A lot has been said lately about focus and how many projects you
should take on at once.  What is said, mostly by the experts, is
that you should only focus on one at a time for maximum returns.

Well, I’ve done a lot of thinking about that. In fact, WAY too
much thinking about that.  Let me tell you what I think…

I worked in a customer service job that serviced the pharmaceutical
industry for many years.  And the very nature of this job was
such that if you DIDN’T focus on multiple projects at the same
time, it meant losing contracts, customers and dollars.

At times, I had as many as four major projects running all at
once and had tight timelines to go with them. And you know what?

They always got completed. Usually on time and within budget.

What does that mean? To me, that means the CORRECT thing to say
would be more like “Only work on the number of projects that you
can effectively move forward and complete on schedule”. Stay
within your own capabilities.

For me, that can be four.  For you, maybe 2. Or maybe 7. That’s
something only you can answer.

I was recently talking to a very successful marketer who told me
that I should be focusing on one project at a time. He was the
second or third one that told me that.

But the funny thing here is, NO successful marketer that I know
works on just ONE project at a time.  Including the marketers
that told me to focus on one at a time.

The major difference here is resources.  When you hit a certain
level of success, you have more resources at your disposal. Money,
people, tools, etc.

So, what if you are NOT one of those who have those resources
at your disposal? What can you do?

Tha answer is really very simple and when I tell you, you’re
going to smack yourself on the forehead and say, “DOH! I knew
that!”

The answer: Strategic Partner(s)

Look, you don’t need to be a wildly successful marketer to have
your own team around you. In fact, when you get the right
partners, you will see your own productivity, ideas, and success
really start to flourish.

Why do I call them Strategic Partners?

Your partners should have the skills or components that you lack.
And conversely, you need to have the skills or components that
THEY lack.  You need to compliment each other. This also means
tht you need to “take an inventory” of your skills. You need to
know what you can bring to the table.

One of my strategic partners is a programmer. Another writes
ebooks and other content. Still another partner brings a level
of creativity that I don’t posess. He’s an idea factory!

And I have certain skills that THEY lack, such as the “back end”
knowledge of setting up and running websites, marketing, networking
and customer service skills.  We compliment each other greatly.

You can do the very same thing.  It’s not that hard.  But the
FIRST thing you need to realize is that it will take an effort
from you to make contact with people.  OFF the computer.

My first partner I met at a lunch. My second at a seminar. They
both started from a simple conversation. We quickly determined
that we each had something to bring to the table that would
fill the gaps.

Now, working on multiple projects at once is not so daunting a
task as doing them by yourself.

The process is really very simple. Look for or organize a lunch
in your local area for people who work on line. Start by going
to a few of the marketing forums and simply ask who lives in
your area. (Heck, it’s how I met Mike Filsaime…)

Meeting face to face is recommended because this enables you to
“size each other up” to determine if you have similar goals and
value systems.  That’s very important. That’s where the trust
begins.

Once you understand the power of strategic partnerships, you will
not look at your on line business the same ever again. The days
of “Lone Wolf” marketing are largely over. Time to roll with
the changes.

Well, it’s Tuesday. And you know what THAT means, right?

That’s right! You guessed it!  A Product Launch! ;)

Now that we cleared THAT up, let me now tell you why this is
one product launch that you DON’T want to miss.

http://www.mroverdeliver.com/recommends/11Days

Putting aside the hype. Putting aside all of the “Do NOT Buy
This Until . . .” emails you will get today, let me tell you
WHY you must grab this latest and greatest product today.

It’s your future.

Let me explain . . .

I have been around the internet since 1995. I have done so many
things, from web hosting to script installations to writing
ebooks and creating software products.  But NEVER did I earn
the kind of income I do now until I got smart and did this ONE
THING. Do you know what that one thing is?

Build a list!

http://www.mroverdeliver.com/recommends/11Days

I’m not afraid to tell you, I didn’t find that an easy thing to
do. It was a struggle for me.  When I started list building, the
amount and quality of information out there left much to be
desired.

But that’s all changed now. In fact, if you have not built a
list yet, it’s NOT for the lack of information.

So what IS it then? Are you like me - you don’t like to buy an
ebook, open it up and read it from cover to cover? Does reading
something new not sink in, so you have to read it over and over?
Man, I can relate!

Ok then, I have an alternative for you . . .

Michael Cheney, who I had the privledge of interviewing earlier
this year for a product, just launched a spectacular set of
videos, which take you by the hand and teach you how to build
your list.

http://www.mroverdeliver.com/recommends/11Days

I KNOW they are spectacular because I got to review them as he
was making them.  Simply put - the guy’s one smart cookie. He
understands that hands-on, step by step video training is much
more effective and you will retain what you learn.

And you will build a list.

And you will learn how to PROFIT from your list.

And you will see results in 11 days!

11 Days!  Think about that. Your business can see a whole new
level of success in just 11 days.

So that leads me to my final question . . . How serious are YOU
about YOUR business?

Seems an odd question, so let me explain why I asked it.  Since
today is the launch of “11 Days to List Profits”, you will no
doubt see tons of emails.  And you will be hit with tons of
bonus offers. It’s inevitable.

All I can tell you is this . . . this product is worth WAY more
to your business than how many bonuses you can get. Don’t get
sucked into believing that you need bonus XYZ to make this a
better product.

It stands on it’s own merit. And you DON’T need to be distracted
by bells and whistles. You need to learn to build your list if
you want to achieve the kind of success that guys like Michael
have achieved.

I say, Success is Yours. You just need to go after it.

Have you ever been faced with the task of having
to write an email promotion to your list, and
then realized that you didn’t know what to say or
how to say it?

Michael Rasmussen’s new video course “Email
Promos Exposed” promises to solve that problem
for you by walking you through the actual process
of creating killer email promos step-by-step.

*************************************************

*************************************************

I decided to see if Michael’s videos live up to
their promise by trying them out myself. Here’s
what I found:

*************************************************
Overall Quality
*************************************************

The first thing I noticed when I opened up the
first video was the stunning production quality.
He used Camtasia Studio for the production, which
is now the industry standard for creating
high-quality screen capture video products. The
audio is near studio quality, and the graphics
are very professional. These videos were made by
someone who KNOWS what he’s doing. Well done!

I also liked how Michael divided the videos up by
section, and then again by sub-section. For
example, one video is all about the subject line,
and then there are different parts of that video
that each cover a certain area of crafting a
killer subject line.

Now let’s move onto…

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here’s a brief summary of each video. Obviously
it’s impossible to list every single thing here,
but I want you to get a feel for what each one
covered, and how well it covered it.

*************************************************

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION

This video served as an introduction to the whole
course. You get to see a picture of Michael in
his every day life, and he establishes his
credibility right up front by talking about some
of his massive successes online. He even provides
proof of credibility by displaying two checks in
the amount of $50,000 and $25,000 which prove
that, when it comes to the subject of making
money with email promos, he knows his stuff.

This is a good lesson for anyone to get. Whenever
you’re teaching people how to do something, it’s
good to establish your credibility up front, so
that there’s no doubt about whether or not you’re
qualified to talk about the subject. Most product
developers either skip or minimize this step.

VIDEO 2 - BEFORE YOU WRITE THE PROMO

This video talks about some things that no other
marketer has bothered to mention. You’ll learn
things like:

* The mindset you need in order to write a killer
promo

* The different tools you need before you get
started

* How to keep your emails laser-focused

* How to create an outline that practically
writes the email for you.

This was a fantastic video, and did a good job of
kicking things off.

VIDEO 3 - THE SUBJECT LINE

I liked this video, because it talked about one
of MY biggest weaknesses when it comes to writing
email promos… the subject line. The subject
line is a confusing topic, because nobody’s 100%
sure what the best tactics are.

Michael breaks it down, and reveals:

* The biggest secret for writing a subject line
that makes people insanely curious.

* Techniques for personalizing the subject line.

* Mistakes to avoid when using personalization.

I was surprised to find that I was making some of
the mistakes that Michael mentioned in this
video, but now I know better.

VIDEO 4 - THE OPENING

This is where a lot of people slack off when
writing their emails. Michael talks about how
important it is to create an opening that is
conversational, and then reveals techniques and
examples on how to do that.

He also reveals:

* How to get people to keep reading your email
once they’ve opened it.

* How to make your opening interesting.

* Mistakes to avoid when creating your first few
paragraphs.

VIDEO 5 - THE BODY COPY

This is one of the “meatiest” portions of the
course, because it reveals techniques that are
not widely discussed on the forums, blogs, and in
most eBooks. He talks about the importance of
keeping your body copy tight and relevant, and
then reveals how you can do that. You’ll also
learn:

* How to write powerful bullets that make people
curious and want to find out more.

* Simple formatting tricks for making your body
copy easy to read.

* The secret of “bucket brigade copy” and how to
use it in your email promos to force people to
keep reading.

VIDEO 6 - THE CALL TO ACTION

This is where a lot of people wimp out in their
email promos. They start out strong, but when it
comes time to ask the reader to click the link
and take action, they don’t know what to say.
Michael talks about some of his favorite
techniques for making that happen, and also
reveals:

* The “magic question” to ask yourself that will
make your close much more powerful.

* The secret of the “unanswered question” and why
handling this is a surefire way to get people to
act right away.

* The structure of a powerful close.

* Mistakes people make when creating their close.

VIDEO 7 - CREATING AN EFFECTIVE P.S.

Some people say that the P.S. is one of the most
important parts of the email, because it is often
the one thing that gets people to click the link
at the end. In this video, Michael talks about:

* Why you should including a P.S. at the end of
your email.

* The 4 different kinds of P.S.’s you can use
(this section was a real eye-opener for me).

VIDEO 8 - COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE

I loved this video, because it showed me some
mistakes that I was making that I wasn’t even
aware of. Unless you’re a seasoned pro, you’re
probably guilty of some of the things that
Michael talks about in this video as well, and
that’s why it’s so valuable. I’ve shaved years
off my learning curve, because now I can avoid
some of the costly mistakes that I was bound to
make in the learning process.

VIDEO 9 - HOW TO CREATE FOLLOW-UP EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This video alone is going to make me a lot of
money. Why? Because I used to only send out one
email promo for each affiliate promotion I was
doing. Michael showed me in this video how
important it is to send a follow-up promotion,
and he showed me exactly how to do it. He covered
things like:

* The psychology of follow-up email promo’s.

* The 2 main types of follow-up promos that make
the most money.

* How to overcome readers’ objections in your
follow up emails.

* The 2 most common mistakes people make when
writing follow-ups and how to avoid them.

VIDEO 10 - HOW TO WRITE BACK END EMAIL PROMOTIONS

Every marketing guru out there says that the REAL
money is on the back end. I’d have to agree with
them, but the problem is… most people have no
idea how to set up a back end system that makes
money. This video will teach you how to set up an
automated back end that’s loaded with killer
promos that make you lots of cash on autopilot.
He reveals things like:

* The big difference between regular and back end
email promos.

* How to prepare a back end promotion sequence.

* Common mistakes people make when creating back
end email promos.

VIDEO 11 - CREATING AFFILIATE EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This could be the most important video of the
entire package for a lot of people, because most
people email their list to promote other people’s
products as an affiliate. Let’s face it, if you
only have 3 products, can you really afford to
only email your list 3 times a year? They’ll get
bored hearing about the same old products over
and over again. This video sheds some light on
how to create killer affiliate promos. Michael
reveals things like:

* The two main types of affiliate promos.

* What makes affiliate promos different than
regular promos (and why ignoring this huge secret
could cost you big money).

* Michael’s favorite tactics for creating
affiliate promos that no one else is doing.

* 3 different ways to add scarcity to your
affiliate promos (this is the most important
section of the video, so make sure you watch it
over and over again).

*************************************************
CONCLUSION
*************************************************

As you can see, Email Promos Exposed really packs
a lot of punch! Most of the courses out there
offer only watered down, weak content. Not this
one! These videos are going on my “A-list” for a
long time.

I’ve already watched them twice, and plan on
reviewing them every couple months to make sure
that I have the principals, techniques and
tactics burned into my mind.

If email marketing is an important part of your
business (and in my opinion, it’s the most
important part of ANY online business), then you
owe it to yourself to check out Michael’s
exciting new videos, Email Promos Exposed.

Good SEO can make or break your business or professionals
website. Not only do you need people to visit your page, but you
also want to establish your presence on the Internet so that you can
stand out from the competitors that you have and the new businesses
that wish to take your place.

More visitors that really want to look
at your website

The object of SEO is to place
your business in the rankings with other similar businesses. However, the modern Internet user doesn’t like to spend as much time looking for things that they want – they want to find whatever they are looking for immediately. This means that you need to be one of the first search engine results when
your potential customer goes to search for your product or service.

But you also need to bring in the right customers to your website, not just someone who is slightly interested in your product. With the correct SEO, you can narrow the visitors that come to your site and maximize your ROI – return on investment. Because you want each of your visitors do take advantage of what you have to offer, but if they’re not the right customers, you are wasting their time and your money. However, sometimes it takes more than just knowing what the search engines are looking for.

Readable and interesting website

While you could just fill up your website with keywords and hide other
keywords so that you shoot up to the top of search engine results
pages, are you really offering the customer that comes to your site
something worth their time? You don’t have to rely on tricks when
you work with someone who understands SEO. You can have quality
articles and information on your website that educates your visitors
and makes the case for your product. A customer will be able to
tell when you’ve just tried to fill up your website with useless
information.

Better reputation on the Internet

Along the same lines, you need to establish yourself as a legitimate
business when you’re on the Internet. When you provide good
content on your website as well as use SEO in a way that helps guide
the right customers to your website, you will begin to create a
reputable image for yourself. This reputation will lead to
referrals from other websites as well as other customers. While
this is an electronic medium, there’s nothing wrong with a little word
of mouth advertising for a well-done website.

In the end, all of these benefits of SEO will lead to increased profits
and a more successful business. When you bring more customers in
that are actually interested in your site, educate them and showcase
your intelligence about your business and product, as well as establish
yourself as a business that truly wants to be of service to their
customers, you can’t help but succeed in whatever you do. Good
SEO isn’t just about being ranked highest on a search engine page; it’s
about being ranked highest in the minds of your customers.

I recently had a subscriber ask HOW to get people to buy products from you. I think it’s a great question and one so many people want to know. So, I posted my answer to him below . . .

************

Not a very big secret if you have been on my list for any length of time . . . but it took me a LONG time to make consistent money. So many things I did wrong.

I will tell you this much…people typically only buy from people they know, like and trust.

Think about that for a moment. Ask yourself how often you buy something on line - and when you do, is it usually from someone you don’t know? Or someone who’s newsletter you belong to?

The first thing you need to do is concentrate on building a list. THEN selling.

How big of a list do you need? Not big for starters. In fact, even if your list is 50, start marketing to them. Get them used to your emails, and offers.  Some tips:

- Sell stuff you believe in, have tried or own.
- become an expert in something (this one helps, but not required)
- be consistent. If you mail twice a week, keep mailing twice a week. Get them expecting your emails.
- don’t get discouraged.

That last one will get tough at times. The other day I did a mailing for a $37 product and got maybe three orders. Much less than I expected. Then I did the one for the 7 dollar product and made like $450 in a day.  On a 7 - 8 dollar product!

How do you build a list . . .

Man, there’s so many ways. The quickest - find a product to recommend and set up a lead capture page. Put an Adwords ad up for it. Prepare to spend a couple of dollars.  Make your lead page compelling. Don’t SELL to people. What you want them to do is to give you their name and email address. So that means PRE-sell them. Make them WANT to find out what’s next.

You could conceivably have a list started by the time the weekend is over…

Another way - if you have created a product, look for JV partners to help you sell it. Leverage THEIR lists.  MrOverDeliver.com took me from 0 subscribers to almost 7,000 in about 6 months. And the best part is that it’s viral. It builds itself. I don’t advertise. My members recommend it. It was started with 2 JV partners… Powerful.

I’m sure you’ve heard this but let me confirm it for you: The Money Is In The List!!!  If you are not focused on building your list - stop what you’re doing and focus your energy on it.

 

General03 Oct 2006 12:38 pm

Prepare yourself…

Today you are going to be bombarded with Stompernet emails.
All day.

It’s going to be one of those days when every marketer known
to man will be sending you an email telling you why you need
Stompernet.  And maybe you do, who knows.

But you know what I also think? I think you are going to see
a lot of lazy marketing today. What does that mean?

What that means is you will see many of these emails throwing
everything but the kitchen sink at you as a bonus to get you
to buy from their link.  In fact, ONE marketer is even offering
- for up to 40 people - a free ATV.

Yes - you read that right. An ATV. As in Honda.

You know what that is?

Bribery. Laziness. Ingenious even. But it’s NOT marketing. At
least not in the sense I learned.

And we, as consumers, have stooped to “Bonus Shopping”.

There’s nothing wrong, per se, with looking for the best deal
or bonus. But the problem is when we do that, we tend to
lose site of the product being offered in the first place.

I mean, really - what do ATV’s have to do with a Search
Engine product?  Nothing at all. But 40 people will spend
TONS of money on this product and won’t use it to it’s
fullest.

They’ll be out on the trails.  ;)

===========================================

Ok enough with my rant. I actually wanted to
talk to you about keywords and how important they are to
search engine ranking.  I have an article below written by
Kalena Jordan that is an awesome read.

Now, keywords ARE important, but man what a PAIN doing the
keyword research! That can be a VERY time consuming and
mundane task!

So that’s why I got this awesome Keyword Research tool for you:

one of those tools. Go take a peek now…

Featured Article:

Are You Targeting The Wrong Keywords?

By Kalena Jordan

Someone asked me recently to name the most critical element
of any search engine optimization campaign. I didn’t hesitate
to respond ‘keyword selection’.

Like it or not, the keywords and phrases you select to
describe your site within your META tags and body text can
make or break your listings in the search engines. It’s a
sad fact that most companies are targeting the wrong keywords
and losing traffic as a result.

Even sites that have excellent rankings will not benefit if
those rankings are for unsuitable keywords. Let me give you
an example:

A few months ago, we had an Australian client who wanted us
to implement an optimization campaign to improve their search
engine rankings, but without jeopardizing existing rankings
they had achieved for two particular search phrases:
‘Internet solutions Australia’ and ‘online banking solutions’

Can you guess what products and services this company sells?
The search phrases don’t really give much away do they? In
fact, this company is a distributor of web site design
software that is specifically tailored for banks. Now ask
yourself this: if you were a bank looking for this company’s
products, would you have typed in either of the phrases above
to find their site? I doubt it. You would type in something
more logical like ‘web site design software’ or ‘web sites
for banks’ right?

This company was clearly targeting the wrong keywords and
phrases. Their top ten rankings for these phrases were
irrelevant, because nobody was searching for these phrases
in relation to the products this company was offering. The
phrases they had chosen are what I call ‘jargonized’, that
is, they are filled with industry jargon and buzz words.
Take ‘Internet solutions’ as an example. Such jargon has
found its way into our language with the onset of the digital
age and is bandied around boardrooms and marketing
departments everywhere. However the definition of this phrase
is very broad and could be used to describe anything from a
dial-up connection to a web site itself. It’s not a logical
choice for searchers and is therefore useless as a key phrase
to target.

To prove my point, I researched the client’s chosen phrases
using Wordtracker keyword software and then did comparison
research using the more logical phrases above. The results
were crystal clear: the logical, simplified phrases were
many times more popular than the jargonized ones. Once I
demonstrated this to the client, they were more than happy
for us to conduct more thorough keyword research and start
their search engine optimization campaign with a clean slate.

When selecting the keywords and phrases for your site,
remember to select search terms that describe your products
and services in the most logical, simple and specific way.
By doing so you’ll not only increase the search engine
traffic to your site, but you’ll ensure your visitors are
highly qualified to buy your products and services when
they arrive.

4 Things All Affiliate Marketers Need To Do

Every affiliate marketer is always looking for the successful
market that gives the highest returns. Sometimes they think it
is a magic formula that is readily available for them.

Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is just good
marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard
work and dedication.

These are tactics that have worked before and continue to work
in the online affiliate marketing world. With these top four
marketing tips, you will be able to increase your sales and
survive in the affiliate marketing game.

What are these four tactics?

1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you
are marketing. Do not lump all of it together just to save some
money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on
each and every product and nothing more.

In fact, it even helps to buy a domain name to promote from.
This can create the impression that you are associated with the
product. It’s also much more professional because you promote
to a short and simple link and not one of those long, ugly
affiliate links.

Additionally, you can set up lead capture pages this way so
you can build a list of your own. You should ALWAYS be building
your list! In the end, it’s worth the 9 bucks you pay for a
domain name for this reason alone.

2. Always include product reviews on the website so visitors
will have an initial understanding on what the product can do
to those who buys them. You should actually purchase and try
out the products you are selling. It’s much more credible when
your reviews are from experience and not just speculation.

You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the
product and include them on the website as an additional page.
Make the pages attractive compelling and include calls to act
on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to
try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special
points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is
about and will want to find out more.

3. Offer free reports to your readers. If possible position
them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot
be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be
mailed to those who input their personal information into your
sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually
on the seventh contact with a prospect.

Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone:
closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return
again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at
certain specified period, you will remind them of the product
they thought they want later and will find out that the sale
is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific
reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales
pitch.

4. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product.
Just think, if the person who visited your website has no
interest whatsoever in what you are offering, they will be
among those who move on and never come back. Think about it
. . . would you rather sell your “hamburger” to a starving
person or to a dedicated vegitarian?

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least
300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and
maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100
targeted readers to your site in a day.

Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy
your product or get your services. If you can generate as much
as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means
you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic.

The tactics given above are not really very difficult to do,
if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an
action plan on your part. Not good at riting articles? Well,
get your hands on some private label articles and change them
up, edit, etc. Make them yours. The more you change the better.
Once you have done this a few times, it get’s MUCH easier.

Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs.
You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving
in this business that not all marketers can do.

Besides, think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving…

After promoting the Adsense Template pack, my friend and fellow marketer, Gary Harvey,  emailed me about the merit of promoting such packages. Are they worth doing or are they just worthless products to promote and simply “make a buck” with.

I think the answer is subjective depending on your own point of view. But here is my response: 

I will no longer promote tools that crank out sites in the vain of Directory Generator, Traffic Hurricane, etc. But I have no problem with templates. Even if they are loaded up with content.  Here’s why . . .

The tools mentioned above really went a long way, in my opinion, in creating so many garbage sites filled with nothing but trash and dynamic links that are little or no value today.  Many of these template packs have designed the templates complete with content and strategically placed adsense codes.

The content is duplicate, yes.  BUT . . . and this is big to me . . . the people who are smart enough to do it right, but don’t have the skills or time to write their own content KNOW that there’s tools and resources to help them make the content more unique.

And by and large - I believe that it’s probably LESS than 1% that actually do anything with these products. So if they don’t change the content, they only hurt themselves.

I get feedback from my members all the time about ways to get sites up quickly. These templates are not the HIGHEST quality - but they ARE better than so many I have seen in the past (and indeed, own).

From your blog:
“Or even if it’s only 1% who edit and upload their “new” sites, you’ve still got 10 IDENTICAL direct competitors. Plus the original vendor’s sites which presumably are still out there, in the search engine indexes.”

If each edit their content, then you don’t have identical sites. I would venture to say that Google could care less (or very little) about the way the site looks - graphics, etc. Their MAIN concern is the content. And I would also venture a guess that the original vendor that created these templates probably doesn’t have them up anywhere.

I think the Death of Adsense creator is a very creative marketer, exploiting very effectively what’s going on with Adsense these days. Adsense has changed, but they are not dead.  If done correctly.  Templates are simply a tool to help people get started without flooding the web with literally thousands of “generated” pages of dynamic links and garbage.

Are they perfect? No. Nothing is more effective than building sites, putting in original content, abiding by Googles rules and growing the site naturally. But like I said - the smart ones will get it and put the templates to GOOD use. So I sell these products to benefit them.

And finally, here’s what one of my readers emailed me today:

“I used to think negatively about folks that build junk made for adsense pages only…but he (Scott Boulch) made me realize those pages are really the best, low cost, not much effort.. Why spend lots of time and energy to build a quality site and draw lots of traffic to it with good useful info only to run a Google ad that takes someone AWAY from your site… and all the other ways you can monetize good content for just a few pennies from Google. “

There IS some merit to that. Some people make a decent buck putting affiliate links or products on these pages. But in reality, you are more likely to get more clicks on the Adsense ads then on the affiliate links.  At least, that’s been MY experience.

When I saw Joel Comm at TIMME2, he revealed that he makes on average $20,000 per month from three sites - the bulk of that from ONE site.  Not hundreds of sites with thousands of pages. He followed ALL of Googles rules and stays on top of the changes.

Like I said - the smart ones will make very good use out of the templates. It’s really no different then the truckloads of “PLR” product packs going around if you think about it. If everyone actually Private Labeled these products, you would soon flood the net with identical ebooks, etc. with only different cover graphics.

I guess you could say that there’s good and bad with any of these types of deals…

So what do you think? Should I continue to bring products like this to you? Feel free to leave your comments below. 

================================

Name That Tune . . .

My friends and family know that I absolutely LOVE music from the 70’s. Everything from Pop to Disco to Guitar Rock and even Soul. You should see my CD collection ;)

So, I want to share a piece of that with you. I put some lyrics below from a song. Email me and tell me the song and the artist. I will post the answer next week:

We got the rhythm tonight
All the rest know we’re the best
Our shadows crash in the light
Twistin’, turnin’, we keep burnin’

Shake it high or shake it low
We take our bodies where they wanna go
Feel that beat, never stop
Oh, hold me tight, spin me like a top

 

There you go. Good luck!

=============================

Being a part of the “Pre-Launch” of a new product has a distinct advantage. You get to be out in front of everyone else when the product launches. That’s one BIG reason Super Affiliates get to that stage.

I know this to be true because I have been fortunate enough to get in on the pre launch of a wildly successful product launch back in January.

Well, I am in on another one that you will start hearing about very soon. But this pre launch is a bit different… in THIS one, the person behind the product is allowing us partners to bring in partners.

That means YOU, if you hurry:
