Hi Guys,

The last few days I’ve been experimenting with a new method of getting subscribers and more importantly sales. In fact, it’s not a new method. It’s one of the oldest and most talked about method of traffic generation, but not many people use it, and it was one of the first time’s I’ve used this method on any scale before.

This method is pay-per-click marketing, and especially Google Adwords. This blog post will reveal my Adwords experiment and how you can start getting subscribers and sales TODAY. In fact, in just a few hours.

Here’s what I did the other day that turned an old website generating just three or four subscribers per day into a feast of activity.

The site in question was a very simple three page website. There was a squeeze page, a confirmation page and a download page.

The squeeze page offered a free report in exchange for their email address. They were then instantly redirected to a confirmation page encouraging them to confirm their email address. On this page they were also encouraged to check out an affiliate offer I was promoting. Once a prospect confirmed their email address they were instantly taken to the download page where they downloaded the free report they subscribed for and then were again presented with the affiliate product. I also had only ONE message in my auto-responder sequence to go out 24 hours after a prospect subscribed.

This is a VERY simple site that any one of you could set up TODAY, and get your first subscriber just a few hours later. Plus, put some affiliate offers in place and you could have your first sale by the end of the day, too.

Anyway, back to my experiment.

The last few weeks I’ve been learning about Google Adwords as it’s a traffic generation tactic I’d like to add to my arsenal. I learned from a ton of free resources and many paid. By far the best was this inexpensive course from Perry Marshall. I’d heard everyone rave about Perry and his stuff so I got myself a copy and it’s already paid for itself in saved expenses and sales and subscribers generated. Plus, if you’re a new Adwords user you can get a coupon for $75 worth of free advertising. This enables you to test the ideas without risking your own money. Get all the details here.

Plus, Perry has a great free five day training course that you can get here.

So now I had a few ideas about to run a successful advertising campaign with Google Adwords so I set up my campaign with my keywords, my budget and my highest bid. And then I waited…

I was refreshing my Adwords interface every fifteen minutes. My ads were approved within about half an hour. My impressions were going up by hundreds – even thousands – every time and my clicks were steadily rising. My costs were accumulating too. I decided that as my ads were getting so many clicks that I’d reduce my bids. I also changed my targeting from “All countries and territories” to: USA, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand. I did this because I started to get a lot of subscribers from India and the Philippines and I doubted whether subscribers from these areas would have the funds to purchase the affiliate offers I recommend. The number of clicks I received started to dwindle, so I raised my bids again as the quality of traffic was much better. My clicks started to rise again.

I did this campaign as a three day test. I’ll activate it again, but I only wanted to do it for three days so that I could work out all my numbers and decide whether or not it has been profitable.

The campaign ended over 24 hours ago, so that means every single person who has subscribed now has received the first and only message in the follow up sequence. This was important for me so I can track the profit from each subscriber as they go through the opt-in process and from just the first message. It enables me to work out the average revenue generated from each visitor in the first 24 hours. Then I can set my ad bids to be lower or equal to this number and know that any money a subscriber generates me after the first 24 hours will be pure profit.

Here are the stats of my campaign.

Number of clicks: 2743
Total Cost: £164.58 ($245.63)
Cost Per Click: £0.06 (About $0.10)

Here are the stats of my opt-in process.

Number of form submits: 768 (28% conversion)
Number of confirmed opt-ins: 330 (43% confirmed)
Cost per confirmed subscriber: £0.49 ($0.73)

Total sales revenue: $202.61 (7 sales at approximately $26.36, plus three customers took an upsell for a further $6.03 commission each.)

In total I spent $245.63 and generated $202.61. That may not sound great, but remember this is from only the first 24 hours of having a subscriber.

There’s no doubt I’d now be able to turn this venture into a profit. If I added one more autoresponder message promoting a product, then I’d instantly have a profitable campaign. Imagine what would happen if I had 50 messages in my autoresponder sequence. I’d have a completely auto-pilot income stream.

Plus, let’s now analyse how I could optimize the entire process and how TINY changes will make huge differences to my total profit.

1. I could increase my ads click-thru rate. This will in turn lower my cost per click (CPC) so I’ll be paying even less for my traffic.

2. I could increase my squeeze page conversion. Using a split testing tool such as Google Website Optimizer I could create a number of different versions of my squeeze page and gradually up my conversion rate. Let’s assume I can reach a 40% conversion rate from my current 28%.

3. I can increase my confirmation rate. At the moment, only 43% of my subscribers are confirming their subscription. This is fairly low. Let’s assume that by rewording my confirmation page and including further instructions I can reach a 60% confirmation rate.

4. I can increase the click-thru rate of the first email in the auto-responder. It’s currently at 18%. With a better email subject and better email copy I could easily bump this to 25%.

Now let’s work out the new estimated number of subscribers using the estimated data above assuming that the number of clicks and cost remains the same.

Number of clicks: 2743
Total Cost: £164.58 ($245.63)
Cost Per Click: £0.06 (About $0.10)

Number of form submits: 1097 (40% conversion)
Number of confirmed opt-ins: 658 (60% confirmed)

By making only small changes at each step, we’ve DOUBLED the number of subscribers we receive and therefore potentially doubled, or tripled our income. Now we would be making a profit for each subscriber after only 24 hours. Everything we generate after that is PURE profit.

I’m going to re-enable my campaign now and work to increase my click-thru rates, conversions, confirmations and sales.

Adwords is an incredible way to drive insanely targeted floods of traffic to your website. Do you know of any other methods that could enable you to build a list of hundreds of subscribers in only a few days?

I strongly recommend you pick up a good Adwords guide and start to test with this powerful marketing resource and you could be getting subscribers and sales TODAY!

There are plenty of great Adwords guides out there, but also plenty of bad ones. If you want a guaranteed good one, then pick up a copy of Perry Marshall’s The Definitive Guide To Google Adwords.

Plus, get a copy of his freebie course “5 Days To Success With Google Adwords”.

I hope you enjoyed reading the results of my experiment as much as I enjoyed carrying it out. Go and try it for yourself and let me know how you get on.

The last few weeks I’ve been experimenting with a new traffic source. It’s not actually new, but it’s something I haven’t used much before.

It added an extra 893 subscribers to my list and produced a significant amount of revenue. Plus, now that I have these subscribers they will continue to produce more revenue for many months to come.

The method I used was: paid solo ads.

A solo ad is a full length email that is delivered to another person’s opt-in email list. It essentially enables you to “borrow” a fellow marketer’s mailing list for one email. The job of your solo ad is to get as many people to your offer as possible, and to get as many of them as possible to take your offer.

I’ve been using this marketing tactic fairly aggressively in the last few weeks. It’s given some great rewards, but also some massive failures.

In this blog post I’ll reveal how I did it, what I did right and what I did wrong – massively wrong!

Firstly, I found prospective partners through The Warrior Forum. The WF plays a massive part in my marketing. It’s where I learn the majority of the techniques I use in my business, it’s where I find joint venture partners who have generated tens of thousands of dollars for me and them selling my products and it’s where I found my solo ad partners.

I simply started a thread asking if anyone would sell me a solo email to their subscribers. I asked for only a few details:

1. Their list size.

2. Their typical response rates (number of click thrus) for an email.

3. The price they would charge for a solo email.

A lot of people sent me emails and I had a number of partners I could choose from.

Partner 1 had an email list of 50,000 and was charging $600.

Partner 2 had an email list of 17,000 and was charging $130.

Partner 3 had an email list of 17,000 and was charging $197.

Partner 4 had an email list of 16,000 and was charging $120.

Partner 5 had an email list of 11,000 and was charging $47.

Partner 6 had an email list of 5,000 and was charging $100 but was guaranteeing 250 clicks.

Partner 7 had a Facebook group with 1,100 members. Because I wasn’t sure how this would perform we agreed a fee of $0.50 per confirmed opt-in plus a $5 upfront fee.

I’ll reveal how each of these performed in a minute, but first I’ll let you know the mistakes I made.

Mistake #1
Not Tracking Properly

For the first solo ads that were delivered I didn’t track the number of clicks each marketer sent me. This meant I couldn’t measure the performance and work out whether a solo ad with this marketer was a good investment.

I learned my lesson eventually and set up a new page for each marketer I used with a new web form so that I could track the conversion rate and number of subscribers from each marketer.

Mistake #2
Not Trusting My Instinct

I had my doubts about the integrity of Partner 6. I should have trusted my gut as I’ll reveal in a minute.

Mistake #3
Get Proof

Partner 3 promised 600-1000 clicks from his email. I got 93. I should have asked each marketer for screenshot proof of their list size and their typical click through rate.

Those are the three main mistakes I made and it cost me a fair bit of money, but despite some of these emails performing so poorly, I assume I’ll profit from this venture (if I had tracked I’d know if it was profitable or not) – and I’ve learned a hell of a lot.

The Results

Like I’ve already said, a lot of the emails underperformed, but some did fantastically – here are my results. Some are only estimates due to lack of tracking!

Partner 1 – 300-350 new subscribers. That’s about $2 per subscriber, but I’m fairly confident that I’ve made my investment back already and any revenue these subscribers produce now will be pure profit.

Partner 2 – This resulted in at least 180-200 subscribers which is less than $1 per subscriber. It’s fair to say I’ll definitely be using this marketer again.

Partner 3 – Like I’ve already mentioned I only got 93 clicks from this email and 48 subscribers. I expect to make a loss here. This is one of the emails I tracked.

Partner 4 – This mailing produced about 120 subscribers which is just about $1 per subscriber. A definite profit has been made here.

Partner 5 – At only $47, this was perhaps the most profitable mailing resulting in 150 subscribers and a subscriber cost of $0.30.

Partner 6 – The mailing was due to be delivered on the 4^th February. When it wasn’t delivered by the 5^th I contacted her. I haven’t had any response and have therefore filed a Paypal dispute. I should have trusted my gut instinct on this woman.

Partner 7 – This was the most interesting of all the mailings. I knew I couldn’t lose out on much money because I was paying $0.50 per subscriber so it was performance related. This was a mailing to a Facebook group and produced 15 new subscribers. It may not sound like much but it’s educated me on the potential of mailings to Facebook groups.

In total I received about 893 subscribers based on my estimations for a cost of $1,114. < I worked that out in my head so I might be wrong.

I’ll definitely be doing this again but much more effectively next time.

It’s definitely a strategy I recommend, but first make sure you have a plan to monetize your subscribers. I know that each subscriber is worth a certain figure to me and can therefore pay accordingly.

Work out your numbers before you dive into this method of list building.

One more paid method of list building I strongly recommend is to pay other people to build your list for you. It’s not as risky and you can pay someone about $3 per hour to work nonstop on building your list for you.

They write and submit articles for you, they post in forums for you, and they leave blog comments for you. They do all the hard, boring and monotonous tasks that bring you steady traffic, subscribers and sales.

Think about this…

If you could pay someone $3 per hour and they made you $10 per hour – how many people would you employ?

A few months ago I purchased a DVD from Lee McIntyre called Automatic Traffic Blast. The DVD reveals 12 different processes that you can give to someone else to do for you to start driving massive amounts of traffic for you.

The DVD reveals where you can go to find these workers for cheap, and Lee even gives you proven adverts to place on outsourcing websites to recruit these workers.

Not only that, but Lee provides you with instructions that you can simply hand to your workers detailing EXACTLY what they have to do to start driving traffic for you.

You could employ one worker for 10 hours per week to drive a steady and consistent flow of new subscribers and sales. If that works out to be profitable, then you could employ that worker for 40 hours per week and ramp up your traffic. Then you can get a second, third, fourth and fifth member of staff all working for 40 hours driving traffic to your website.

How much traffic do you think you’d get per day with five full time employees?

Lee McIntyre’s Automatic Traffic Blast gives you a plug and play system so you can start outsourcing your traffic generation so you can sit back, relax and watch the subscribers and sales roll in.

Take a look at Automatic Traffic Blast here.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this insight into my business. Give it a go yourself, and don’t forget to check out Automatic Traffic Blast.

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!

I’ve written this article quickly to share with you how I’m able to build massive lists of PROVEN buyers that trust, like and WANT to buy from me and how this system can be replicated in any niche you want to.

I’m sure a lot of you understand now that having a list of subscribers is the most guaranteed way to make money online. Even better than that though: having your own list of subscribers who have previously BOUGHT something from you is a sure fire way to online wealth. (Providing your list is large enough and you treat them well, of course!)

I’ve developed my own system (I say it’s my system, but there are hundreds of others using this and to great effect, but I’ve tailored it and adapted it to work just that little bit better than average) to build massive, auto-pilot lists of PROVEN buyers with just a few hours of work per week.

It’s a fantastic system, and if you’ve been struggling to decide which route or system to follow with your business, then this might just be the one for you!

Here it is, in a step-by-step, do-this, do-that system for you to copy and follow. Plus, I’ll use one of my real life examples. (In fact, this example is probably the reason you are one of my subscribers!)

Step #1
Develop Your Front End Product

The first thing we want to be doing is selling a low priced, high value front end product for between $7-15. These products are great because you can deliver extreme value at a very low price to your customers. This will make them love you and want to buy from you in the future.

Your product can be a special report about 15-20 pages long, or an audio or a video about an hour long. In truth, the length doesn’t matter, as long as you deliver solid, actionable content that your readers will be happy with.

The example I’m using is my product Accelerated List Building. It’s 27 pages of no fluff, do-this, do-that steps that anyone can follow to build massive subscriber lists from scratch.

Step #2
Develop Your Front End Sales Page

Not everyone’s great at copywriting. In fact, I’m not very good either. I got lucky with Accelerated List Building because I had a believable story that had actually happened to me. It hooked readers in and pulled in the sales.

If you aren’t good at copywriting, then you’ll need to hire someone good for this step. It doesn’t matter what it costs, because a high front end conversion is essential to this entire system.

Accelerated List Building sells for $10 and I was happy at first when it was converting at 4%. But then I added a few more bonuses and edited some of the copy and now it converts at 7% for cold traffic and often over 10% for joint venture endorsed traffic. For that reason, affiliates LOVE to promote my product – and we’ll get to that now.

Step #3
Develop Your Affiliate Program

Our affiliate program is what makes our list building and our income so automatic. The great thing is we get other people to do 99% of the work for us utilising the resources they’ve spent years to develop.

I’m only going to recommend one affiliate management system because it’s the only one I’ve used and probably the only one you’ll ever need to get this system working.

It’s called Rapid Action Profits and you may have heard me mention it a few times!

One of the reasons RAP is so good is because you can automatically opt your customers into your Aweber mailing list without them knowing about it, thus building your list. And that’s the main aim of this system.

Set the commissions up so that you pay 100% on all front end sales. It may sound like a lot, but with low priced products like these, it’s the only way to get affiliates that will make substantial sales. Plus, we aren’t looking for front end revenue in this model.

The next thing you’ll want to do is develop an affiliate “sales page”. This is used to persuade a potential affiliate to join your program and promote your product. It doesn’t need to be too fancy. Take a look at mine here.

State the conversion data (if you have it) and outline the exact offer.

Next you’ll want to develop some affiliate tools, especially solo emails. Broadcasts to subscribers are how most affiliates will be promoting your product, so make your emails good. If you can’t write effective ad copy, then pay someone else to do it. Put these solo emails in your affiliate centre. You can take a look at my affiliate centre by becoming an affiliate.

Step #4
Building & Profiting From Your List

Like I’ve already mentioned, we want to build a list of buyers using this system so that we can profit from them way into the future.

Using Rapid Action Profits we can set it up so that once a customer purchases the front end product, then their email address is automatically added to our Aweber list.

Set your RAP system to do this for you automatically.

Next you need to develop a follow up sequence that funnels your customers into other higher priced products. Remember: this is where the money is.

Because these subscribers have previously purchased a product from you and (hopefully) had a positive experience, then they’ll be ten times more likely to purchase products you recommend compared to an ordinary subscriber.

Step #5
Recruiting Motivated Affiliates

Because I have an affiliate program that delivers a fantastic visitor value for my affiliates, I have 790 registered affiliates. 121 of these affiliates have made AT LEAST one sale. I have one affiliate who has over 300 sales (and gets 3-4 per day, every day), I have two affiliates who have over 200 sales each, and I have five affiliates who have over 100 sales each, as well as countless others who have made 10+ sales.

There is one thing more than any other that motivates affiliates: money. The more money an affiliate can earn per visitor they send, the more affiliates you will recruit. In the next step I’ll reveal how I’ve improved my affiliate program to maximise the visitor value to get top affiliates.

For this step though, here’s a few ways to FIND affiliates for your product:

1. Find people in your market with mailing lists by searching for your main keywords in Google.
   
2. Find people publishing articles on EzineArticles.com
   
3. Find fellow product owners in your market through the Clickbank.com and Paydotcom.com market places. Often a reciprocal mailing for their product will encourage them to promote your product.
   
4. Find bloggers in your market and ask them to write a review of your product on their blog.
   
5. Post on forums, such as The Warrior Forum in the JV section, asking if anyone would be interested in promoting your product.

There’s a few ways to get you started.

Step #6
Increase Your Visitor Value, Increase Your Number Of Motivated Affiliates, Increase Your Number Of Sales, Increase Your Profits

As I’ve already said – affiliates promote products that can give them the biggest visitor value. The higher we can increase our visitor value, the more affiliates we can get, and the more sales will come.

Here’s a few things I’ve done to increase my VV for Accelerated List Building:

• Increase your front end sales conversion. Remember how I said that I increased my sales conversion from 4% to 7% on cold traffic? That led to a $0.40 visitor value increasing to a $0.70 visitor value. So every 100 visitors would give me an extra $30. For JV endorsed traffic the conversion rate has remained steady at around 10%.
  
• Add a OTO. Once a customer purchases Accelerated List Building they instantly see a OTO for a $14.95 per month membership. About 18% join this membership and on average stay a member for three months. The OTO is for Exponential List Building and I give affiliates 50% commission.
  
• Add an up sell. On the download page a customer sees an offer for The Super List Building System for $297. This DVD course is also sold through a series of emails. It’s only been added as an up sell recently, so no conversion data has been extracted yet, but if it just converts at 1% then that’s a massive increase on the visitor value. Affiliates get 50% commissions on this product too.

Using the conversion data above, here’s what an average affiliate could earn from just 1,000 visitors.

1,000 visitors = 100 sales of Accelerated List Building = $1,000

100 sales of ALB = 18 members to Exponential List Building X 3 months average stay at 50% commission = $404

100 sales of ALB = 1 sale of The Super List Building System at $297 and 50% commission = $150

So, from just 1,000 unique visitors an average affiliate can earn over $1,550.

Adding the OTO has increased the visitor value, and adding the up sell has increased the visitor value yet again to make it almost impossible for an affiliate not to promote my product.

I could optimize this further by:

• · Increasing the front end sales conversion even more
• · Increasing the conversion for the OTO
• · Increasing the member retention for the OTO
• · Increasing the conversion for the $297 up sell.
• · Adding more up sells that affiliates can earn from.

This is such an easy business model, such an easy way to build a list, and such an easy way to create an automated income online that grows continuously.

Imagine selling 5,000 copies. Imagine how much money you could get through OTO sales. Imagine how much money you could make through your up sells. Imagine how much money you could make from doing a broadcast to 5,000 BUYING subscribers.

This is only a brief overview of the entire process. The Super List Building System reveals EXACTLY how to replicate this system to produce maximum profits. I’d have loved to have shared the incredible content that I learned from that course but unfortunately I’m not legally allowed to! Grab your own copy to discover how you can build a list of 1,000 buyers in 31 days or less.

Give this system a go, and leave a comment below if you’ve found value in this. Plus, shoot me an email if you need help with any of the steps or have any questions.

Plus, before you go…

I recently finished up a special report revealing how you can leverage the hard work and effort of your competitors to build a massive list of PROVEN buyers, and believe me, it’s not what you think.

That’s it for now.

Hi everyone

If you’ve been keeping up with my emails in the last few weeks and months, you will have noticed the launch of my latest product Accelerated List Building.

I launched it about 10 weeks ago, and so far I’ve made 783 sales, despite having to study for exams for about a month of this time. That’s over 78 sales per week, or 11 sales per day. In this blog post I’m going to share how I’ve managed to generate such a consistently high number of sales every week on complete auto-pilot… and how you can do the same.

First of all, here’s proof.

If you’ve read my report Accelerated Niche Profits (you can download your copy HERE), you will know that my favourite business model is to create a low value $7-15 entry product and then to funnel these customers into higher priced products. I’ve funnelled Accelerated List Building customers into a number of higher priced products.

First of all after a customer purchased I presented them with a $17 one time offer (OTO). 104 customers purchased the OTO. 67 of those payments were made to me, the rest were made to affiliates. That’s $1,139 straight off the bat.

As a result of Accelerated List Building, I’ve sold 9 copies of a $197 product at 50% commission, 5 copies of a $97 product at 50% commission and 5 copies of a $47 product at 50% commission. That’s 1.25k in sales, bringing the total to around $2,400.

The best thing of all though, is that I’ve funnelled about 53 of my customers into a $97 PER MONTH coaching club. It’s called the Momentum Gold Coaching Club. Who knows what that could be worth over the next few months and years? Potentially tens of thousands of dollars on complete auto-pilot.

Here’s how I’ve done it so you can replicate my success.

First of all, you need a hot product in a hot market. Target the mass markets, such as weight loss, make money, self improvement, relationships etc. but target a specific section of this market. So if you were targeting the relationships market then you could create a $10 product about how to get your ex back. If you want to discover how to create a HOT product in under 24 hours, then take a look at 24 Hour Product Creation

Create a HOT salespage that converts like crazy. Accelerated List Building converts at an average of 7%, but has converted up to 10.2% with endorsed JV traffic. Affiliates will only promote products that convert.

Pay affiliates 100% commission on your front end product. Affiliates love this. Use the Rapid Action Profits script to manage it all. It’s a fantastic script.

If you can, set up a OTO for between $17-47. Pay affiliates 50% on the OTO. This will just sweeten the deal for them making them more likely to promote.

Make sure that once a customer purchases your product they are automatically added to your list. This is very simple to do with Rapid Action Profits.

That’s the fundamentals set up. Now it’s time to start getting sales.

First of all, if you have an existing list of subscribers related to the product then blast an email out to them. When I launched Accelerated List Building I sent an email to my existing subscribers and had made over 110 sales in 72 hours. The power of a list is incredible.

The only other traffic generation strategy I’ve used to promote Accelerated List Building is to recruit JV partners and affiliates.

I’m going to outline a number of methods I used to FIND affiliates, and then I’ll reveal how to make sure they promote for you.

First of all finding affiliates:

Go to your favourite search engines and type in keywords related to your product. So if you’ve created an anti-aging product, then type in ANY phrase you can think of such as “anti aging tips”, “anti aging secrets”, “look younger”, “feel younger”, “anti aging foods”, “anti aging supplements”. Also try searches such as “anti aging blog” and “anti aging newsletter”. Make a note of the top sites and their email address. Contact them with a unique JV proposal.

Go to EzineArticles.com and go to the category related to your product. Look at the most recently added articles and click through to the link in the resource box. Find a contact email on that website and contact them with your proposal. This is a good method because the majority of authors on EzineArticles.com are marketers and so understand affiliate marketing.

Go to Clickbank.com and search through the marketplace. Find related, but not competing, products and contact the owner asking him/her to promote your product.

Using the above three methods should enable you to find literally hundreds of affiliates that you can contact. BUT, getting people to promote for you is not as simple as simply sending a generic email to hundreds of people. Here’s what your proposal email should include.

Firstly, you should include conversion data. Affiliates want to promote products that produce the greatest amount of profit for them. If you can prove that your product converts at 10% then affiliates are going to want to promote. Stress the point that for every visitor they send they will get an average of $1 for every single visitor they send.

Secondly, include a review copy of your product. Affiliates are only going to promote products that their customers will love. Your product needs to be top quality if you are to get the best quality partners to promote for you.

Thirdly, offer the affiliate a bonus for a high number of sales. If an affiliate makes 30 or more sales, I allow them to add an auto-responder message to go out to my 4,000 internet marketing subscribers. This allows you to secure the bigger affiliates and that’s what you want.

Finally, offer the affiliates tools, such as solo emails so that they can promote right away.

Lee McIntyre has a fantastic video called The JV Scalpel. It reveals the exact steps he takes to make sure he gets BIG affiliates promoting for him. Take a look here.

I aim to contact three or four potential affiliates per day, but due to exams and other commitments I’ve barely spent any time doing this. Yet still the sales keep rolling in.

And the more sales come in, the more buyers I get on my list, the more buyers I funnel into higher priced products, and the more buyers I funnel into the $97 per month coaching club.

This is an incredible business model that ANYONE can replicate… including you!

Just go and do it!
