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.

Talk soon,

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 4th February. When it wasn’t delivered by the 5th 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.

I’m very, very excited for you to be reading this today because I’ve got a very important, very exciting announcement. So, before we get into the fantastic content, let me tell you the exciting news.

I’ve told you a few times in the last few weeks that I was working on a new project. I was also hoping to have launched it by now, but a few technical issues have delayed it all. But now we’re ready to go – and I want you to jump on board!

What I’ve been working on is a membership site called ‘Exponential List Building’. It’s a follow-up to my report ‘Accelerated List Building’.

Exponential List Building is a six month complete training course designed to take you from list building beginner to list building pro. My aim is that each graduate of Exponential List Building is able to build a list of subscribers that can produce four figures in sales from just one broadcast.

As a member, each month you will receive one training report revealing a technique I use in my business to add an average of 500 subscribers per month to my list. Not only that but I’m also going to be sharing some of the most powerful reports, videos and audios related to list building and online marketing.

I just know every member is going to love it!

We’ll be launching this Thursday 29th October at 12 midday EST (4PM GMT). Make sure you stick it in your diary and keep an eye out for an email from me on Thursday. There will be a massive discount running for the first 5 days – so don’t miss out on this!

Anyway, more of that to come on Thursday – but now let’s dive into the fantastic content.

This article is a simple, easily replicable system to begin your very own virtually automatic six figure business using tried and tested, proven online marketing strategies. Let’s do this in a step-by-step system, just like always.

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.

Another option is to target a market that you understand or have a passion for. Understanding the needs of the market puts you in a better position to sell to them, and having a passion for the market ensures you never lose your drive or motivation.

You may want to use keyword tools to assess the demands of this market and the scope. Search for “Google keyword tool” for one of the most accurate and free tools.

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. There are cheaper options, but it’s not worth skimping and saving on the prices of these essential tools.

Without these tools you just couldn’t run a sustainable, automatic online business.

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.

It’s important that this report oozes quality. You want your subscribers to know that you only provide great quality content. This report is the most important part of the process.

It’s important you write a report about a common and painful problem that a large portion of your market has.

The title of the report is important as well. It’s the first thing that sells your report. Which of these reports would you rather download?

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.
http://www.turn-back-the-clock.com

It’s important that you can get your squeeze page to confirm at a rate of at least 30% - although 40% is much better.

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. This is one way to instantly squeeze some money from your subscribers before they’ve even began your email sequence.

Once a prospect has confirmed their email address, redirect them to the download page. After the download link present them with another offer for a different 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: Top quality content

Day 2: Top quality content

Day 3: Promo

Day 5: Top quality content

Day 7: Top quality content

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.

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. I’ve found that there are always four or five subscribers that purchase 80% of the items you promote.

You can find products that pay over $100 commission (or more) 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.

This is the hardest part – yet without it you won’t make a penny.

That’s why I’ve created my Exponential List Building membership. Every month I’ll be delivering training to help you with this aspect. Each month you’ll receive a training report that, if you follow, will produce hundreds of subscribers for you every single month.

I’m so excited for you to see the fantastic content I’m delivering. So, add 29th October at 12 midday EST (4pm GMT) to your diary and make sure you’re online to take advantage of the massive introductory discount.

If you have any questions, please leave them below – and you’ll be hearing from me very soon.

Thanks for reading.

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.

http://www.turn-back-the-clock.com

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.

I really hope you’ve enjoyed this blog post and that it helps you make your first dollars. And if it does, then drop me an email and let me know :)

Before you read this article, take a look at a fantastic free report from Justin Michie. It’s called Unstoppable List Building and reveals a fantastic technique on page 30 that enabled him to build a list of 10,000 subscribers in just two weeks. Download your copy of Unstoppable List Building by clicking HERE.

List building can take a lot of time simply because many strategies do not work right away. A perfect example of this is article submissions. You can wait weeks or months for your articles to make their way onto other people’s sites. There are much better methods available to you.

Here are five free strategies that will enable you to build your list much more quickly.

1. Ad swaps involve finding other marketers in your niche, or a complementary niche, who have an equally sizeable list. You provide each other with ads to promote to your lists for mutual benefit. In essence, this doubles the number of your potential buyers and multiplies your chances of enticing people onto your own list.

2. Giveaways enable you to distribute viral materials that contain links to your opt-in form. By encouraging people to pass your giveaway around, you can quickly reach a significant number of prospects. With giveaway events, you can leverage the marketing efforts of the participating marketers.

3. Press releases can work faster than article marketing, although both are excellent ways to build your list. With press releases, web site owners and online magazine editors are looking for news. By making your opt-in offer newsworthy, you can create a press release that gets posted immediately onto those sites and through email newsletters.

4. Forum participation is an excellent way to reach out to people who are in your niche. Find niche-related forums, respond to people’s questions with valuable advice, and plug your squeeze page giveaway in your signature file.

5. Social marketing puts you right in front of the people who are most likely to want what you are offering. Visit relevant blogs and add snippets of helpful information in response to posts that refer to the topic of your giveaway. This is key. You want your plug to naturally flow with the topic of the post so that people will be anxious to find out how your product can help them.

When choosing social media sites and forums, make sure they allow do-follow links and that you can add live links in your signature file, as this is the whole purpose of this form of marketing. Not all blogs and forums allow active links.

All of these methods work. It’s a matter of finding the ones best suited to your offer. Forums and social media work best if they have a significant number of visitors or members. If the numbers are small, it will be tougher to get the traffic that you need to build your list quickly.

By utilizing all five methods, you can reach more of the right people faster. Meet their expectations, and you will grow your list.

List building is one activity that you can share with other marketers for your mutual benefit. Not only will you be able to grow your list in record time, but when done correctly, you can see the results of your efforts years down the road.

Issue #4

Hello and welcome to another great issue of the Accelerated Niche Profits newsletter. I’m writing this issue on a train from London to Devon. I’m off with Daisy for a couple of days break. She keeps looking over my shoulder and disrupting me so I expect this issue will take slightly longer than usual.

I’ve got another content packed issue this week with actionable marketing advice to help you make more money. Coming up today…

How To Get Your First 100 Subscribers The Easy Way

When subscribers email me with their questions, the most common seems to be…

“How can I build a targeted list of subscribers EASILY?”

Everyone wants their own list of subscribers. The freedom you have is incredible. If you need some extra cash, then you simply have to send a special offer at the click of a button and then watch the sales roll in.

It’s a fantastic feeling.

Many people struggle getting going though – so I’ve written this article detailing my personal experience to help you get going FAST.

For more help with list building, including how to get going and then growing your list at a constantly accelerating rate, then take a look at my best selling report Accelerated List Building.

Reaching the dizzy heights of 10,000, 20,000, even up to 50,000 subscribers or more seems like climbing Mount Everest. But when you break it down into chunks it seems a lot more manageable.

If you can get 100 subscribers, then all you need to do is replicate that 100 times and you have 10,000 subscribers.

I’m going to give you an inside peak into one of my small niche lists to show you how I generated over 100 subscribers with a $40 investment and two hours’ worth of effort. The list is actually now way above 100 and grows by about 5 or 6 per day.

So, how did I do it?

Step #1
The set-up

If you haven’t got a squeeze page set up yet collecting subscribers, then you need to do that first. I’m sure you’ve seen squeeze pages a million times before. Pick your favourites and model your own page on that.

The squeeze page I was driving traffic to in this experiment was http://www.firmupyourabs.com/1.html

That page took all of 20 minutes to create, yet it converts at around 35%. I haven’t even done any testing on this page. I could easily bump this conversion up to 50% with a few small tweaks.

Step #2
Find a writer, get some articles

We need some articles created now. You can write them yourself, but having them written for you is a much more time efficient method and you can get decent articles for very cheap.

Go to elance.com or scriptlance.com to find your article writer.

I paid $40 to have a writer create 10 articles for me. I also wrote 3 myself, giving me a total of 13 articles to use.

Step #3
Article submission

I then went to EzineArticles.com and submitted the 13 articles. 8 of them I submitted in March, the other 5 I submitted in April. (This was purely because I got bored and distracted).

Of course in the article resource box you want to link back to your squeeze page so the reader heads to your site and hopefully subscribes – after all that is the main goal.

Step #4
The results

Now is simply time to watch as traffic steadily and consistently rolls into your site. Your number of opt-ins rises and your profits grow exponentially as more people are added to your follow up sequence.

Here’s how my numbers panned out.

articleresults

In total my articles were read 2,155 times resulting in 403 clicks to my squeeze page.

Given that my squeeze page conversion was 35%, that means my $40 and two hour investment was worth 141 subscribers.

Ask any list builder what they would rather have - $40 or 141 subscribers and everyone would say the latter.

Not only that but I’m also getting organic search engine traffic due to a boost in rankings due to the backlinks created by these articles.

Many say article marketing is dead… I say it’s still very much alive and I’m living proof.

Quick Fire Income – The Best Offer Ever?

My Super Simple Business Model That YOU Can Copy

Over the last few years I’ve developed and refined a simple, easily replicable system for building a solid, long term, ever growing business in ALMOST any niche – and today I want to share my system with you all as my pay back to the WF.

As I always like to do, I’ll be presenting the system in a step-by-step method for you to get going with it quickly. You won’t discover any “groundbreaking” secrets, but this outline may help you organise all the knowledge you do have into one simple system.

Step #1
Market Identification

I know this sounds boring. Finding a market seems to be the first step in almost every single online business model – but it’s incredibly important. Getting this step wrong will break you before you even get going.

Fortunately, with this business model, picking a profitable niche couldn’t be any simpler. We’re not going for tiny markets – we’re going for the mass markets; things like health, making money, saving money, relationships, self improvement, home improvement, gardening etc.

By targeting these mass markets we have a never ending supply of JV partners, affiliates and more importantly… CUSTOMERS.

Step #2
Product Creation

Once you’ve chosen your main market, you need to identify a killer product to create. Remember we want to target the masses. We don’t want to create a product about “herb gardening” – the market isn’t big enough for us. Instead, go for something like “how to grow the perfect garden”. That opens up thousands more potential buyers.

Creating a product is much easier than you probably think. The product we’re creating doesn’t need to be long. 20 pages would be sufficient. The information should be quality and succinct. No fluff, no filler, just solid content.

There are a number of ways you can get a product created quickly.

  • Find an expert and interview them with 10 or so questions. This can be done by email, phone, video etc. Pay them a fee or just promise them plenty of exposure. Often they’ll be happy to do it.
  • Find a writer who has an in depth knowledge of your topic area and pay them to create your product. They may charge extra for their expertise – but as it’s only a short product it won’t cost an arm and a leg.
  • Get down your local library, rent five or six books on your chosen topic and compile the best information from the books into your report. (No plagiarism, please!)
  • Get ’24 Hour Product Creation’ from Lee McIntyre to discover how you can have your own product created in under 24 hours. Click here to get it.

Give your report a professional design and incorporate a few affiliate links in relevant places for extra profit power.

Step #3
Sales Page Creation & Pricing

This again is much more simple than everyone seems to make out. You need a salespage to sell your product. If you’ve targeted a hungry market then doing this is much easier than expected.

I have no idea how to tap into the “unconscious psychological desires” of prospects (even though I’m studying Psychology at uni) – yet I’m still able to create salespages that convert at around 10%.

The key to doing that is to find out what your prospects’ major problem is, emphasise that problem, and then present the solution (your product). Simple.

I typically price my products at around the $10 mark. It’s high enough so affiliates like it, but still converts at decent rates.

Step #4
Setting Up Your Site For Success

Like we just established, we’ll be selling our product for around $10. But before we start doing this, we need to set up our site in a way that squeezes as much profit as possible.

I use the Rapid Action Profits (RAP) script to handle all of this. The first thing we need to do is set our commission level at 100%. (Easy to do with RAP) Affiliates love this and it means the payments can go directly to their Paypal account. If you’re serious about recruiting affiliates and JV partners then this is essential.

Have buyers automatically added into your list once they purchase. If you are integrating with someone like Aweber then they will need to confirm their email address so offer them a bonus for doing so. (Easy to do with RAP)

You’ll also need to develop a money generating follow-up sequence. Load about 20 or so emails into your follow up sequence. Most of the emails should provide quality content of interest to the subscriber with a subtle pitch to relevant offers, and some should be simple solo emails with the main intention to get people to buy the product you recommend.

If you can, then set up a OTO at a slightly higher price point. $17-$27 has worked best for me. This is a good way to squeeze some extra profit instantly. Pay affiliates 50% on the OTO to attract more affiliates. Again, this is easy to do with RAP.

On your download page provide the customer with their purchase, offer some unadvertised bonuses (to kick off the reciprocity principle) and present them with a higher value product related to the product they just purchased. This can simply be an affiliate product you want to promote. Typical price points that I go for are $97-$297. These can be affiliate products that you get a commission for.

Step #5
Getting JV Partners & Affiliates

JVs and affiliates will be the lifeblood of your business. They’ll be sending pretty much all of your traffic and sales. Recruiting them is much more simple than I used to think. The keys to getting people to promote for you is:

  • Have conversion data with proof and make sure the conversions are GOOD.
  • Provide a typical visitor value. So if Joe Affiliate sends 100 visitors let him know he will make $100 on average, for example.

  • Be personal in your approach emails.
  • Provide a treasure chest of tools affiliates can use, especially solo emails.

Finding affiliates is also much easier than you think. Here’s a few ways you can find affiliates.

  1. Go to each of the main search engines, type in keywords and phrases related to your product. Go to the top 30-40 sites in each search engine and contact them all with your personalised JV proposal. Remember – try to find a phone number and ring them.
  2. Again, go to each of the main search engines and type in “your key phrase blog”. So if your product is ’20 Great First Date Ideas’, then search for “dating blog”. Try different variations too, such as “date ideas blog”, “how to pick up men/women blog” etc. Contact the blog owners and ask them to post a review of your product with their affiliate link, or to put a link or banner ad on the layout of their blog.
  3. Once more, go to all the major search engines and type in “your key phrase newsletter”. So, “dating newsletter”, “how to pick up women newsletter” etc. Contact the newsletter owners and ask them to include a recommendation for your product in their next email, or go all out and ask for them to give you a solo email. Remember the rule of reciprocity. Also try bestezines.com and look for newsletters in the category of your niche.
  4. Go to EzineArticles and the category related to your product. Look through the most recent articles in the category and follow the resource boxes in each article. Go through to the website in at least 20 different articles to find a variety of websites. Lots of these websites will be building a list or will have ad space to advertise your product. Also, go to the “Most Viewed” and “Most Published” articles and click through those author resource boxes. Contact the site owners with your JV proposal. Many of the sites won’t have much traffic, but it’s still worth contacting them.
  5. Go to Squidoo now and find some of the top ranked lenses in the category related to your niche. If the lens fits the topic of your product and you believe the readers of the lens may be interested in your report, then contact the lens master with a quick JV proposal. Often, I can never find contact addresses on Squidoo lenses, so I leave a comment in the guestbook saying something like. “Hi, great lens. I’ve given it 5 stars. I’m just leaving a note to let you know about a new product I’ve created that you could make money promoting on your lens. If you’re interested then head on over to my affiliate page at mysite.com/affiliates for more details and my contact email address. Thanks, James Penn”.
  6. Next, go to the Clickbank marketplace and browse through the products in the category related to your product. Find complimentary, but not competing, products and contact the product owners with your JV proposal. It’s much easier to get these types of JV partners to accept if you offer an ad swap. You promote their product to your list with your affiliate link and they promote your product to their list with their affiliate link.

Step #6
Diversify

Once you have one of these sites set up and running and generating consistent sales, then move onto another one. You could stay in the same market but with a different product and you can cross-sell to your existing buyers, recruit the same JV partners and use your same knowledge of the market.

Once you’ve set one of these sites up it’s very easy to do another. And once you see how easy it is to do with your first one, you’ll be eager to get going with it again.

Even better, because we’ve targeted the mass markets we have a never ending stream of buyers and affiliates.

With a little hard work, you could soon have a list of thousands of BUYERS eager to send you even more money. Those list builders amongst us know the power of having a significant list of buyers.

I hope this has helped some of you.

Everyone wants to build a list. It’s the easiest way to hands free, auto-pilot income. Once you have a sizeable list, you can be guaranteed a pretty hefty pay day whenever you want it. But many people struggle to build their list from scratch, so in this article I’m going to give you the five fundamental keys to build an exponentially growing list of subscribers in any niche.

Key #1
A Strong Offer

In order to get people to give you their email address, they’re gonna want some value. You can’t give away the same old resale rights crap anymore. You have to give away something unique that a LOT of people want; something that solves a major problem for a lot of people. A free report or an eCourse are the two most common opt-in incentives. Before you begin building your list you need to create your opt-in incentive.

Key #2
A High Converting Squeeze Page

The aim of a squeeze page is to convert as many visitors into subscribers as possible. You can see one of my most successful squeeze pages (and get a fantastic report) by clicking HERE.

Feel free to model your own squeeze page on my own.

The most important thing you must be doing is constantly testing and tweaking your page to boost conversions. I’m not happy with a squeeze page until it converts at around 50%. Create a variation of your page with a few tiny tweaks. Test it against the original. If it converts slightly better, then get rid of the original. Then create another variation and test that against the first variation. Keep doing this until your opt-in rate reaches around 50%.

Key #3
A Cash Producing Opt-in Process

When visitors subscribe, it means they are interested in what you have to say. This is the ideal time to sell to them. Once they opt-in redirect them to a confirmation page to explain how they can confirm their email address (if you are using double opt-in). On this page explain what they have to do to confirm their email address (in my report Accelerated List Building I share a fantastic technique to sky-rocket the number of people who confirm), and then present them with a special offer.

You’ll find a large number of people will take advantage of this special offer. They’ll then go and confirm their email address, and you can redirect them to a thank you page. On this page you present them with what they signed up for and then give them another special offer. Again, quite a few people will take advantage and this is more money in your back pocket before you’ve even sent any emails.

I recommend you subscribe over at http://www.acceleratednicheprofits.com just to view the entire opt-in process.

Key #4
A Content Packed Cash Producing Follow Up Sequence

Your follow up sequence is where the real money is made. If you get this part right then you will have money flowing in 24/7 without you having to lift a finger.

When creating my follow up sequences I follow a few rules.

  • Provide fantastic free content
  • Interact with subscribers (ask them questions, encourage them to get in touch)
  • Follow the 75% content 25% offer rule
  • Only promote fantastic products
  • Don’t overload subscribers with emails daily. I like to send an email every 3-4 days.

Again, you can see my follow up sequence by subscribing at http://www.AcceleratedNicheProfits.com

Key #5
Traffic, Traffic and more Traffic

It’s no use having the above four keys in place because without traffic because we won’t get any subscribers and we definitely won’t make any money. Traffic is the hardest part of online business. It’s also the most frustrating. But it can be a doddle with the help from an expert who actually practices what he preaches.

Automatic Traffic Blast is an incredible system, and if you follow it I guarantee you’ll start to see mammoth amounts of traffic within days. You can see what it’s all about HERE.

Here are some things you can start doing today however to ramp up your traffic.

  • Submit articles to article directories
  • Contact blog owners and ask if they can publish your articles in exchange for a link back
  • Comment on high traffic blogs and link back to your squeeze page
  • Answer questions on Yahoo Answers and link back to your site
  • Social networking (e.g. Twitter, Facebook etc)
  • PPC
  • Forum marketing

There are a few things you can begin to do, but if you want to seriously ramp up your traffic then get Automatic Traffic Blast

This is a very rough outline of the list building process. It’s a quick start guide to getting going. I’ve found there to be only one product on the market that reveals EVERYTHING about building and profiting from your very own opt-in list. It’s called the Super List Building System and is a complete step-by-step crash course to almost force you into taking action and getting your own online business up and running - in a matter of days… not months.

It more than just teaches you what to do, it also gives you a great big kick up the backside if you aren’t putting the steps into practice. This could be the product that motivates you to build your own online business very, very quickly.

You can get the Super List Building System HERE.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this article. I love writing things like this because I know it will help a lot of people. I have an exam on Wednesday and really should be revising, but this is much more fun :)
