if you're an American citizen, you know tomorrow's the tax
deadline. So, make sure you file your taxes to avoide late fees and
additional penalties. And yes, Paypal counts as income. Even
though they're not a banking institution and even though they don't
give you 1099 forms, Paypal is still income...so claim in on your
Schedule C when you file your taxes.

Now, I'm not a tax professional, so I advise you check with one
before you file your return this year. I had to kick out some major
dough for last year.


2, my idol, Willie Crawford released the recordings to a 2-hour
teleseminar he did with his list all about generating free traffic
to your website. Since I'm on his list, I got details of the call,
so I listened in for a few minutes (since I'm not crazy about phones
at all).

The content he was spitting out was priceless, and something that I
myself will be implementing in my own online business.

Seriously, if you've been on my list for a while, then you know how
much I praise Willie all the time. Not only is he an inspiration to
me as a black internet marketer, but he's one of the smartest guys I
know when it comes to online marketing, in general.

I mean, he started out with an ebook about soul food recipes, and
the results from that were so amazing that all the 'gurus' were on
his Johnson trying to figure out what he did to really dominate the
cooking niche.

That's why, whenever Willie speaks, I listen with an open ear (even
though I got tiny ears...my daughter's are bigger than mine LOL)

Anyway, I'll always stop to listen to what he has to say. Crazy
enough, I've been so privileged to even have direct email contact
with him (and I still haven't asked him to JV with me yet LOL)


So, if you wanna grab this 2-hour audio course about generating free
traffic, then you need to stop stalling, and visit:

http://www.tmharris.net/freetraffic

I don't know what else to say about it, though. It's really THAT
precise and to the point.


OK guys...I'm out of here like I'm at a backyard barbecue and they
ran out of food and beer. LOL

Honest Review: Product Launch Formula 2.0 by Jeff Walker

Hey readers!

Today, Jeff Walker's Product Launch Formula 2.0 gets released today. There's one thing though...I'm not promoting it...and for good reason.

Number one, my prospects just don't have the money for Jeff's expensive courses. All of his courses are at least $1000+...no wonder he makes good money from his business. When you charge a minimum of $1000 for your product, even one sale makes you a 'thousand-aire'. And with so many people promoting his site today and over the past month, I'm sure he's going to clear the $1 Million mark.

So, I wish Jeff good luck with his launch today...but I'm not promoting it.

If you want my honest opinion...Product Launch Formula is merely a nice bundle of relationship marketing techniques to create a more personal environment for potential customers rather than a pushy sales environment that we're all used to when we see sales pages, timers, limited discounts and 'fast action' bonuses.

I actually have an entire blueprint behind how you can pretty much carry out your own product launch the same way all of Jeff's students do.

The article is called "The Psychological Backbone Behind a Product Launch", and I invite you to read it. It basically shows you the 5 psychological elements that must be present in your advertising campaign so that when the time comes to launch your product, you'll have the biggest amount of mental and financial leverage to really succeed.

I hope you enjoy it, folks!

T.M.

P.S. - Doesn't Product Launch Formula sound a little like Frank Kern's "Mass Control" launch back in February? I noticed when I was viewing the pre-launch videos for both, they almost seemed alike...and they even did a video together (ironically). Get the skinny behind it all from "Mass Control Revealed!" when Frank Kern did a teleseminar with Simon Hodgkinson and Jeremy Gialason.

Stop Trying to Guess the Product Launch Formula

With all of the hooplah involving product launches and such…I wanted to point out a few things to you about them, and how YOU can easily replicate them easily.

Don't worry...there's no sales promo or affiliate link for Jeff Walker's Product Launch Formula 2.0...although I wish I had one, as his stuff is damn good.

Let me break it down to you…this unique ‘product launch formula’ is nothing short of relationship marketing. This is the idea of creating a different buying environment for people instead of a pushy sales page with all types of bells and whistles and windows that pop up when you try to leave.

It can be easily accomplished as long as you can provide that different buying environment for your potential customers. It doesn’t matter what niche you are in.

There are five things that you need to have in a product launch in order for it to be a success…

1. A sense of authority
2. A sense of credibility
3. A showcase of your personality
4. A sense of community
5. A limited offer

That’s pretty much it.

You need to show a sense of authority so that people will understand that you are the ‘go-to’ guy/gal in whatever niche you’re in. You can easily do this with content, people. He who has the answers to people’s problems/concerns, holds the authority. That’s why all these internet marketing ‘gurus’ get huge masses of people flocking to their website during a pre-launch. They have the answers to our problems through content, and we’re hooked.

Look at Frank Kern’s Mass Control launch earlier this year? He had 50K+ subscribers during his pre-launch, and only had 500 spots open on his training course. But he drew all those people to his page by getting his JV partners to promote his free content to draw them all in.

Notice during these so-called ‘pre-launches’ how they give out a lot of good stuff to get you hooked and to get you to believe that they’re the sh**. Well, it works…and the millions of dollars these guys have proves it.

Credibility, that’s when your stuff is believable. You’re trying to get people to recognize that you’re that ‘go-to’ guy. And sometimes content doesn’t always do it. Sometimes you need the affirmation of your peers saying that you’re the real deal. That’s what testimonials and even blog comments are for. I know this one has you thinking…doesn’t it???

Personality. Basically, people aren’t going to buy from someone that they don’t feel comfortable handing over their cash to. That’s just a known fact. The only time that statement isn’t true is when it comes to paying the tax man. LOL

Anyway, if you’re just an average Tom, Dick or Gregory on the internet, I’m not handing you my money for nothing! So, why not show a little bit of personality in your writings? Give the person a reason to like you. Your most valued customers are going to be the ones who actually like you for who you are.

Don’t believe me? Take a moment to email your list and tell them a little bit about yourself, and how you can relate to them (if possible). Show them you’re human. Show them that they’re not just dollar signs to you, but rather actual people. Because in the end, at the other end of the PC, there’s a human being with thoughts, emotions and rational thinking that you want to give you their money.

Community. When I say community, I basically mean leave your content open for discussion by those who read it. Blogs are your best source for this. Notice how all of these million dollar product launches post all of their pre-launch content on a blog? That’s so people who read/view the content can see their peers giving credibility for the content and the author. Notice how you never see a bad comment get posted on these pre-launch blogs. Bad comments = Bad PR for their launch. Always keep it positive in your community, and your community will be positive when it comes launch time.

And make sure that you answer any objections on your blog. That shows a little class and that you can handle anything…hence, showing more of your authority.

The limited offer. I’m sure you’ve seen them before. Frank Kern did it perfectly. He had 50K during his pre-launch and limited his launch to 500 customers…plus, he mentioned how he was going to pull it down when he reached around 500 or so since he didn’t want to take too many people on board.

He limited the quantity and the time on his offer. Of course that’s gonna stir up a buying frenzy, especially when he gave out free content, got good feedback on it, got his readers talking on the blog, and showed them that he’s a normal guy from California who likes the same stuff we do.

So, he had the ultimate product launch formula behind him. Hence, he pulled in 1 Million gross sales in 53 minutes when his offer went live.

When you put it all together the right way, you can have a million dollar launch.

I hope you know this is all information that’s in my 100-page ebook “Internet Marketing Mastermind”. Given the response I’ve been getting to my blog posts recently, I think that Tuesday I’m going to release a few copies to the general public.

Here’s where I would want you to comment…how much would you pay for a 100-page ebook? Seriously, I’ve never written or sold a book that long before…so I’m curious as to how much you’d pay for something like that.

I’ll post some more content tomorrow for you guys. Make sure you subscribe to my blog or my mailing list so I can keep you informed, OK?

Seriously, I wanted to show you this, because I actually want to teach people how to promote MY products so that we ALL can make money. LOL Gotta love my hustle, right?

But anyway, let’s get down to business.

First off, you need a blog. If you don’t have one, get one. It’s free, buddy…no matter which way you look at it. Get a blog, get a blog, get a blog! Go to blogger.com or wordpress.com and get one for free. Thank you.

This might sound cheesy, but the fact of the matter is, this translates into traffic, that converts into sales, especially if you do this simple tactic.

Set up your free blog, and then hit up Google.

Using the dating niche as an example, this would be my search…

dating sucks forum

Yup, I’m going after disgruntled people in that niche, and trying to satisfy them in a personal manner. Watch.

I’ll visit the forum, and look at a few threads, just to see why these people hate dating so much. These types of hate forums are nothing but complainers, always talking about why they couldn’t get down with whatever your niche is.

So, they’re telling you what they’re looking for! You don’t have to ask for it, or even have to post the forum asking a question to find out what they want. The entire forum is for people to talk about their hate for a niche, and discuss why they hate it. You’re going to turn this into a nice “pre-sell” for any affiliate product.

Sooooooo….

We jot down these frustrations, because we’re going to repost them in a blog post. When I was searching dating hate forums I would jot down what they’re talking about. People were saying how, I can’t get a girl because I’m fat, or I hate online dating ’cause I only find whackos…so I copied this down and put it in a blog post.

I’d start off a blog talking about “why would anyone hate [niche]?” Then I’d outline each reason in a new paragraph. After all of it, I would say, “but even though someone could hate [niche] for those reasons, they probably haven’t seen this website that I found today”.

Then I’d say “On this website I found out these things about why you shouldn’t hate [niche]”

I’d proceed by rewording a few benefits from the site’s salespage, or I’d just reword their bullet points.

Then I would say “For someone knowing a little bit about why people would hate [niche], I seriously believe that this is something that would make you no longer hate it. I know they have a guarantee on the website, so they must stand by their promises.”

Then I’d present my affiliate link (cloaked, of course), and then throw this in…

“If you’ve heard of this website before, definitely post your comments about it, so that others can read it and make their own decision for themselves.”

Then, I’d simply accept good comments, and reject bad comments. I’d always make everything on my blog reassuring to the reader, from the content to the feedback. Make sure that on your blog you can moderate all comments before they get posted.

Any negativity (bad comments) is only going to kill your promotion. You want everything to be on the up and up for everyone, so that everyone who reads will feel more comfortable with going to the site and making the purchase.

Make sure you ping your blog when you post it, and ping it when comments have been accepted. Usually a blog should have two feeds. One for your posts and one for your comments. That’s because people sometimes subscribe to the comments of a blog, since they were a part of the discussion.

Anywho, I’d return the forum, register for it for free, and then edit my ’signature’. In my signature I’d post a link to my blog post saying “Why Would Anyone Not Like [niche]? - My Thoughts”

I’d B.S. some quick two-lined posts just to start getting my name around on the threads, and subscribe to the thread via email. That way, I can monitor how many people are viewing my signature, especially in a niche where I have the solution to their ‘hate’ for a niche.

They’re in distress, and I’m their hero…but I’m feeding off of their hate in a personal manner via forum, and good blog copy based upon the feedback THEY were already putting out on the forum.

Hope this helps you out! And make sure you subscribe to my blog if you wouldn’t mind.

If you want to learn a little more about some advanced affiliate marketing tactics that you can use NOW, check out this offer from Andrew Fox…he’s one of the experts on affiliate marketing. I should know because I’ve read his stuff, and he’s damn good.

He's got a course on it, and I recommend courses, only because it paces your learning and helps you to better comprehend the information and the values behind those teachings.

So go check it out, OK?

Until tomorrow,

The Poor Black Woman From Mississippi Who Surpassed Every Online Guru

Hey readers.

This post is going to shock you and might even make you dummy smack yourself...

Today, I wanted to talk about a black woman from Mississippi who came up poor and instantly became the world's #1 super affiliate marketer. She never created an ebook on her success as an affiliate, she didn't offer any high-priced seminars showing people how she did it. As a matter of fact, about 99.99% of people who know her have no idea she's even the world's #1 affiliate marketer.

Who is this woman? OPRAH WINFREY

Think about it...she embodies everything that a super affiliate marketer is supposed to be, and has done everything that these affiliate gurus do.

• She has a following that hangs off her every word (Oprah's Book of the Month Club & TV Audience)
• She constantly has new content to build her authority as an expert (her TV shows interviewing experts)
• She makes heartfelt recommendations based on the needs and desires of her followers

Now, I want you to seriously think. This woman is well worth billions beyond billions of dollars. Do you really think she recommends other people's products and items on her show for nothing?

Every book she recommends to her 'book of the month club', she's probably getting royalty and commission checks for it.

She probably gets paid to recommend half of the stuff, anyway. These are things that the 'super affiliate marketers' do daily. They promote other people's products for a commission. They take money and contact their vast list of followers with a 'paid advertisement'.

The super affiliates interview experts and become experts by association (like Oprah does).

The thing is...Oprah's been doing this a long time, and she's still going strong, whether you like her or not. Honestly, I respect her hustle, as it should be an example to all affiliate marketers worldwide.

1. She built a following (a 'list' to us marketers)
2. She has a big venue to deliver her message (TV for her, websites and blogs for us)
3. She has credibility by association by interviewing the experts (marketers do this via teleseminars, webinars, and interview transcripts)

These are things we all should be doing to build our affiliate marketing business. And, the best example by far, that hasn't been publically documented, is by watching what Oprah does everyday. I don't watch her show. It's too girly for me...but you have to respect the fact that she has a targeted list of leads (her TV viewers and book club members - mostly women) and she advertises to them without pushing them to buy anything. She gives her recommendation, offers a review of it by telling her feelings about it and divulging some of the content, and she makes the call to action ("Ladies, this is a must-have, go pick it up at your local bookstore")

So, before you decide to pick up that book by some 'beach bum turned affiliate marketing millionaire' or that skinny guy from Singapore, or from the guy who went 'from food stamps to 6 figures'...remember, that the best affiliate marketing lesson can be learned from a daytime talk show.

You probably weren't expecting me to do a whole blog post on Oprah, did you? :)

REVIEW: Niche Annihilation Method by Rob Benwell

Hey readers! I had the opportunity to review a killer product recently by Rob Benwell. Me and Rob have been in communication lately, and crazy enough, I only heard of him when I purchased his "Blogging to the Bank 2.0". Good stuff...real good stuff. Check it out if you get a chance.

Anyway, Rob wanted me to review his guide "Niche Annihilation Method". See, the thing is I haven't heard from Rob in a while, and we used to talk a lot. Come to find out, he's been doing a lot of niche marketing, in the most profitable of niches on the internet. This had me thinking about really stepping it up in the other niches I promote in.

Well, I read Rob's guide last night in its entirety, and there was one thing about it that had me reading.

It's no fluff and to the point.

Usually, if I'm trying to learn something, I just want to be told HOW to do it, without all the useless banter and such. That's how I write my own stuff, so I was hooked from page 1. Seriously, there are a lot of guides about niche marketing, and to be honest, they are all really good. I'm not going to lie. But Rob's is more concise, and gets right to the point. He basically teaches you the exact same thing HE does. When he talks about the websites he uses to promote his niche sites and products, he blew my mind. Seriously, half of the sites I had never heard of before reading it.

Me, I usually know where all the good sites are on the internet to use for promotion and services. I'm Mr. Cheapskate, remember? :)

But he gave me some news ones that I tried out last night, and it's already been bringing me traffic to my niche sites. As far as sales, there's no sales. My niche sites are for building mailing lists. If the articles generate sales, then cool. Otherwise, I'm trying to build my lists.

But seriously, Rob has outdone himself on this one. The last part of the book, he literally gives you a step-by-step action plan towards creating your own niche site, and bringing in the business right away. Rob uses the same exact action plan when he creates his own niche sites...so it's definitely something I'll be following from now on.

Anyway, definitely pick up a copy of Niche Annihilation Method by Rob Benwell. For the price tag that it's at, it's a steal, especially for some million dollar information.

The “Test Ride” - An Age Old Preselling Tactic

OK, this is going to seem like a dummy smack for some, and rehash to others, but this is how I'm going to break it down to you...

Think about the experience you would have if you were to go buy a car. You go there with the intention of buying a vehicle because you need one. There's no question about that. But of course, you know how car salesmen are. Their job is to put you in a car, by any means. They want you to 'sign and drive'. I'm not here to knock car salesmen and dealers. They have a hustle just like I have an online hustle.

But at the end of the day, they gotta get people into cars. So, they feel you out, and get to know you a bit, and see what it is you're looking for, and how much you'd be able to afford on your budget. Once they levy all this information out in their head, talk of financing the car kicks in. The customer gets defensive in the back of their mind, and gets kinda scared, because they hate credit, of course.

So what does the salesman do? Time for a test drive!

They let the car sell itself. What better way to sell a product than to let the person USE IT? If a person REALLY likes the car after the test drive, they'll have a connection with the car itself, and will start rationalizing ways in their mind, to afford the expense of the vehicle. They start talking about getting a second job, they start digging up a down payment just so they can finance it...you know how it goes.

The same goes for internet marketing. The biggest launches in internet marketing history let you sample the product before you invest the $197, $497, $997 into it. You get videos, you get audios, you get ebooks, blog posts, case studies galore...and you get it for free, right?

Hello?! This is a common example of the “test drive”!

People always want to talk about how they dumped so much money into seminars, DVDs, workshops, ebooks, mastermind groups, etc. But in the end, they were invited to sample the product, and they wanted it enough from getting a 'taste' of it that they rationalized ways to come up with the dough to fork out.

I've personally done that, SEVERAL TIMES. I used to get the 'pre-launch' phase of products, and they were really just samples of the products that they were ultimately selling. I like what was going on, and I'd start thinking of ways to give up the rent money to buy it. I would say to myself...hey, this program is going to make me SO much money anyway, so I'll recoup my investment real soon. You know what? I'm sold!

And the product owners are grinning all the way to the bank. It's their ultimate goal to get a specific amount of money from you. And they know that a long boring sales speech is going to drive people away. So instead of doing a traditional launch with the long sales letter and the other crap, they simply let you try out the product.

So, why aren't you letting people test drive your product? If you have an ebook with 8 chapters, give out 2 of them to your list or your prospects over a period of time. If you have software, get a shareware software enabler, and turn it into a 'trial version' of your software.

If your product is good enough, it'll sell itself. Letting your product 'do the talking' shows your prospect that you have the utmost confidence in your product. People like buying from people they only feel comfortable with. What better way to make your customer feel better about a purchase than by letting them try it out, without you pressuring them to buy?

Just let people try it out, and make the decision for themselves whether or not they really want it bad enough after sampling it. The only thing you'll have to do it carry your sacks of money while you're laughing all the way to the bank.

So, if you're an affiliate marketer in the online marketing field, how can you let someone 'test drive' a product that's not yours?

Have you ever thought of publishing a report that displays a need for your affiliate product? People do it all the time! Give out a report that's relevant to the topic of your affiliate product, and find a way to implement the use of the product with the content.

For example, you want to promote Affiliate Elite, which is a software that helps you find super affiliates on the internet. So, why not write a report all about the importance of recruiting affiliate marketers? That way, you can recommend Affiliate Elite within the report as the 'all in one' solution to finding and recruiting affiliates...especially after you give them a good reason why they should.

There you have it. A simple pre-selling tactic that any affiliate/internet marketer can use now to sincerely profit from any product they release or promote.

BTW, be sure to check out my friend Dylan Loh's Clickbank Profit Machine. He shows you other ways in which you can truly profit from your internet marketing and affiliate marketing projects.

Today Sucks!!! Read About My Bad Luck...bad

Hey readers!

I know I've heard a lot of stories from my subscribers about their
bad luck as of late.  And to be honest, I've tried to give each and
every one of you game plans to go by to hopefully pull you the cash
that you need.

Well, I want you to know that you aren't alone.  Not by a long shot.
You don't believe me?  Read about my bad luck as of late...



First, I'm offering everything I've ever written and future updates as well.
Visit the link below to see what I'm offering.  I hate typing out long sales letters especially when people don't even read 'em.  They just wanna know what it is, what it'll do, and what they can do if they want it.

So that's how the page was designed to save both of our time.

Here it is:
Tim's Entire Personal Library


I had no idea about it until this morning.


I had to wake up early to take the misses to work, and noticed that
my car was sitting in a pool of transmission fluid.  So, the car
ain't going nowhere.  And I just put in hundreds into the car last
week.  So, she has to call a friend, instead of a cab, since all my
money is tied up in the bank...and times have been hard on all of
us.  Living in NJ sucks...let me tell you!  LOL

And to add insult to injury, I received a nice 3 page letter from
Walmart's attorney, talking about suing me as a result of when they
fired me a few months ago.  And they're asking for thousands, when
only a hundred bucks was stolen.  And I didn't even steal nothing!

Everyone wants me to hire a lawyer and fight this.  But it's hard
knowing that I might have to sue one of my clients.  You'll read in
a second.  And adding my screwed up car...it's hard!

BTW, don't buy Dodge cars.  Even though I'm American, our cars SUCK.


But seriously.  The real link is above if you want one last shot at
getting my entire library of publications that I've written.

There's over $300 worth of books, software, memberships, etc. that
I've done.  And to be honest, I hope a lot of people take me up on
this...or else, I'm stuck to walking around.

Like I said, I get money online.  Just not 'guru status' money.  And
even though I make thousands every month, it all disappears as quick
as it's brought it.  When you got two young ones, money get's sucked
quick.  Many of you with kids already know this.

Trust me, I wish I was a millionaire.  I'm working on it.  But me,
I try to spend a lot of my time consulting people.  And the fact is,
I don't take payments on my services until I actually complete the
job I promise.

And crazily, many clients I've had has tried to screw me.  One of
them I plan on taking to court.  His name shall remain nameless.


I don't know.  The offer stands, my friend.  Here's what's included:
Tim's Entire Personal Library

If you already took me up on the offer, don't worry about this.  I
just hope you bookmarked the download page, as it does get updated
whenever I write something new.

And I'm working on a report as we speak called
"How I Turned $15 into $15,000"

It's an interesting case study on how I only invested $15 into one
of my sites, and turned it into $15,000 in sales...on autopilot.

You'll get getting access to that too, if you take me up on the
offer.

You even get access to my under wraps membership site about affiliate
marketing. I havent released it yet, because I'm trying to build a
brand new mailing list to promote this to, so I can have statistics
in hand when I approach my JV partners for their support.



And if you wanted into my PLR training course...I'm opening it back
up for one day only.  But you'll have to pay $37 to get it and
receive all three week's worth of material.

See, you should've gotten it when I offered it the first time.  It
was only $9.97 a week, and now I'm tacking on $7 to the latecomers.

If you want in on it...I have a special ink where you can get it.
CLICK HERE



OK, I gotta run.  I gotta look over my car's warranty information
and see if I can stick the bill on them for this crap.  Plus, my
kids have just woken up, so I gotta feed them.



Talk to you later,

This is How You Get Free Website Traffic for Life

Hey readers!


Listen, I wanted to reinforce something with you, especially if you plan on creating ebooks for profit.

If you're going to sell an ebook for profit, you need a website. If you have a website, you need traffic to get it going.

And to get traffic to your site, for free...basically, get Joint Venture partners. I know I've said it before, but honestly, it's the cold hard truth, friend.

It's been the backbone of my online business, and the first thing that actually brought me any real income besides Ebay.

I had an ebook, I slapped together a webpage, struck some JVs, got them to mail their list about my site for a commission. The result?

My first $1000 ever online.

Wanna see the site?

Play Dirty on Myspace

I had just learned about the concept of JVs from a video titled '$30K In 30 Days'. Probably the best video I have ever purchased.

But that's for another day...

After watching the video, I started trying to snag JV partners like crazy. I contacted a ton of people, and only got two responses.

Both of them are still my friends to this day.

Ross Goldberg and Tara Johnson.

But I had contacted hundreds of people, and only 2 wanted to work with me. Come to find out, I didn't have the right 'mindframe' when I was going into JV deals.

I had got lucky with these two JV partners, because they were eager to JV with me as well...especially since my product was new and fresh.

But I came across someone who really hit the nail on the head and showed me the right frame of mind, and the right plan to attract JV partners...and it worked.

I'll point you to an article he's written on the subject. Enjoy it.
http://tinyurl.com/336hjr

Bookmark it if you wish. It's good content.


But there even more strategies, and even more ways and methods towards getting into a potential JV partner's mind, and getting him/her to cooperate and partner with you.

Once you've learned them, you'll be getting free traffic to your website on command, for life. Trust me. Every time I've ever launched a product since my first taste of success, has been done with my JV partners.

It's free traffic, it's there for life too...as long as you treat your partners right.


But before I part, I wanted to tell you something. The writer of the article I mentioned is definitely somebody I approach for advice on JVs, even to this day! Reed Floren is a Godsend to me.

Here's the thing. Reed was grilled recently on a training call by one of his students. She got him to spill the beans on everything about setting up an online business and leveraging off the support of JV partnerships.

He's built his own company as a young teenager, all from JVs. It's sick. I think Reed is only 21 now...and he made his first million online before he was able to even buy a pack of smokes. lol

The sick part is...it was all from JVs.

When he releases something, he has TONS of JV support on demand.

He also bit a nice sum of his fortune putting those JV talents to work as a JV Broker. God I wish I was young'n when I learned this stuff...


But let me cut to the chase. The training call he did with his student was recorded, and now he's offering it for $7 to one and all. He personally emailed me to let me know that it was up and
running, so I wanted to get the word out to you, if you're interested.

If you think you knew everything about JVs, you haven't. Even I was taken for a surprise by some of the stuff he talks about in the recording. And I thrive off of JVs and JV Brokering.


Give it a look over real quick at:
Inside the Joint Venture Expert Mind


Hope you've enjoyed the content. Comments are welcome!



I'll have more tommorow,

My Surprise...

Hey there.


I told people about a surprise I had set up for today Well, here's how the story starts...

Last week, prior to me taking a hiatus to care for my loved ones, I told you how I wanted to take it easy on what I do online. As of that, I've seriously spent less time on the PC checking my accounts, and have spent more time with the family. Of course I had to, due to the fact that they were all sick :(

But, all is well of course, and I want to continue my tradition of taking it easy. Well, this is 2008 and I honestly think that things need to change in the eyes of online business.

I think we need to be more open with each other, and see one another as individuals, instead of a 'newbie' trying to talk to a 'guru'.

You know how open I am with you. You know you can hit me up anytime and that's because I'm trying to CHANGE the communication medium in the internet marketing game.

Some of my partners told me I was crazy for doing this, and allowing you, a subscriber of mine, to contact me at will. Honestly (excuse my french) but I really don't give a damn what they think.

I like talking to people online. It's one of the reasons the web was created...so that people can better connect with one another.

I feel that I think it's better for me to talk to people one on one so that I can individually solve their problems and assist them the best way I can.

But there is a drawback to this...being swamped with emails for every little thing from customer service, to comments, to assistance to job requests, to JVs to everything. Call me a fool for not
outsourcing this work to others, but I am my father's child...

...A CHEAPSKATE

That's the way my dad's held on to his wealth, and honestly in my eyes, I think it's an excellent way to think. I don't wanna cut corners or anything, but why spend a dollar when you can work hard yourself, and truly feel the sense of EARNING something. Call me crazy if you will, but that's what it is.


So, in the process, I've been backlogged with prior commitments I've made and such, and requests to be fulfilled. I truly wish I had a secretary or something to assist me wholeheartedly, but with my current budget, it's hard.


And I still want you to continue training to be a successful online entrepreneur in whatever niche you do. But do me this favor...

Only learn what you need to learn. You don't need to learn every little thing to succeed online. Honestly, I don't know squat about RSS. Do you? I don't know much about online press releases. And there's other things I don't know. But I didn't need to learn it, because I focused on one thing...AFFILIATE MARKETING.

Find your focus...and if I know you, your focus is to make money. I'm not going to beat around the bush. I know you want money. A lot of you have actually emailed me telling me this straight up, so I can't B.S. you here.

Well, I've been talking with someone I met recently named Sam Sterling. Good guy. I saw his site before as a recommendation to me, but didn't think much of it, because I had work I had to do.

Then, he emailed me a week later after I had received the recommendation from another marketer, and he let me check out his site. To be honest, I didn't want to even promote his site. It wasn't because of the site design or content, because the offer is very very good. I didn't want to JV with him, because I was ceasing to take JV partners for a while. Well, that's the game plan. But...he kept telling me it was a membership site where him and his staff literally TRAIN their students to be successful online marketers.

There, I thought...NO. It's bad enough that everything that is coming out has a recurring billing scheme that drains people's wallets for every last penny. And I know most of the people I contact are already in the dog house as it is. So, I told him NO.

But then he told me that there were no recurring fees. Just one small payment and they were a student for life, with direct access to him and his staff for consultation.

That's when I said WOW. And I made him promise to deliver within the first 8 weeks or I was going to advise people personally to get a refund...and how I'd assist them in getting it myself.

And he reassured me that all was cool. And besides, to me he's an honest guy, and what he's delivering is top knotch. Monthly updated videos, articles, publications, training and direct access to his staff...I think that's more than what I can personally provide at this time...given my current backlog.


And do you want to see how confident I am in his system?

Here's the other part to my surprise...

If you order from my link below before Sunday...I'll personally email you a copy of the 'Social Marketing Directory 2008' guide.

This is a guide of over 400+ social media sites that you can use to get traffic to any web site you wish. Inside the guide, you also get instructions on what you should do with these types of sites to get people visiting your affiliate links, your blogs, your business' website, anything...

I actually paid for this guide and for the rights to giveaway/resell. I'd rather give it to you for taking action towards your career before this Sunday. I've already experimented with 30 of the sites in the guide. And I know there's around 430 sites in the book. So, the possibilities are endless.

And there's also a million dollar product creation tip that I dummy smacked myself for not trying sooner. And did I forget to mention...

YOU GET PRIVATE LABEL RIGHTS TO THE ENTIRE GUIDE!

You can alter the text, use it however you wish to. You can revise it all, slap your pretty little face on it, and say it's yours...LEGALLY. You get the PDF file, the MS Word document file, the MS Excel Spreadsheets, and the sales website to do whatever your heart desires. Cool, right?


If you want to take me up on the offer, do the following:

1. Click Here to visit and order Sam Sterling's membership site.
2. Visit my Online Support Center and copy/paste your Clickbank email receipt in a new ticket.
3. I will verify the sale, and send you my bonus. Please allow up to 24 hours to the bonus. I am a busy man.
   

And that's my surprise, folks.

If you have any questions, shoot a line to me via my Online Support Center.





I'll be talking to you,

PRODUCT REVIEW: Next Internet Disaster

A friend of mine, Stuart Stirling, has just released his new ebook titled "Next Internet Disaster". No, he isn't just someone I'm saying is my friend just to sell you something. I speak with him regularly, and I always stay up on his latest writings, since he is so damn intelligent.

From the title, you may feel like this ebook will be telling you how to fail on the Internet but, it's actually a meaningful guide for online success.

It's a well known fact that the majority of people who try and start an online business fail, cut their losses and pack up shop in the first 6 months. As much as 96% of online business entrepreneurs end in DISASTER.

Seeing statistics like this, Stuart has gone about to reduce that number by showing people how to turn around their failing business so as to NOT be the next internet disaster.

I wish he would've came out with this guide two years ago, when I pumped out over $2000 on those 10 websites of mine that failed MISERABLY.

Yeah, my friend. Yours truly really spent thousands on building, developing, learning, and promoting my first ten online projects. I can honestly say, that I was a miserable failure two year ago when I first broke on the scene.

That's why it's good in my opinion that you read a guide like this, to really educate and inspire you about online failure and success, and what you can do to overcome the failure...before you shell out more of the money you've saved for bills.


But back to my friend, Stuart...

He has put together a solid 36 pages comprising 8 chapters of pure Internet success inspiring and motivating lessons in his 'Next Internet Disaster' ebook.


Here are a few topics Stuart touches on inside the ebook:

* Why you are not making any money on the Internet
right now

* The number one secret that separates all winners
from the losers

* What you need to do and think to start making
money now

* Where the 96% of people go wrong when starting an
Internet business

* How to recognize a great opportunity and seize it

* How not to screw up that good opportunity when
you're in the midst of it

* Also included are real-life from DISASTER to MASTER
success stories


These are a few of the secrets revelead that will help all webmaster really become the webmaster of their dreams.

There is ONE thing that this ebook is missing...

It does NOT give you any fake promises of instant riches like so many other bullsh** products do.

There are no screen shots of huge payouts or checks that will make you believe that obtaining that sort of success is easy or will happen overnight. That's what I truly like about Stuart, is how he is like me...NO B.S.

Stuart's Next Internet Disaster ebook is at ground level. Meaning there is no hyped up make money fast schemes, but just pure ground level success promoting content.

Everyone who's serious about staying in this business for the long run, needs to own a copy of Stuart's ebook.

Anyone looking for get ri.ch quick scheme that will leave them high and dry had better stay away..unless they want to avoid becoming the 'next internet disaster' and actually see some success and profit online...for a long time to come.


The coolest thing about Stuart's guide is...

IT'S ONLY $5.95.

C'mon...don't I find the best deals for you? :)

Are You a "Slave" to Your Own Success or Failure?

Are you guilty of standing by your email inbox, looking for an email from Paypal saying you got some money?

Are you guilty of logging into your Clickbank account a million times a day?

Are you guilty of constantly checking your autoresponder and mailing list looking to see who's opted in to your list today?

I know it's hard not too, especially when you're broke. It's like Kanye West in a song recently...

"Having money's not everything...not having it IS"


Notice how every marketing online wants you to believe that money is not an issue. But to us, it is an issue because WE DON'T HAVE IT!


But do me a favor...stop fixating yourself on your online accounts. Love of money is the root of all evil...so why dedicate most of your time to it? Maybe you're just as evil as the money is. (just kidding)


But seriously...standing by your inbox or your online accounts is taking time away from your life. You do have a life, don't you?

Don't you have friends, family, kids, loved ones? Spend some time with them! It's Sunday...and in my religion, that's supposed to be the day of rest.

So, why aren't you resting? Do you take a day off from the internet marketing thing? I hope you do...or you'll end up like I used to.


Just think about all the things you're missing in life because you glue yourself to this screen everyday...


But there's a real reason why you choose to stand by your online accounts all day. You're either:

1) Still seeking information
2) Not confident in your marketing strategy to make a sale or even a commission.



Well, I have a game plan for you that'll last today and tomorrow, if you don't mind.


1) Plan out a wonderful enjoyable day for you and the ones you love.
I know it's cold outside, so I planned on playing a lot with the kids, after I'm done with this email. Besides, we still have toys from Christmas that I haven't put together yet. haha


2) Read "The Ultimate Market Research Trick".
I really don't want to go into to many details, but I was inspired to write this entire post just after reading the sales page.


3) After you read the guide..go back to your game plan for today and DO IT!
Trust me, your online accounts aren't going anywhere.


4) Tomorrow, re-read the guide, and start implementing the strategy.
I can guarantee that you're going to feel a lot more confident about your affiliate and email promotions. So confident, that you no longer be a slave to your computer screen and your online accounts.


As long as you know what your niche market wants, you'll be able to give them what they want ASAP...and not have to worry about how much money's in your Paypal account, or how many sales you pulled on Clickbank today.

Me personally, I spend no more than an hour online doing online marketing. Sometimes I spend more than an hour, but that's only because I might have a personal freelance job I have to do so I can get paid. Other than that, I check the Paypal once, the Clickbank once, my Commission Junction once, and my Aweber account once.

After I respond to a few emails from customers and partners, I then sign off, and live life. I only have one life to live...why waste half of it staring at a glaring computer screen looking for my next dollar?

Put a good plan in place, and you shouldn't have to worry about that next dollar.


Here's that site I spoke of again:
The Ultimate Marketing Research Trick



I know here in NJ, it's pretty nice right now (so far). So I'm going to enjoy the days with my kids instead of my Paypal account.

How to Make Article Marketing Easier Than Changing Your Underwear

Today, I wanted to talk about how to make your article marketing go a lot smoother and easier.

We all know that writing articles and submitting them to directories is an excellent not only to gain yourself some credibility, but to also gain some free traffic to any website that you want.

When you write an article, the key is to relay some very useful content to the reader. This is so that they'll have faith in you that you know what you're talking about when it comes to your niche.

One thing you should also do when you write an article, is place a resource box at the end of the article. This can simply be done by simply leaving a few empty lines after the end of your article, and in one sentence, introduce who you are...and in the next sentence, tell the reader about your website.


Now, I have a cheaper and easier way to publish articles and such...


Whenever you write an article, instead of sitting there trying to submit your article to hundreds of directories, post your article directly to your blog.

If your blog is hosted on blogger.com or wordpress.com, you know that your article will be indexed by Google and other search engines in no time.

But one other thing you want to do, is tell the world that your article exists. If your article is on a blog, simply ping your blog to the blog directories.

Three good sites that I use to ping my blogs is:
* pingomatic.com
* pingoat.com
* feedburner.com

Actually, Feedburner is more than just a ping service; as they do more than just tell the blog directories that your blog exists. They actively promote your RSS feed for your blog to other websites to get you tons more exposure.


After pinging your blog, you'll get some traffic, but it comes with patience. You can easily get some traffic REAL quick to your blog articles by submitting them to Digg.com.

Now, if you've been following my newsletter, you'll know that I highly recommend digg.com. Why? It's free! You know I'm a cheapskate at heart :)

Also, not only can you submit your article to Digg, but you can also comment on other people's submissions. And if you're smart enough to post a 'signature' with your name and website address, you're sure to snag up some instant traffic.

Just make sure that if you do comment on other people's submissions, that you comment only on submissions that are related to your website that you are promoting. The people commenting or reading comments are into that particular niche that the submission is all about. So, give these guys an exit path (your website) to visit.


Now, back to submitting your blog posts and articles to Digg.com...

Your main goal with Digg is to get your articles/posts to the front page of their site, or on the first page of results for your niche. Usual tactics to achieve this is to simply pay for other people to do this for you.

How? Well, there are article submissions that are supposed to guarantee you to be on the first page of Digg. Or, you could easily pay people to 'Digg' your submission.

The more 'diggs' you have, the higher you rank on Digg. It reminds me of Google. The more website you have linking to you, the higher you rank. The same goes on Digg.com, except it's done by people willingly clicking on your submission and 'digging' it.

Now, you know I'd rather you not shell out anywhere in excess of $75 to some shmuck or some dope to get you on the front page of Digg. Digg is only one site, and it's not worth shelling out cash to get on their front page for a day, let alone a few hours.

Although, the benefits of having your submission on the first page can bring you some radical, life-changing results...especially for your articles and submissions.


What I've found for you today, is a cheap little $7 ebook that's all about how to get to the front page of Digg.com, without having to pay a bunch of knuckleheads to do it for you.

I will admit, the site doesn't look all that excellent, but I try not to judge a book by it's cover. Like the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr said "judge not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character". In other words, I judge a book by the information and the content that it's supposed to deliver.


Besides, I'd rather pay $7 for an ebook that teaches you what people are paying $75 or more to have done.


It's called 'The Digg Effect', and if you have a free moment on today, I'd like for you to read it. I've been experimenting with Digg the past few months, and it's resulted in tons of traffic for my blogs. That's all I submit to Digg...my blog posts.

Every niche I'm in...when I write an article...I put it on my blog, and submit it to Digg. I don't work hard to try and get on the front page...and I still get anywhere from 30-100 hits to my blog when I use them.

Now, with this cheap little guide, I'm about to get to the first page of Digg for every single blog post I make from here on out.


Here's a link to 'The Digg Effect'

This Will Only Be Taught to 30 People...READ QUICKLY

The subject of this post is true. I have something in my hands that I am only handing out to 30 people TOTAL.

Why am I only capping it off at 30 people? Easy...

IT'S POWERFUL STUFF, MY FRIEND.

Basically, it's so powerful, that even though I have a resale license for this...it's not a Master Resale License. Which means, I'm the only one who can resell it. I can't sell the license, as
well.

This information was not meant to be spread like wildfire. If it was, then I would've been given Master Resale Rights to it, and therefore creating the 'viral effect'. That's all Master Resale
Rights are for...so that a product and its message can be spread all over the internet.

But with this...it stops here. And to put some fire under your butt, I'm only capping it at 30 sales.

So what is this magical item? It's called 'Seduction Marketing'.




Here are some bullet points of this course:

* How to become a master salesperson, even if you hate selling!

* How to play the leading role in your marketing "movie" - so you always "get the girl or guy"...and the sale!

* How to stop begging for the sale and get them to chase you!

* How to gently (and secretly) lead them from ordinary conversation to the sale - and they'll love you for doing it!

* How to establish instant authority in your prospect's mind, even if they've never heard of you before.

The last one of my favorites because it works so well :)



There's two issues with the sales letter, though:

First, the offer is for the Ebook and a bonus PDF. To sweeten the deal, I've added 6 extra bonus guides to the download.

* 'Double Your Wealth'
* 'Fast Sales Letters'
* 'Building Traffic with Content'
* 'Power Twist' PDF
* 'Unlimited Profits'
* 'Viral Profits'


Second, the page says the package is $17. It is...but the first 10 people who use the coupon code 'TEACHME' on the 2nd ordering screen will get $10 off, and get the entire package for $7.


I know the first ten sales are going to go quick, because this is one of the most powerful and controversial product packages I have ever bought the rights to.

But, also keep in mind, only 30 people can buy it. So, only 30 people will be able to see this controversial, yet powerful home study course. I just hope you're one of those 30 people...

Once those 30 sales pass, my payment gateway will reject anyone else from ordering this. After this sale, you won't catch me offering this ever again...so only 30 pairs of eyes will read this career-changing information.

Now, I know I've been known for giving away stuff, especially some of my own items. But, I'm not allowed to give this away at all. So if you cannot afford the $17, I'd suggest getting the to site quick and using that coupon to get it for $7.

Remember, the coupon code is:
>>> TEACHME <<<

(Remember to use Caps, please)

If you don't have the $7, then I don't know what to tell you. Only the serious can feast their eyes on it. And I believe it's reasonably priced, given that the suggested price is $27-$47.
