I have an email in my auto-responder that asks my subscribers…

“What level of marketing are you currently at?”

I’ve found that a surprising number of subscribers are just starting out and haven’t made any money online yet… I want to change that. So, I’ve written this short guide to help you start making $1,000 per month quickly. It’s very brief. I might elaborate on it at a later date.

As always I’ll present this business model in a step by step way so you can get going with it quickly.

Step #1
The Market

First you need to pick a target market. You should target a broad market with a lot of products to promote. Things like weight loss, dating, money making, health etc. Check the Clickbank marketplace to make sure there are a number of products you can promote.

Step #2
The Fundamentals

You need a domain, hosting and an auto-responder. You’ll need these throughout your online career. For hosting I use Bluehost.com and register my domains through them as well. For an auto-responder I use Aweber.

Step #3
The Free Report

You need to create a report that you give away to encourage visitors to part with their email address. The report only needs to be 5-10 pages. You can write it yourself, hire someone else to write it, compile a series of private label articles or simply use a private label report.

Step #4
The Squeeze Page

We need a simple squeeze page now that encourages people to submit their email address. Here’s one of my squeeze pages that you can model yours on.

Step #5
The Opt-In Process

Once a prospect opts-in redirect them to a page which explains how to confirm their email address. Also present them with an offer for an affiliate product.

Once a prospect has confirmed their email address, redirect them to the download page. After the download link present them with another offer for an affiliate product.

These are just small ways to squeeze money from your opt-in process.

Step #6
The Follow-Up Sequence

The follow up sequence is where the real money is made.

You need to create a deep, cash producing follow- up sequence. This is where you schedule emails to go out on set days after a prospect has subscribed. The emails should include valuable, informative articles, as well as promotions for affiliate products. Even in the articles you can include subtle affiliate links.

Here’s how I set up most of my follow-up sequences.

Day 1: Article

Day 2: Article

Day 3: Promo

Day 5: Article

Day 7: Article

From then on I schedule emails four days apart with about 70% of emails being content and 30% promotions. Develop your sequence so that it’s very deep and goes on for at least a year. You don’t have to create a whole years worth of content before you start getting subscribers. Have a weeks’ worth of emails ready and just keep adding to them as time goes on.

Super Time Saving Tip: Many product owners offer their affiliates tools, including ready made solo emails and reprintable articles. Simply plug these into your auto-responder and you don’t have to worry about content creation. Another way to save time is to buy a ready made follow up sequence. You can get some of these for a variety of niches at: http://www.plrminimart.com/annualplr.html

Subscribers will continue to get emails until they decide to unsubscribe. Many will purchase a product from you. Some will purchase two, three, four, five or more.

You can find products that pay over $100 commission or you can find membership sites that pay commissions monthly to ramp up your profits.

Once you get a feel for the best converting offers, move them to the front of your follow-up sequence. Subscribers are more responsive the newer they are.

Step #7
Driving Traffic

Everything is set up now, it’s simply about driving traffic now. The more leads you pump into your follow-up sequence, the more money will drop into your bank account. It’s as simple as that.

I’m not going to talk about generating traffic in this article. But I am going to send you somewhere that will teach you how to drive THOUSANDS of visitors per DAY to your squeeze page.

Do you know how much money you would make with this business model if you are driving thousands of visitors to your squeeze page every day?

Anyway, I used to SUCK at getting traffic. I’d struggle to get over 30 visitors per day. Then I got Automatic Traffic Blast, implemented the strategies and now I get thousands of visitors every single day.

I really can not recommend it enough. It’s incredible. It’s the best traffic generation course I’ve ever bought. And if you get it too, and implement it, you’ll start to get thousands of visitors per day.
