			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that other people &#8220;warm up&#8221; your customers for you with their &#8220;big product launches&#8221;?</p>
<p>And, did you further know, that a huge opportunity for you to create sales for YOUR product or a product you promote as an affiliate can be the result?</p>
<p>If, that is, you &#8220;borrow&#8221; the buzz that other people are generating.</p>
<p>Imagine this scenario&#8230;</p>
<p>Mr. Marketer creates a new $2,000 product.  He &#8220;launches&#8221; it with his friends.  Everyone on the forums is talking about it.  Every email sent out within the marketplace has something to say about it.  Bloggers are raving.  The whole industry is buzzing about the new launch.</p>
<p>The average conversion rate is 2%.  And that&#8217;s not on $2,000 products.  But, let&#8217;s assume that Mr. Marketer is the best in the biz.  And he can generate something obscene like 25% conversion rate on a $2,000 offer (which, by the way, ain&#8217;t likely to happen).</p>
<p>IF that were to happen, the flipside is this:  75% DON&#8217;T BUY.</p>
<p>In other words, for every 100 visitors to the &#8220;launch&#8221; site, 75 of them walk away without buying.</p>
<p>Were they uninterested?  If that&#8217;s the case, they likely wouldn&#8217;t have visited the site in the first place.</p>
<p>In the majority of the cases, they $2,000 price tag was out of their reach.  Not in the budget.  Don&#8217;t have the money.  Been there, done that &#8230; didn&#8217;t have the cash to buy the t-shirt!</p>
<p>So, what can we learn from this?</p>
<p>We can learn&#8230;</p>
<p>* These 75 out of every 100 who don&#8217;t buy are probably interested to some degree.</p>
<p>* These 75 out of every 100 have heard all of the buzz and have been &#8220;presold&#8221; on the premise of the product.</p>
<p>* These 75 out of every 100 are strong candidates to buy a lower-priced, related alternative.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s where YOU come into the picture.</p>
<p>You &#8220;borrow&#8221; the buzz that&#8217;s been generated for the big product being launched by talked about by everyone as you promote a lower-priced, related alternative!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how you do it&#8230;</p>
<p>1. Look for high-dollar launches in your market.</p>
<p>The first step is to keep your eye on the pulse of your market.  Whenever a major new product is being launched, get busy.  You&#8217;ll usually know days, if not weeks, in advance because that&#8217;s how launches work:  they do a lot of &#8220;pre&#8221; build-up work to get people salivating for the eventual launch.  Keep your eyes out for anything new in the works.</p>
<p>2. Promote a low-cost alternative.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if you write a quick 10-15 page report, promote your own existing product that is related or grab an affiliate link to some other existing product or service.  It doesn&#8217;t really matter WHERE you obtain this lower-priced alternative.  The important thing is that you find one.  It needs to be related to the topic of the big product being launched.  It can be related either (a) by teaching a similar concept, or (b) teaching a portion of the big product&#8217;s concept.</p>
<p>3. Write a mailing that explains the two options.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll want to write a mailing to send to your subscribers or to post at your blog.  This mailing needs to contain three important elements&#8230;</p>
<p>- Content that presells.  Share some meaty nuggets related to the offer you are ultimately going to promote to set the table.</p>
<p>- A small blurb about big launch with your link. Mention the &#8220;major&#8221; launch briefly.  Describe it&#8217;s benefits and use an affiliate link of yours to point to the offer.  Mention that it&#8217;s only drawback is &#8220;price&#8221;.  Express that many people can&#8217;t afford it.</p>
<p>- A stronger promotion for your option.  Then, really hit home with this &#8220;lower-priced, related alternative&#8221;.  Let them know the benefits are similar at a fraction of the cost.  Be sure to point out that it&#8217;s priced for everyone &#8212; especially those who feel &#8220;left out&#8221; of the big budget launch because they can&#8217;t afford it.</p>
<p>Then, it&#8217;s just a matter of getting that mailing out to your subscribers.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at what you have in place as a result of this strategy&#8230;</p>
<p>* You have two promotions:  a minor one for the same &#8220;major&#8221; launch everyone else is promoting, and a &#8220;major&#8221; one for the lower-priced, related alternative.</p>
<p>* You have &#8220;borrowed buzz&#8221;.  Everyone in the marketplace is warming up prospects with all of their &#8220;talk&#8221; about the importance of the subject matter of the &#8220;big product launch&#8221;.  They are primed and ready to buy &#8230; something!</p>
<p>* You have a spike in sales coming.</p>
<p>This is a wonderful strategy for getting extra sales.</p>
<p>Remember, there are always a whole lot more people who DON&#8217;T buy the product being offered in the &#8220;launch&#8221;, than those who do!  You&#8217;ve got a huge pool of prospects in the 75-98% of people who don&#8217;t buy the $2,000 offer.  Many of them WILL buy a lower-priced, related alternative.</p>
<p>So, the only thing left for you to do is get started.</p>
<p>And if you&#8217;ve like a shortcut, let me show you a quick way to do it TODAY.</p>
<p>You  have almost certainly seen that Product Launch Formula 3.0 (PLF3) has launched this week.  Everyone is talking about it. While there are a lot of different strategies and ideas involved in a &#8220;launch&#8221;, the backbone is the same&#8230;</p>
<p>*** Other people send you the majority of your traffic.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s obviously a very *HOT* topic right now.  People are scrambling to pay BIG BUCKS for the course.</p>
<p>But&#8230;</p>
<p>Do you think everyone can afford it?</p>
<p>What about the tens of thousands of internet marketers who can&#8217;t afford it, but who ARE INTERESTED in the subject?</p>
<p>What a shame to let them sit by without getting any sales from them!</p>
<p>But, don&#8217;t worry &#8212; you CAN get sales from them!  Here&#8217;s how&#8230;</p>
<p>You offer them something for PENNIES on the dollar that provides the same end result:  other people sending them traffic for their products and services!</p>
<p>A few days ago I announced a resale rights offer for my SalesArmySecrets.com course.</p>
<p>All the details are at <a href="http://www.SalesArmySecrets.com/licenses.html" target="_blank">http://www.SalesArmySecrets.com/licenses.html </a></p>
<p>Due to a LOT of &#8220;things to do&#8221; regarding a mission trip to Poland that I&#8217;ll be taking in about a week, I haven&#8217;t had time to promote the licenses like I need to.</p>
<p>So, there are still licenses available for YOU to grab in order to sell a low-cost alternative to the high-dollar &#8220;launch&#8221; product that everyone is jabbering about.</p>
<p>***BUT IT GETS BETTER &#8212; FREE PLR to $20 Report! ***</p>
<p>I wrote a report several months ago which I briefly made available to one of my membership sites.  It&#8217;s entitled &#8220;How To Get R.I.C.H. With Your Own Affiliate Program&#8221;.</p>
<p>(It was pulled after a month and is no longer available anywhere.)</p>
<p>The report is 21 meaty pages in itself, but it also strongly promotes the Sales Army Secrets course at the end.</p>
<p>When you order one of the remaining licenses for Sales Army Secrets, I&#8217;m going to give you (no cost!) a free PLR license to the special report!</p>
<p>You can sell the report for $20, give it away, do whatever you want with it (as long as you don&#8217;t misrepresent it or mention me in reference to it)&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;while using the endorsement at the close of the report to promote YOUR COPY of Sales Army Secrets!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a ready-made marketing report to get people to buy Sales Army Secrets from you!  You can sell Sales Army Secrets for $97 per order and keep 100% of every sale!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what you need to do&#8230;</p>
<p>1. Order the Sales Army Secrets resale rights license at <a href="http://www.SalesArmySecrets.com/licenses.html" target="_blank">http://www.SalesArmySecrets.com/licenses.html</a></p>
<p>2. Register and open a ticket at my support center at <a href="http://www.Infoprofitshare.com" target="_blank">http://www.Infoprofitshare.com</a> and provide my staff with a copy of your receipt.</p>
<p>Within 24 hours someone will send you the download information for this special Free PLR offer.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it!</p>
<p>Get one while it lasts&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://www.SalesArmySecrets.com/licenses.html" target="_blank">http://www.SalesArmySecrets.com/licenses.html</a></p>
<p>There&#8217;s only ONE catch&#8230;</p>
<p>This special offer is for the next 3 days only.  On Friday, July 2nd at 10PM CDT, I&#8217;m shutting down the license offer and this Free PLR offer.  They will no longer be available.  Officially &#8220;retired&#8221; at that point.</p>
<p>Grab yours now:  http://www.SalesArmySecrets.com/licenses.html</p>
<p>Then you can quickly &#8220;borrow the buzz&#8221; of those promoting PLF3!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Almost every time someone sees me playing tennis during the middle of the workday or as I’m leaving or returning from traveling with my family, I invariably get this question asked to me…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“What do you do for a living?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The internet marketing lifestyle is golden.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The freedom and flexibility that comes with success in your internet business is the real value in this “job”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">It’s also what eludes 95% of those who attempt to start an internet business.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">What I want to do in this lesson is explain two core steps for making a lot of money on the Internet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>But first, let me explain the basic formula for making money online (or offline for that matter).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" align="center"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">To make money you need an offer and a buyer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">That’s all you need.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You need to offer something for sale and you need someone to buy it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>That’s the formula.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It doesn’t matter what kind of business you’re in, that’s how revenue is generated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You need a transaction to take place.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Now, let’s look at two core steps that are involved…</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">1.</span><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">      </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">FIND SOMETHING THAT WORKS TO GENERATE INCOME.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span>Whether you’re promoting an affiliate link, selling your own infoproducts, hosting auctions, flipping websites, generate ad clicks or any of a dozen other ways to make money, you need to find something that works to generate income.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>(NOTE:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>As we will look at below, this can be ANY amount of income … even $1.00!)<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">2.</span><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">      </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">REPEAT IT ENOUGH TIMES TO REACH YOUR SALES GOAL.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Take your sales goal and divide it by your profit per transaction and you’ll get the number of customers you’ll need in order to reach the income level you are interested in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Don’t make this more complicated than it needs to be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>What you need to aim at is simple:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>duplication.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Once you make money – ANY amount of money, even $1.00 – it’s simply a matter of duplicating that process over and over again.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">SIDEBAR:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>When I first starting an internet business back in 1999 something interesting happened to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>I made my first sale online which was for a whopping $12.95 (barely enough to buy a pizza!)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Heck, I had to hand key in the order on the credit card machine that I used for my sports card shop because I didn’t have an online order processor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>But I remember dancing with my wife in the bedroom of our small house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Why?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Because I realized even then the soundness of the steps I’m explaining to you today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>I made $12.95 … now all I had to do was repeat that over and over again to reach the income level I desired.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">My first full year I made over $100,000 selling those low-cost products.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">I found something that worked to generate income.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>I repeated it enough times to reach my sales goal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>I connected an offer and a buyer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>I got transactions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Ten years later I’m still operating by that same strategy.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Now let’s talk about YOU.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Let’s look at some quick models of income generation to see how this works.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Let’s assume that your goal is to make $1,000,000 (one million dollars) during the next 12 months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Let’s see how you can do this…</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">1.</span><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">      </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">The $1.00 Way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></p>
<p>There was a well known news story a while back about a guy who sold one million pixels of advertising on his website at $1.00 each.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The result was a whopping one million dollars in revenue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>While this is the most difficult way to do it (simply because you need to find more customers than the average person can find), it is possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The principle is the same:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>find something that works to generate income and repeat it enough times to reach the goal.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">2.</span><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">      </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Ad Sites That Generate $10.00 Per Day.</span></p>
<p>Another option is to create a content site that generates income through clicks through one of the popular advertising networks such as Google Adsense®.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>If you setup a site that generates just $10.00 per day in revenue in one year you’d make $3,650.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>How would you apply the strategy we’ve talked about today?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You’d setup 274 of these ad sites for different niches in order to generate the one million dollars based on $10.00 per day for each of them.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">3.</span><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">      </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Membership Site That Earns $5,000 Per Month.</span></p>
<p>What about a membership site?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The beauty of membership sites is this:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>a customer pays you money month after month for as long as they remain an active member.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You need LESS customers to make a similar amount of money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>So, if you have a membership site that earns $5,000 per month it will yield $60,000 per year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Again, what’s the practice?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You’d need 17 membership sites in order to generate one million dollars in the next year with similar numbers.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">4.</span><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">      </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">An eClass That Earns $25,000 Per Month.</span></p>
<p>Offering a 4-week eclass with personalized coaching at $997-$1997 per student enrollment is another option.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Obviously, the higher the cost, the less customers you’ll need to find.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>If you have an eClass that pulls in $25,000 per month, it would yield $300,000 per year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Just FOUR eClasses with these results would tip the one million dollar mark quite nicely.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">5.</span><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">      </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">A Product Launch That Pulls In $500,000.</span></p>
<p>Let’s suppose you create a great product, get a bunch of great partners lined up to promote it and pull off a great launch that yields $500,000 in revenue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Principle at work?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Repeat it just TWICE and you’ve a cool million dollars coming in.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">And these are just a few of the options that are available to you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">No matter what you’re price point (and, as a general rule it IS easier to find less customers who spend more money than it is to find more customers who spend less money) the way to make money is the same in all regards:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">You need an offer and a buyer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">You need to find something that works to generate revenue and then repeat it enough times to reach your sales goal.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Picture this:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">My son Jacob, now 9, comes to me and says, “Daddy, will you show me how to hit a forehand?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Re-read that sentence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Study it for just a moment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Let the magnitude of this simple request take root in your mind, because his question is the key to you making big money as an internet marketer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Let me explain by first pointing you to what Jacob did NOT ask me…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">1) He didn’t ask me for a report or ebook or physical book that teaches how to hit a forehand.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">2) He didn’t ask me for a DVD that SHOWS him how to hit a forehand.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">3) He didn’t ask me for a new tennis racquet or accessory to help him hit a forehand.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">4) He didn’t ask me for a seminar or group clinic to encourage him to hit a forehand.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">What did he ask?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">He asked ME to show HIM how HE can hit a forehand.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">That’s huge.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Why?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Because it’s PERSONAL and CUSTOM-TAILORED to HIS SPECIFIC SITUATION.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">A book can explain the process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>A DVD can visualize the process. A piece of equipment can complement the process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>A group seminar can encourage the process.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: small;">-&gt; But what these things cannot do is answer an individual’s question about an individual’s attempt to apply the content.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Only personalized feedback can explain how the individual on the other side can make it work for their unique situation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Only personalized feedback examines the details specific to one person and applies the fundamentals in a way that fits with that one person.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Why is that important to YOU?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>How does this all make money for YOUR BUSINESS?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It’s simple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">          </span>*** Offer One-On-One Coaching ***</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you offer coaching, people will buy and they’ll even PAY EXTRA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Why?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">For a whole bunch of reasons…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-size: small;">They want personal access and attention.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-size: small;">They want answers to their questions.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-size: small;">They need help when they get stuck.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-size: small;">They are afraid of failing.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-size: small;">They want to minimize their risk.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-size: small;">They need affirmation.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-size: small;">They are looking for feedback.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-size: small;">They desire a voice of wisdom.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-size: small;">They want to maximize their chance of success.</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Bottom line:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>they want someone to help them make it work for them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Whether it’s learning to hit a forehand or building a website or setting up a home-school environment, people want someone they can communicate with who’ll help them make the information work for them.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">That’s where you come in.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Whatever your field of expertise is, offer personalized coaching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>There are three basic ways to do this…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. Answer questions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Simply offer a coaching program where you allow clients to ask you questions about a topic and they pay you a monthly fee for this access.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. Build on curriculum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>With this option you’d use a curriculum (Example: an ebook you’ve written or purchase licensing to sell) as the basis of your coaching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Create short assignments to complete and allow coaching clients to ask questions about the content of the curriculum as well as assistance in completing the homework.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">3. Start an eclass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Another coaching possibility you have at your disposal is to put together a 4-6 week “eclass”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>An “eclass” is a time restricted, interactive, curriculum-driven course of study on a specialized topic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span><a href="http://www.workshopathome.com" target="_blank">Click here </a>for more details.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">With any of these options, you can easily charge $297 - $2997 per month … and people will pay these premium prices because they are getting the much wanted interaction with someone who can help them see results.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">That’s how you dramatically increase your profit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Instead of selling $17 ebooks you can sell $1700 eclasses!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It would take 100 sales of a $17 ebook to equal 1 sale of a $1700 eclass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Which do you think is easiest to find … 1 customer or 100 customers?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you’d like more information on starting your own high-profit eclass, visit </span><a href="http://www.workshopathome.com/"><span style="font-size: small;">http://www.WorkshopAtHome.com</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>DISCLAIMER:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>My Workshop At Home eclass is being “retired” after the initial 50 enrollment spots have been taken.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Visit the site now to see if any remain.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">While there are many ways to get people to read your blog, there is one method that distances itself from all others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It’s like Usain Bolt racing a bunch of toddlers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Way, way out ahead of the pack.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Before I tell you what it is, ask yourself a quick question…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">Why are you reading this blog post?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="center"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Maybe you clicked here from an email you received from me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Or maybe you were visiting this blog and clicked onto this particular post.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Maybe you were chasing Usain Bolt, gave up and stopped here to rest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Doesn’t matter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The question is the same…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">Why are you reading this blog post?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="center"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Or, said another way, “what attracted you to this particular blog post?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">I’ll tell you what did it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Or rather WHO did it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It’s a person we all know very well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>His name is…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mr. Cure E Osity.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Curiosity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>That’s what got you to read this blog post.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You probably didn’t say it out loud, but I guarantee you some part of your mind (consciously or subconsciously) thought, “what IS the #1 way to get people to read your blog”?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">And here you are.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was at an amusement park recently where there was a hole in a wall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Above the hole was a sign that read, “Do Not Look Here”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span>People were lined up around the corner to look in the hole.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Why?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Curiosity.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Curious has two distinct meanings:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-size: small;">1)</span><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">      </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Curious means “eager to learn or know”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>What is it that your subscribers and site visitors are “eager to learn or know”?<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-size: small;">2)</span><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">      </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Curious means “arousing interest or attention”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>What kind of title, headline or description can you use to “arouse interest or attention”?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">It’s fairly easy to get people to read things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>In face, the formula is almost elementary…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">CURIOUS topic + CURIOUS headline = people reading</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="center"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">It begins with a CURIOUS topic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You have to know your audience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Readers of the Wall Street Journal aren’t the same as readers of Mad Magazine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>(At least, most aren’t) You have to ask yourself, “what is it that my audience is ‘eager to learn or know’?” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What are they CURIOUS about?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">I know that a large majority of my subscribers have blogs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>And what does every blogger want?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Someone to listen to them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>So, my “CURIOUS topic” is getting people to listen to you if you’re a blogger. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s what YOU are “eager to learn or know”. That’s the subject matter of this post.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">From there, it’s about developing some kind of CURIOUS headline.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Knowing that people will “look” where it says, “do not look here” (in other words, knowing people are curious) it’s easy to use words like “the #1 way to…”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It “arouses interest or attention”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">When you have a CURIOUS topic that is coupled with a CURIOUS headline you will have people reading.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>AND when the CURIOUS topic LIVES UP to the promise made in the CURIOUS headline you will KEEP people reading.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>And eventually taking action.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">But that’s a different post.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here’s what you need to do in order to make this work right now, today, at YOUR blog.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-size: small;">1)</span><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">      </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Ask yourself, “What is it that my contacts are ‘eager to learn or know’?” That’s your CURIOUS topic.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-size: small;">2)</span><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">      </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Ask yourself, “How can I express that topic in a way that ‘arouses interest or attention’?” That’s your CURIOUS headline.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">And that’s how you get people to read your blog.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Curiosity may have killed the cat, but I’m guessing with at least a few of those nine lives he came back for more.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>

		<description><![CDATA[If you’re an affiliate marketer, then you’re always looking over your shoulder to see if the competition – your fellow affiliates – are catching up to you.  Or, worse than that, you’re looking up ahead trying to catch up with them!

 

At times any market can be crowded, so selling the same thing to the same group of people means you’re lucky to get just a small share of the market.  Imagine having thirty-five Wal-Mart stores in one small town, all competing with each other to get the local business.  You get the idea.

 

But it doesn’t have to be that way.  The easiest way to outsell other affiliates is this…

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you’re an affiliate marketer, then you’re always looking over your shoulder to see if the competition – your fellow affiliates – are catching up to you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Or, worse than that, you’re looking up ahead trying to catch up with them!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">At times any market can be crowded, so selling the same thing to the same group of people means you’re lucky to get just a small share of the market.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Imagine having thirty-five Wal-Mart stores in one small town, all competing with each other to get the local business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You get the idea.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">But it doesn’t have to be that way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The easiest way to outsell other affiliates is this…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">Turn your AFFILIATE offer into a UNIQUE offer!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">You see, most affiliates try to sell the product as is. If your prospects are shopping around, they’re going to skip all the “buy from me” offers.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Instead, they’re going to focus on those offers that give them an incentive to buy. And that means you can outsell the other affiliates simply by offering a bonus product to anyone who buys through your affiliate link.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">I’ve been teaching this concept since 2001 and, all things being equal, those affiliates who put this into practice will outsell those who don’t virtually 100% of the time.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">It’s a very simple strategy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Let’s break it down into three steps…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Step 1: CHOOSE Your Incentive</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Your goal is to make your offer stand out from the crowd by offering an incentive to buy from your link, thereby boosting your conversion rate. And that means you need to offer a bonus that enhances or otherwise complements the affiliate product.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Did you catch that?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Your bonus should “enhance” or “complement” the product you are promoting as an affiliate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>That’s what makes for the best incentive.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Case Study &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Let me give you a “real” case study (not made up … actually done by one of my customers).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">A customer – who is also one of my affiliates – recently purchased my <a href="http://www.multiplestreamstheme.com" target="_blank">Multiple Streams Theme </a>wordpress blog theme.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>He loaded it to his site.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Then, he invested a little time writing a small report that teaches how to customize and tweak the theme.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>He offered this small report, filled with insider shortcuts and tips for enhancing the theme, as an incentive to anyone who ordered the <a href="http://www.multiplestreamstheme.com" target="_blank">Multiple Streams Theme</a> through his affiliate link.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Brilliant.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">I’m just guessing, but I bet the report didn’t take him half an hour to write.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>He just logged his own personal experiences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>And yet it has high value to anyone who has plans to order the theme.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">That’s how you outsell other affiliates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You turn your AFFILIATE offer into a UNIQUE OFFER.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Case Study &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">One way to do this is by reading the sales letter for the product and choosing one particularly enticing bullet point.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Example #1: If the sales letter tells prospects they can learn how to get traffic from social media sites, then you can create a report called “27 Ways to Use Social Media to Drive Traffic to Any Website!”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Example #2: If the sales page for a diet book promises a month of low calorie recipes to customers, you can create a supplementary low calorie recipe book and give it away to those who buy from your link.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Example #3: If you’re promoting a dog training book and you see a bullet point about eliminating bad behaviors such as jumping, incessant barking, digging in the gardening, etc. You can create a report or even a video called, “The Secrets of Training the Perfect Dog: How to Keep Your Dog’s Paws Off Your Guests, Off Your Counters and Out of Your Garden!”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">The point is, your freebie should be directly related to the affiliate offer. You want your prospects to buy through your link just because the incentive is so enticing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">What kind of incentive?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You can do videos, software, coaching, advertising, installations, services, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">But, “pound for pound”, the best and easiest incentive to create is a <a href="http://www.smallreportsfortune.com" target="_blank">small report.</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Step 2: CREATE Your Incentive</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Once you decide on the topic, your next step is to create the bonus product. If you’re creating a short report or video, you can probably finish it in one day. Otherwise, you can hire a trusted freelancer to do it, which frees your time to focus on marketing the offer!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Tip: You find ghostwriters on sites like WarriorForum.com, Elance.com, and GetAFreelancer.com. You can also ask for recommendations from your colleagues via your social networks or on business forums.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Step 3: CIRCULATE Your Incentive. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Finally, your last step is to promote your offer by letting prospects know that anyone who buys the affiliate product using your link will get the bonus product.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Let your list know.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Tell your blog readers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Tweet about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Purchase advertising.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Distribute free marketing materials such as ezine articles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Mention it in sig files at forums.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You know the drill.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now, there are a few ways to deliver the product:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>On the download page. If you’ve developed a relationship with the product vendor, he may agree to set up a special sales page that promotes the bonus plus a special download page so that customers can download it instantly after purchasing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Manually. You can have customers forward their receipts and then you send them the link to the bonus.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">3.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Automatically. You can also set up a special email address with an autoresponder, so that anyone who sends you a receipt gets the download link automatically. (Naturally, some people will try to “cheat” this system.)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">And there you have it – the simple three-step strategy you can use to outsell your competitors and put more money in your pocket.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">It’s so easy you could be making more money by tomorrow… if you get started today!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Speaking of “making more money”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>If you have a blog, how would you like to have ten “built-in” ways to increase your affiliate commissions from your blog?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span><a href="http://www.multiplestreamstheme.com" target="_blank">Click Here to learn more</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>NOTE:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The offer mentioned at the website will no longer be available after Friday, March 19, 2010 at 10PM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>I’m “retiring” it then and discontinuing all sales.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re trying to build a steady stream of traffic on your own, you’re in for an uphill climb. You’ll need to spend a lot of time (such as on tasks like search engine optimization), a lot of money (such as on pay per click marketing) – or both.</p>
<p>Fortunately, there’s an easier way to get loads of traffic very quickly – and for free. All you have to do is leverage other people’s traffic and resources. Read on to discover ten ways to get other people to send you their traffic…</p>
<p>1. Be a Guest Blogger</p>
<p>Some bloggers solicit guest articles, in which case you can create a blog post and submit it for consideration. However, even those that don’t advertise accepting guest articles may be open to the idea if you give them a reason why they should.</p>
<p>For example, you can:</p>
<p>•  Trade articles with the blogger (so that they get to post an article on your blog too).</p>
<p>•  Use the blog owner’s affiliates links in your article, so that they make money when their readers buy a product.</p>
<p>•  Offer something else attractive in trade, such as an endorsement in your newsletter.</p>
<p>2. Recruit Them to Your Affiliate Program</p>
<p>One quick and easy way to sell more products using other peoples’ traffic is by asking them to join your affiliate program.</p>
<p>If you’re selling digital products, you should offer at least a 50% commission rate to affiliates, and even higher for “super affiliates” (those who can send you a lot of traffic and sales). You may even offer additional perks, such as bonuses or discounts for their customers.</p>
<p>Tip: You can quickly and easily set up an affiliate program for your digital products using Clickbank.com (which is also a payment processor).</p>
<p>3. Trade Blog Links</p>
<p>Instead of trading content, you can trade blog links with other people in your niche (AKA “blogrolling”).</p>
<p>The first benefit is that it’s visible for a long period of time, as usually these links are permanently placed on the front page of the blog.</p>
<p>Secondly, you can also get a search engine optimization benefit if the blog has a high Google Page Rank (and if you use your keywords as the anchor text for your link).</p>
<p>4. Trade Newsletter Articles</p>
<p>If you like the idea of trading content, then consider trading newsletter articles with other people in your niche.</p>
<p>Tip: Look for those who also post their newsletter issues on their blogs, as then you’ll get the benefit of a backlink and ongoing traffic!</p>
<p>5. Co-Promote On Your Download Pages</p>
<p>If you have products or services that are closely related to another marketer’s products, then you may agree to trade product links on your thank you / download pages.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can ask the marketer to use his affiliate link to point to your product sales page.</p>
<p>Either way, this tends to be responsive traffic, since they’re customers who just bought something (and thus they’re in the buying mood).</p>
<p>6. Swap Links On Your Subscription Confirmation Pages</p>
<p>Another place you can trade links is on your newsletter subscription confirmation pages. You may even agree to trade endorsements in the welcoming emails that you send to your new subscribers.</p>
<p>7. Do Joint Mailings</p>
<p>If you ship physical products, then seek out other marketers who’re selling physical products in your niche. Then ask these people to send out a flyer advertising your products in every shipment they send, and you’ll do the same for them.</p>
<p>Tip: Look on eBay® to find marketers in your niche who’re selling a high volume of physical products.</p>
<p>8. Ask to Interview Them</p>
<p>The biggest marketers in your niche might not be open to some of the other suggestions we’ve talked about so far, such as content swaps (especially if you’re relatively unknown and don’t have a busy blog yet). However, they may be open to you interviewing them, perhaps on a teleseminar. And if so, then they’ll also likely help you advertise the call, which means you get free traffic.</p>
<p>Tip: Be sure to mention your website link on the call, because then you’ll get traffic months or years from now if you distribute the recordings.</p>
<p>9. Co-Write and Promote Articles</p>
<p>Instead of creating a recording with another marketer, you can create an article together.</p>
<p>Example: You can each share five niche tips. Or one of you can share the tips and the other person can write the article.</p>
<p>Either way, you’ll get traffic because your partner will help you distribute the content, perhaps by posting it on his blog and telling his list about it.</p>
<p>10. Create Rebrandable Reports</p>
<p>Finally, you get others to send you traffic by creating rebrandible reports (using a tool like ViralPDF.com). This is where you allow others to change the affiliate links in a report to their affiliate links, so that anyone who distributes the report has the opportunity to make money on the backend.</p>
<p>Summary</p>
<p>You don’t have to invest months of work or thousands of dollars to get traffic – not when you simply leverage other people’s traffic!</p>

<p>HEY - I&#8217;m &#8220;retiring&#8221; all of my products and services!  After 10 years as an internet marketer, I am closing down all of my current money-making sites &#8230; removing all of my ebooks, reports, membership sites, software programs, coaching programs, etc.  To find out what&#8217;s still available, visit <a href="http://www.jimmybrown.com/im-retiring-all-of-my-products/">http://www.jimmybrown.com/im-retiring-all-of-my-products/</a></p>

Let me say one thing up front:  I’m not quitting as an internet marketer.

 

Let’s get that settled from the beginning.  This is NOT another one of those “I’m retiring from internet marketing” deals.  I’ve put in almost ten years as a full-time internet marketer and I hope to have many more decades of it in the future.

I AM “retiring” ALL of my current products, membership sites, 
coaching programs, ebooks, software programs, small reports, etc.]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">An Open Letter To My Subscribers, Affiliates, Partners, Friends and Customers</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Let me say one thing up front:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m not quitting as an internet marketer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Let’s get that settled from the beginning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is NOT another one of those “I’m retiring from internet marketing” deals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve put in almost ten years as a full-time internet marketer and I hope to have many more decades of it in the future.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">H – o – w – e – v – e – r …</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">I AM “retiring” ALL of my current products, membership sites,<br />
coaching programs, ebooks, software programs, small reports, etc.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="center"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">What do I mean by “retiring”?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">I mean I am systematically going to begin removing ALL of my current offers from the internet and discontinuing the sale of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once they are removed, they will no longer be available for purchase.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">The offers will be removed, one at a time, at a rate of about every 7-10 days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone on my list will be given advance notice of what product is being removed with the date of removal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will give everyone ample time to purchase anything they are interested in before it is gone.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">August of this year will mark my 10 year anniversary since going full-time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I launched ProfitsVault.com in August 2000.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(As a side note, I’ll be totally revamping that site and relaunching it in August of this year to celebrate!)</span></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not &#8220;quitting&#8221; internet marketing, but I&#8217;m going to scale back tremendously.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">In a matter of weeks, every single current offer (ebook, membership site, etc.) will have been removed from the Internet and no longer available for purchase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">The big question is &#8212;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">WHY?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="center"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are three quick reasons that I want to share…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. To free up time for personal interests.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">I&#8217;ve got a book that&#8217;s being released in March called &#8220;Lessons That Leave A Mark&#8221; for Sunday School teachers and another one that will be done for release in July or August.  I&#8217;m going back to Poland this summer as the mission trip team leader. I&#8217;ve been speaking at some churches and have a Christian based membership site that should launch sometime first quarter 2010.  I just feel like my life needs to head in more of a ministry direction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plus there are a lot of other personal things that I want to give more of my time to such as family trips (we’re gone somewhere almost every month … and loving it!) and running, tennis, backpacking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Life is too short to work all the time and we’ve been blessed enough over the past ten years that we can spend the next ten doing what we enjoy and feel called to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(NOTE:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can keep up with my ministry stuff at my “other” blog … </span><a href="http://www.lifeturns.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">http://www.LifeTurns.com</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">) </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. To streamline my business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Despite the fact that I outsource most of my customer support these days, there are still a lot of day to day operations stuff that I’m involved in that demand my time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you oversee more than 100 different offers, it can be time draining trying to train team members to handle new FTC rules, update sites, use new technologies, troubleshoot errors, not offend 20,000 customers who all feel like “personal friends” which require a personal response, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By having only 1-2 offers out there to maintain as opposed to 100+, I’ll be able to be more personal with my customers and eliminate a lot of time drain.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">3. To maximize offers.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ever heard of InfoproductMastery.com?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most people on my list haven’t, despite the fact that it’s arguably THE best course available on the subject of creating information products to sell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ryan Deiss and I created it somewhere around 4 years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While I’ve sold a couple hundred copies … I should have sold THOUSANDS of copies by now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why haven’t I?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because it’s been sitting there with no attention from me for years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have so many ideas for new offers that I generally don’t spend enough time marketing them after I create and release them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I.E.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I create an offer, promote it to my lists, get partners to promote it and then I move on to another list.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s a waste of good<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>products and services.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I need to limit myself to fewer new offers and try to get them into as many hands as possible instead of mass producing content and casting them aside to gather cyber-dust.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="center"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">I know there are going to be questions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let me answer them before you ask them…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">FAQ #1:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are you retiring?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Re-read the opening sentence:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I’m not quitting as an internet marketer.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Despite the fact that I’ve spelled this out, some will tell people I’m quitting or they’ll think I’m quitting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m NOT quitting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m “retiring” my current products, not myself.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">FAQ #2:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What about affiliates?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">My affiliates and joint venture partners stand to make even more money than ever before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every affiliate will have the opportunity to promote my products prior to them being removed, have the opportunity to promote limited “special offers” that will be a part of some offer removals and will have the opportunity to earn commissions on follow-up sales of new offers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any existing links you have in place for items that are removed will be redirected to an explanation page about the removal, along with information on current offers … you WILL receive commissions on purchases made through valid existing affiliate links.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bottom line:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>if you’re an affiliate or joint venture partner, don’t go anywhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even better things are coming!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(NOTE:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you ARE an affiliate, you’ll receive separate emails related to the “retirement”)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not an affiliate yet?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Join at </span><a href="http://www.infoprofitshare.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">http://www.Infoprofitshare.com</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> … it’s free.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">FAQ #3:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will you release new offers?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">As I mentioned earlier, I will DEFINITELY be releasing new offers later this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have several new membership sites, coaching programs and other products “ready to launch”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">FAQ #4:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What if I’m a member of Membernaire or Affiliatenaire?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you are currently a member of Membernaire.com or Affiliatenaire.com (or if you join PRIOR to me shutting the sales process down for them) you WILL be able to continue in the series of lessons until you complete them all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are NO CHANGES for current members or anyone who joins prior to me retiring these two successful membership sites.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">FAQ #5:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can I buy licensing to these removed products?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">At this time, there are NO LICENSES available for the offers that I’m retiring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do anticipate licensing (PLR) some of the content in the future (after everything is retired) and will make it known when and if they become available.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this time, no licenses are available.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you want PLR, grab all you can at </span><a href="http://www.plrso.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">http://www.PLRSO.com</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> before they are removed as well.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">FAQ #6:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What if I’m on your list?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you are on any of my lists … stay there!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Firstly, all of the free content (articles, blog posts, newsletter issues, mini-courses, special reports, video tutorials, etc.) will still be free and as relevant to you as always.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You don’t want to miss out on quality content that you can use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Secondly, by staying on my lists you’ll know which offers are being retired so you can grab anything you want prior to their removal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, finally, moving forward there will continue to be new content and offers as usual … staying on my lists keeps you in the loop for all of it!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">FAQ #7:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is this a marketing trick?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">If by “trick” you mean “are you saying this just to get a bunch of sales and you really have no intention of retiring the offers”, then NO this is definitely not a trick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t play marketing games.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I say only 100 will be sold, only 100 will be sold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I say I’m closing the doors on Friday, I’m closing the doors on Friday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I tell you that I’m removing the offers and they will no longer be available for purchase, that’s exactly what I mean.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No tricks!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">HERE’S THE TIMELINE…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="center"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">The first offers scheduled to be removed are ALL of the special reports at </span><a href="http://www.srzone.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">http://www.SRzone.com</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On Friday, February 26<sup>th</sup> at 10PM all special report offers at the site will no longer be available for purchase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This includes </span><a href="http://www.homepreneurhabits.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">http://www.HomepreneurHabits.com</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> , my 65-page “operations manual”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">***DISCOUNTED PRICE*** As part of this special promotion, the prices of ALL small reports at the site have been discounted to only $10 each! (Yes, including Homepreneur Habits!)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">-&gt; The description of the reports will still read “$15”, but when you click on the order link, it will show that you are only being charged “$10”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">After the 26<sup>th</sup>, the next offer will be “on the clock”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll announce which one it is, mention any special offers related to it and post the deadline.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This process will repeat until ALL of my existing offers are retired.</span></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll still release new products, coaching programs, membership sites, etc. but for now, it’s time to say goodbye to ten years worth of existing offers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the meantime, grab a copy of anything you want from </span><a href="http://www.srzone.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">http://www.SRzone.com</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At only $10 per special report, you probably should stock up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>EVERYONE should especially order Homepreneur Habits at that price!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember, this is a time limited offer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On February 26<sup>th</sup>, they’re gone.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Best regards,</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Internet marketers often complain about &#8220;slow sales&#8221; during the holidays.</p>
<p>With many people concentrating most of their spending on Christmas gifts and travel, selling digital goods generally takes a backseat.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t seen a single &#8220;top ten gifts for Christmas&#8221; list that included a &#8220;how to make money as an affiliate&#8221; infoproduct.  After all, it&#8217;s hard to gift wrap an ebook and put it under the tree.</p>
<p>Many internet marketers simply take the month of December off and enjoy the profit they&#8217;ve made throughout the year.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s good news for you and I.</p>
<p>It leaves a lot of extra money for IMers who want to implement some age-old Christmas retail practices.</p>
<p>If you want to get some extra sales before Christmas, here are three ways to do it&#8230;</p>
<p>1. Offer a discount coupon.</p>
<p>CASE STUDY:  My wife received a coupon a few days ago from one of her favorite stores, a hobby shop.  She loves this hobby shop, but it&#8217;s not usually a place that she shops at Christmas.  But this coupon offered 40% off any one item.  Coupled with sales and clearance discounts, that could mean a great bargain.  Effective use of a coupon.  It brings in people who might normally shop during this time of year.</p>
<p>How many retailers have you seen offering coupons?  Many, many, many.  Why?  Because they work!  Pure and simple.  They work. </p>
<p>Three principles that will really drive up the usage of coupons to increase sales&#8230;</p>
<p>Principle #1:  The deeper the discount, the greater the interest.</p>
<p>Ten percent (10%) discount is better than none, to be sure.  But if you want to really get people to take notice, bump it up to 50% or more. </p>
<p>Principle #2:  The broader the discount, the greater the interest.</p>
<p>Offering a deep discount on &#8220;select items&#8221; is good.  But, the best usage of coupons is to make it a &#8220;blanket&#8221; coupon.  In other words, customers can use it on ANYTHING you offer.</p>
<p>Principle #3:  The timelier the discount, the greater the interest.</p>
<p>When you couple a great discount coupon with a TIME DEADLINE, you&#8217;ve got a winner.  &#8220;This coupon only good from 5AM-11AM on December 12th&#8221;.  Guaranteed boost in sales that morning.</p>
<p>*** The Digital Version ***</p>
<p>With so many shopping carts offering the ability to use coupon codes, with the ability to let people send you Paypal payments and with the ease in which you can temporarily lower prices in Clickbank and other order processors, it&#8217;s extremely easy to put this into practice if you&#8217;re selling digital goods.</p>
<p>(NOTE:  If you&#8217;re an affiliate marketer, talk with the owner of the products and services that you are promoting and arrange for a discount for your own contacts.)</p>
<p>2. Create a limited supply.</p>
<p>CASE STUDY:  When the sales flyer for a huge discount on 52&#8243; HD plasma televisions made its way to my mailbox, it got my attention.  Now we&#8217;re speaking MY language!  Here&#8217;s the deal, though:  it was for &#8220;the first 10 only&#8221;.  The race is on!  Again, this is effective.  Not only do you create an intense desire and sell out your initial 10, but you get additional customers in your doors to (a) buy other things, (b) buy the television at a smaller discount.</p>
<p>There is something about a genuine limited supply that causes people to scurry.  If you make some kind of special offer that is only available to a small number of people, it&#8217;s usually going to translate into a quick sales boost.</p>
<p>Of course, this isn&#8217;t going to inject much additional PROFIT into your account if it&#8217;s a low-ticket item.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s kind of hard to get excited about the money you&#8217;ll make on a &#8220;Buy my $27 ebook for only $10 &#8230; first 10 only&#8221; kind of sale.</p>
<p>What you need to think about in using a limited supply is this:  premium offers.  Offers that afford you a greater profit per transaction since you&#8217;ll be limiting the number of spots available.</p>
<p>*** The Digital Version ***</p>
<p>Eclasses.  Coaching.  High-end memberships.  Physical products.  Licensing. </p>
<p>I&#8217;d recommend something that is a MINIMUM of $97 and preferably $297 or above.  Selling out 10 coaching packages at $297 would bring in almost a quick $3K.  That&#8217;s some good extra spending cash for your significant other!</p>
<p>Again, the offer you are making needs to be something out of the ordinary.  Something special.  An incredible deal that&#8217;s only available to a privileged few.  That&#8217;s what gets people to buy.</p>
<p>NOTE:  If you&#8217;re smart (and you are, because you&#8217;re reading this post), you&#8217;ll put up a list after you&#8217;ve sold out the initial offer and then offer something related to those who join your &#8220;waiting list&#8221;.</p>
<p>3. Give a bonus.</p>
<p>CASE STUDY:  A software retailer offered a special &#8220;buy one get one of equal value&#8221; free during the holiday madness.  I wasn&#8217;t planning on buying Adobe Elements, but when I saw that it was on sale and on top of that I would get Adobe Premiere for free, it was too much to resist.  Need I say it?  Effective!  This offer got a customer who wasn&#8217;t in the market to buy anything to actually come in and spend money.</p>
<p>Why do we accept &#8220;buy one get one free&#8221; offers?  Or &#8220;buy this and get that free&#8221; offers?</p>
<p>Because we love getting &#8220;extra&#8221; stuff for free!  Seriously.  Why do some retailers offer a plush doll with a new children&#8217;s video at the same price another retailer offers the children&#8217;s video alone?  Why do some convenience stores offer a free coffee or soda with every $10 gas purchase while others do not?  Why do some restaurants offer free appetizers and/or dessert with an entree purchase and others do not?</p>
<p>Because some people get it!  Some marketers are smarter than others.  They know that all things being equal, we&#8217;ll buy something from the person who gives us an extra incentive for free with our purchase.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been teaching the practice of using digital incentives (especially for affiliates) for about ten years now.  It&#8217;s nothing new.  But it keeps working.</p>
<p>Especially this time of year.</p>
<p>*** The Digital Version ***</p>
<p>How hard would it be for you to create a special report and offer it as a bonus to anyone who orders XYZ in the next week?</p>
<p>How hard would it be for you to offer a free personal consultation as a bonus to the first 50 who order XYZ?</p>
<p>How hard would it be for you to comp a copy of Product A to any customer who purchases Product B?</p>
<p>How hard would it be for you to throw in PLR licensing for the next 100 people who order a copy of your older product?</p>
<p>The short answer is:  not hard at all.</p>
<p>There are many options (good grief, I just gave you four!) for using bonuses to increase your sales quickly.  Most of them are very easy to put into practice.  And, just like that, extra sales.</p>
<p>(NOTE:  If you&#8217;re an affiliate marketer, this is perfect for you!  Create some kind of bonus incentive &#8230; special reports are easy &#8230; and offer it to those who purchase something through your affiliate link.)</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve chosen your method of getting these extra sales, tell your people about it.  Mention it at your blog.  Send it out to your lead list.  Contact past customers.  Get your affiliate team involved.</p>
<p>And watch a boost of extra sales come your way quicker than you can say, &#8220;Ho Ho Ho&#8221;!</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>WANT 50% OFF OF JIMMY&#8217;S PRODUCTS?</p>
<p>NOTE:  This offer good only until December 21st @ 5PM Central Time. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2010 will mark my 10 year anniversary of going &#8220;full time&#8221; as an internet marketer.</p>
<p>One of the questions that I&#8217;ve been asked a lot as I near this mark is this&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;What do you know now that you wish you had known 10 years ago?&#8221;</p>
<p>If I had to narrow it down to one core truth from the &#8220;Money making&#8221; side of things, I&#8217;d have to answer this way&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;I wish I had known how profitable and easy it is to start an FTM membership site as opposed to a &#8216;traditional&#8217; membership site&#8221;.</p>
<p>While I&#8217;ve continually had at least one membership site active since August 2001, I only started dabbling in FTM (AKA &#8220;fixed term membership&#8221;) sites in the last few years.</p>
<p>SIDEBAR:  &#8220;Fixed term membership&#8221; is a phrase that I personally created and introduced to the internet marketing crowd, although the concept itself wasn&#8217;t original to me.  A &#8220;fixed-term membership site&#8221; (FTM) consists of weekly content shared via autoresponder to paid members for a specified period of time.  If you&#8217;d like to know more about how to start one of these, visit <a href="http://www.Membernaire.com">http://www.Membernaire.com</a> for all the details.</p>
<p>There are a variety of reasons why a fixed term membership is a better model than the &#8220;traditional&#8221; membership site that are explained at the above referenced site, so I won&#8217;t go into them here.</p>
<p>But perhaps the most significant is the fact that all you need is that FIRST LESSON created in order to launch the site, as opposed to needing a bunch of content to stockpile a &#8220;traditional&#8221; membership site.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s important because you LITERALLY can have a FTM up and running in just a couple of days.</p>
<p>What I want to teach you in this article is a simple way to quickly setup an FTM site without writing a word of the content.</p>
<p>If you want to create residual income in 72 hours or lesson, here&#8217;s what you do&#8230;</p>
<p>Step 1:  Buy Quality PLR Content.</p>
<p>It begins with purchasing a private label rights license to &#8220;quality&#8221; content.  Choose this carefully as you&#8217;ll be converting it into your membership site lessons.  You want it to be first rate since your name is going to be attached with it in the end.</p>
<p>A) Look for content that &#8220;teaches a process&#8221;.  In other words, you want content that is very &#8220;how to&#8221; in nature.  The materials you purchase PLR to sell should teach the reader how to accomplish a desirable result.</p>
<p>Examples:  How To Build A List, How To Lose 20 Pounds, How To Shave 10 Strokes From Your Golf Game, etc.</p>
<p>This is important because the &#8220;fixed term&#8221; model works best when your members learn a series of steps for reaching a desired end result.</p>
<p>B) Look for content that is written by a qualified expert.  Preferably you&#8217;d like content that wasn&#8217;t created specifically for a PLR sale, but rather was originally sold as an actual product.  This will generally yield a better class of content.  (Especially if you&#8217;ve purchased the product in the past and KNOW personally that it&#8217;s good stuff.) </p>
<p>C) Look for content that is lengthy enough to be divided into at least 12 lessons of 5-9 pages each.  In other words, you&#8217;ll need 50-100 pages of meaty content to use for a 3-month FTM site that offers members weekly lessons.</p>
<p>Step 2:  Extract Marketing Materials.</p>
<p>After you&#8217;ve purchased the content, you&#8217;ll want to &#8220;extract&#8221; some marketing materials.  By &#8220;extract&#8221; I simply mention that you take out small portions of the content and convert them into a variety of marketing materials.</p>
<p>A) The default recommendation that I generally make is this:  you want 2-3 ezine articles, 4-5 short blog posts (think &#8220;tips&#8221;) and one short report (7-15 pages).</p>
<p>B) If you can find PLR offers that INCLUDE bonuses specifically created to promote the content, that&#8217;s even better.  The &#8220;best&#8221; PLR offers include marketing materials (in ADDITION to the product content itself) that were created specifically to promote the product you are licensing.  These are your best options.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll use these extracted marketing materials to promote the FTM site once it is completed.</p>
<p>Option 1:  Use the materials yourself.  (IE Post articles to directories, post tips to your blog, send out report to your list, etc.)</p>
<p>Option 2:  Get affliates and joint venture partners to distribute. </p>
<p>Option 3:  Be smart and do both of the above options. <img src='http://www.jimmybrown.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Step 3:  Setup FTM Membership Site.</p>
<p>The biggest part of your time will be used in actually setting up the FTM membership site.  But, even that can be done in just a couple of days.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the general overview (clearly this is an abbreviated version &#8230; it&#8217;s NOT a tutorial on how to do this)&#8230;</p>
<p>A) Register a domain and secure hosting.</p>
<p>B) Write the first lesson and set it up on a member autoresponder list.</p>
<p>C) Create a sales page and a download page with access to the member list.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it.  You&#8217;ve got an FTM site setup.  (Again, this is a blog post, not an infoproduct.  If you want a full explanation, visit <a href="http://www.Membernaire.com">http://www.Membernaire.com</a>)</p>
<p>***A WORD ABOUT THE LESSONS***</p>
<p>What I recommend you do with the PLR content is divide it up into 12 sections.  These sections should be &#8220;self contained&#8221; (teaches a smaller part of a bigger process) lessons which work together to teach an overall process.</p>
<p>An example would be this:  &#8220;How To Setup A Squeeze Page&#8221; is a SELF CONTAINED lesson that works together with other lessons in the series to teach an overall process of &#8220;How To Build And Profit From Opt-In Email Lists&#8221;.</p>
<p>Think &#8220;chapters&#8221; of a book.</p>
<p>When you have these steps completed, it&#8217;s simply a matter of getting the word out (distribute those marketing materials!) about your new FTM site.  Drive traffic!</p>
<p>So, that&#8217;s how you use PLR content to setup an FTM site.  The overall model here is solid.  It&#8217;s an easy way to create residual income from scratch virtually anytime you want to do so.  If you locked me in a room with no content on my computer at all, I could have an FTM site setup in lesson than 24 hours using this model.  I&#8217;m guessing that any intermediate marketer could do it in 72 hours and certainly in less than a week.</p>
<p>*** IMPORTANT ***</p>
<p>Before we close out, let me address one more thing.  If you&#8217;re looking for the kind of content that I&#8217;ve been talking about, this *MAY* be ideal for you.  Go ahead and visit <a href="http://www.plrso.com/9-list-profit.html">http://www.plrso.com/9-list-profit.html</a> for an incredible PLR deal that&#8230;</p>
<p>+ Is a bonafide best-selling course that still makes me money today.<br />
+ Includes a variety of bonuses (several special reports, templates, etc.) that you can use as ready-made marketing materials.<br />
+ Is perfect for the FTM model (it lends itself well to self-contained lessons that teach an overall process)<br />
+ Consists of 90+ pages of meaty content (not including bonuses!) that will give you more than enough for an FTM site.<br />
+ Won&#8217;t cost you a fortune to get started.</p>
<p>I say this *MAY* be ideal for you simply because there are only 250 PLR licenses available.  Once they&#8217;re gone, they&#8217;re gone for good. </p>
<p>Visit <a href="http://www.plrso.com/9-list-profit.html">http://www.plrso.com/9-list-profit.html</a> and grab your copy NOW if they&#8217;re still available.  You can have it converted into an FTM site by the end of the week.</p>
<p>Best regards,<br />

		<description><![CDATA[There are three simple things you can do in order to "kick-start" your busines in the next 24 hours.  And, truthfully, they probably are NOT what you're thinking.

I've bee doing these same three things for almost TEN YEARS now online and I continue to make more money while working less.

What are these three keys?  Here they are...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Want to hear something that is VERY ironic?</p>
<p>The one thing that most internet marketers want the MOST is what they need the LEAST.</p>
<p>Most internet marketers are actively looking for a new marketing tactic or tool.</p>
<p>Their days are spent trying this idea and that idea, giving this new thing a chance and that new thing a chance.</p>
<p>They try a few list-building things.  They try a few traffic generation things.  They try a few affiliate marketing things.</p>
<p>They do the SEO &#8220;trick&#8221; they heard about on the forum.  They write a gazillion ezine articles &#8216;cuz they heard that works.  They move on to videos.  Yeah, videos &#8212; that&#8217;s the answer because it&#8217;s new for now.</p>
<p>30 days later, 6  months later, 3 years later &#8230; they&#8217;re singing a new verse of the same song.</p>
<p>They are actively looking for a new marketing tactic or tool.</p>
<p>In the process they&#8217;ve been spending money instead of making it.  They&#8217;ve been wasting time instead of freeing it up.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the problem?  Is it all smoke and mirrors?  Is it all one big scam? </p>
<p>The problem is the ironic and sad reality:  most internet marketers never see huge success because they constantly pursue things they WANT instead of things they NEED.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll get back to that in just a moment.  HOld that thought.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m going to share with you in the remainder of this article will be a paradigm shift for a few who &#8220;get it&#8221;.</p>
<p>Some will skeptically say, &#8220;Jimmy is just trying to sell something.&#8221;  Some will say, &#8220;Ah, what does he know?&#8221;  Some will say, &#8220;I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s right, but it&#8217;s not as sexy as all this other 3-ring circus stuff the gurus are doing&#8221;.</p>
<p>Whatever.</p>
<p>Take it for what it is.  I&#8217;ve been doing this for ten years.  I make a lot of money.  I spend a whole lot more time traveling and playing tennis and going on mission trips that I do on my business.</p>
<p>I must know something.  It may not be flashy.  But it&#8217;s like novocaine, folks.  Give it enough time and it always works.</p>
<p>Someone out there will read this.  And they&#8217;ll get that what I&#8217;m telling you is legit.  For that person, it&#8217;s time for a new song.</p>
<p>For the rest of you.  Come back in 30 days. Or 6 months.  Or 3 years.  And read this post.  Maybe then it will sink in.</p>
<p>Here are 3 keys to kick-starting your business in the next 24 hours&#8230;</p>
<p>1. STREAMLINE.</p>
<p>The first order of business is to bring some order to your business!  You&#8217;ve got to streamline.  And what I mean by that is simply this:  do one thing and do it well.</p>
<p>You need to &#8220;decide what you want to be when you grow up&#8221;.  That is, what business model do you want to follow?  What is the ONE primary thing you&#8217;re going to do to make money?</p>
<p>Are you going to create information products?  Be an affiliate marketer?  Sell items on eBay?  Create and flip websites?  Provide a service?  Coach?</p>
<p>Resist the temptation to try it all.  Resist the temptation to dabble.  Dabbling is a horrible, horrible thing for the average internet marketer.  Trying a little bit of many things almost certainly will mean you won&#8217;t do anything well.</p>
<p>Decide right now what the ONE PRIMARY method of generating cash for your business will be.  Don&#8217;t proceed until you&#8217;ve streamlined your business.</p>
<p>Then&#8230;</p>
<p>2. SYSTEMIZE.</p>
<p>Internet marketing is too big in and of itself.  Imagine someone saying, &#8220;Now go do health&#8221; or &#8220;get out there and be a traveler&#8221; or &#8220;start parenting&#8221;.</p>
<p>Regardless of what your ONE revenue path is, there will be many parts.  You&#8217;ve got to systemize your business into manageable chunks.  You&#8217;ve got to break everything down into a daily, weekly and monthly schedule of action steps.</p>
<p>For me, I keep it very simple.  I have three parts to my business&#8230;</p>
<p>* Offer creation.<br />
* List marketing.<br />
* Traffic generation.</p>
<p>I create a new offer.  I market it to my list.  I drive traffic to the offer site.</p>
<p>End of story. </p>
<p>I have a system I  use to create a new offer.  I have a system I use to write and send mailings.  I have a system I use for getting visitors to my site.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the same system I&#8217;ve been using since 2000.  Novocaine, folks.  Always works. </p>
<p>Create a checklist of action steps for ONE kind of offer.  Create a checklist of action steps for ONE way to build a monetize a list.  Create a checklist of action steps for ONE method of generating website traffic.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t try a bunch of things and do them average or poorly.  Find ONE method and do it WELL.</p>
<p>You want to UNcomplicate things.  You want a MINIMAL set of action steps.  You want to do the very least amount of different things as possible to achieve your goal.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve got to systemize your business into manageable chunks.</p>
<p>Then&#8230;</p>
<p>3. STICK.</p>
<p>Perhaps the most devastating thing in the life of the 95% of those who fail is this:  they don&#8217;t stick to it.</p>
<p>Seriously, that&#8217;s what failure is &#8230; it&#8217;s NOT DOING SOMETHING.  It&#8217;s quitting.  It&#8217;s coming up short of the finish line.  It&#8217;s NOT DOING SOMETHING.</p>
<p>When you narrow things down to ONE way of making money and then create a simple checklist of MINIMAL ACTION STEPS to make money, you absolutely must STICK TO IT.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t quit.  Don&#8217;t quit.  Don&#8217;t quit.</p>
<p>Despite me saying this, most reading it will quit anyway.</p>
<p>A &#8220;new&#8221; offer of the week will come along and they&#8217;ll get distracted.  Someone well respected in the industry will convince them that the latest trick is the &#8220;most important thing you&#8217;ll ever do&#8221;  (Talk about a new verse of the same song!)  Things won&#8217;t happen instantly, overnight like other people promise.</p>
<p>Listen, you can rationalize the decision to quit in a thousand different ways.  You can make excuses for why you should move on and try something else.</p>
<p>Label it whatever you want, but just below the surface you&#8217;ll see this word tattoed on your being in permanent ink &#8230; failure.  If you quit, it&#8217;s all the same &#8230; it&#8217;s NOT DOING SOMETHING.</p>
<p>I know it&#8217;s hard to stick to things when there LITERALLY is a new offer in your face every single day.  Most people just can&#8217;t resist that temptation.</p>
<p>So, do this:  find yourself one mentor that you trust and believe and remove yourself from everyone else&#8217;s list.  Just cut that temptation off at the root.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, I can tell you this.  I&#8217;m about to celebrate 10 years online.  I make more money than ever and work less than ever.  I promise you, I know what I&#8217;m talking about here.</p>
<p>If you want to do well online,  you&#8217;ve got to STREAMLINE, SYSTEMIZE and STICK.</p>
<p>You can stop reading right now and apply what I&#8217;ve told you so far and you&#8217;ll be right on target in six months.  Pay attention to what I&#8217;m saying.  You don&#8217;t need what I&#8217;m about to offer you.  I know that&#8217;s contradictory to most people&#8217;s sales pitch.  I&#8217;m supposed to convince you to buy something from me right now.  And it&#8217;s true that I do have an offer for you.  But I&#8217;m telling you up front, you can do everything I&#8217;ve told you above and be fine on your own.  You don&#8217;t need my offer.</p>
<p>Now, for those who want some hand-holding and some specifics for the three keys above, I can help you.</p>
<p>I can personally (one-on-one) answer your questions, help you create a daily schedule and give you some specific action steps to take each week to build a streamlined, systemized and sticked plan of action.</p>
<p>All the details are at <a href="http://www.SixFigureFormula.com">http://www.SixFigureFormula.com</a></p>
<p>Due to the personal interaction with me, there are only 50 spots available.  Once they are sold out, they are gone.  I can only take 50 students since I&#8217;ll be personally interacting with you EVERY DAY for four weeks.</p>
<p>Check it out at <a href="http://www.SixFigureFormula.com">http://www.SixFigureFormula.com</a></p>
<p>Regardless of whether we create a plan together or if you do it independently, it&#8217;s time for you to sing a new song. Good luck!</p>
