300 Sales In 72 Hours WITHOUT Lifting A Finger (Here’s How I Did It!)
Last week, in THIS blog post, I revealed how I’ve developed a system that automatically gets me sales and subscribers. There were a lot of fantastic comments. I think you realise now what a simple business model it is – and how profitable it can be.
This is just a short post to give you even further motivation that this is the business model for you.
Here’s what happened.
Every Saturday, me and my friends at university, gather for 3pm to watch all the football (soccer) results come through. Last Saturday we’d just settled down with a few beers and I decided to check my email one last time.
My email showed that I’d made three new sales of Accelerated List Building. That’s not unusual, but what was unusual was that they had all come in the last three minutes. I checked the sales receipts and noticed that they’d all come from the same affiliate. I checked the name of the affiliate and immediately recognised the name. He’s not one of the big guru marketers, but he’s definitely a guy with a lot of power, and I assume a pretty big list.
From that point on, I knew I was in for an exciting few hours. I completely lost focus on the football, and instead spent most of the time with my laptop open watching my emails.
A new sales receipt was coming through every one, two or three minutes. This carried on for about four hours, and then the sales gradually started to decline. (Although there were still sales coming through every 10-15 minutes).
By the next morning sales were still being generated by this affiliate at a rate of about one sale per half an hour, but then by the early afternoon something strange happened.
The sales started flooding in again at a rate of every few minutes. I checked a few sales receipts and noticed most of these sales were from another affiliate. After a little bit of digging, I found out that this affiliate had purchased my product a few hours earlier after being referred by the previous affiliate.
Then more sales started coming through from customers who had become affiliates. Sales were flooding in and all because of the viral nature of the business model.
After only 72 hours, I’d made over 300 sales!
You see, on my download page I explain six steps my customer should take to get the most from their purchase.
Step 1: I explain they should confirm their email address to get updates, great content and special offers.
Step 2: I provide them with the download links for Accelerated List Building.
Step 3: I reveal a special offer where they can grab a DVD to an entire two day workshop for just the price of postage. If a customer decides to take this offer then they get given a fully disclosed two week trial to a $97 per month continuity program. I’m a member myself and believe it to be the best coaching club in the market. Anyway, I get 50% of each rebill. Here’s the offer in case you want to check it out.
Step 4: I encourage my customer to check out a special offer for The Super List Building System. It’s a $297 box set. It was an intensive six week training course I took with a top marketer. It was a fantastic course, so I paid a lot of money to grab a reseller license so that I can share it with my customers. You can take a look at it here.
Step 5: I give the download links for all the bonus products I advertised, plus I include a few extra bonuses I didn’t advertise. Over delivering like this helps to cement solid relationships with customers.
Step 6: (This is the clever bit) I explain to my customer how they can become an affiliate and resell Accelerated List Building to make instant commissions. A large proportion of them at least register as an affiliate and some of them do a promotion, whether it’s just a Tweet to their followers, a review on their blog, or a solo mailing to their subscribers. Plus, once I have someone registered as an affiliate, I use a secret system to encourage them to promote my product. I’ll reveal exactly what I do in a new blog post either tomorrow or the day after. If you’re interested in becoming an affiliate then take a look here.
I hope this gives you some motivation to go out and implement this business model. Here’s the model again so you can get going today!
I hope you enjoyed this!
Leave your comments below and let me know what you think.
I’ll be back tomorrow or the day after with some more great stuff!
Talk soon,

Hi James,
This is one of the best ways to get affiliates. I started to use this process for one of my new products I created a little while ago. Not only do you build a list, but you build affiliates at the same time.
I didn’t come close to 300 sales though but as you post shows you NEVER know who will become an affiliate and what type of power they have
Take Care,
Chris

Hi James
Great Post mate, sharing your results is just fantastic, this is pure solid ACTION CONTENT… Love It
This is something that I’m definitely going to be doing soon.
Just a quick question James, Are you using the Rapid Action Script for the 100% commissions (affiliate Program) and is it worth using.
Take care James
Danny
PS. I Can’t live without Sky Sports on a Saturday afternoon watching Manchester United, but when something like that happens in your business, WELL what can I say lol..

James I’ve been impressed with a lot of your material. This is another instance of some great information that may help me and others to be able to finally be able to succeed online. I appreciate your efforts and believe when I say this that your emails stand out above a lot of others. Take care. Keep it coming.
