Traffic Grab Review

James — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 14:23:05 +0000

Over the last three months I have been collating and recording a serious training product about getting targeted website traffic called “TrafficGrab“. I went through the last five years worth of traffic strategies I have tested. Next I mapped out and sytstemized the process my own team use. What was left was the trafficGrab system. Just the information you need and nothing else.

The first training modules are free and they cover:

How to research the right buying phrases
The best content to prepare to attract buyers
What site structure to use to harness conversions

The other (paid) modules cover:

Traffic – and LOTS of it
Conversions – so you make profit
Leverage – make event more profit!

What you can expect

There are 24 traffic Steps, a huge Mindmap and at least 9 hours of high quailty video in this full course. (Some people think I am a little crazy making all of this available for just a one time investment of only $79.95).

Start viewing the first modules from the course for FREE

Highlights from the course include:

How to get targeted traffic from scratch.
How to build a list of qualified buyers.
How to scale campaigns once you get conversions.

The big traffic channels are covered:

Facebook Traffic (Paid and Free)
Youtube Traffic (Video domination)
Google Traffic (Getting top SEO positions)
Affiliate Traffic
PPC Traffic (Pay-per-click)
RSS Traffic
Article Traffic
Web 2.0 Traffic
Email List Traffic
and way more….

Case Studies revealed

In this training I am showing a few case studies where I generated truly excellent sales results. You can see the EXACT campaigns and how I did it. It is not often you see real results laid bare like this. I am taking a big risk educating my competition. The system I have developed can be replicated. My students have been able to get similar results so perhaps you can get some value from this too.

TrafficGrab System reveals…

If you ever wanted to see how to generate 300,000 views per month on Facebook, or have more than one million dollars flow through your shopping cart each year, this is the place to see it. I’ve done it.

The introduction video is waiting for you here

OptimizePress Product Launch Software (James Dyson) Better Than Kajabi?

James — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 12:49:56 +0000

Internet marketing Designer James Dyson just launched OptimizePress his own WordPress based product launch / sales conversions software. I’m using it for my product launches and sales letter sites from now on.

Here’s why OptimizePress is so sweet

OptimizePress makes it super simple to create squeeze pages, sales letters, video pages, launch pages, bonus pages – pretty much any kind of offer page you’d want to create, you can create it with Optimizepress. It is easy to use and made for Internet Marketers. The platform used is WordPress so it ranks like crazy too.

James Dyson tested conversions on Millions of visits

Not only do the pages you can create with OptimizePress look AMAZING, then are also based on James’s proven conversion testing results, so they are designed to boost your optins and sales! James has worked with many high traffic sites (even mine) behind the scenes.

But what about Kajabi I hear you ask?

You might be wondering how OptimizePress compares to Kajabi. Well there’s no doubt Kajabi is a cool ‘looking’ platform and the hype abounds… It is a custom monthly fee based web application that is supposed to help you with launches and membership releases. (There are no cart or affiliate functionalities yet). Frankly Kajabi has no where near the same level of testing and integration I need from a solution.

Why I’m not using Kajabi

I will NOT be entrusting my front end sales data and content to someone else. Especially since that someone else appears to have far more focus on marketing than software service provision. I wonder what will happen when the next big launch comes along?….. will the product be supported? I like to have the control of my own content and sales sites. When you want to leave Kajabi will you LOSE EVERYTHING?. Also are you prepared to risk your data being potentially lost or mined in the meantime?

(Note: WordPress can be hosted in the cloud just like Kajabi if scaling is required). The very biggest product launches rely almost entirely on JV Partners and they pretty much ignore SEO because they close the door after a few weeks. Unless you are doing monster sized launches you probably don’t need anything more than OptimizePress on a standard WordPress blog.

Setup recurring sales machines

Most of my sites are evergreen and my talented outsource team can easily build and manage Optimizepress. Once you have access to the easy to use video squeeze pages and launch sequences you can make evergreen launch sites in multiple market segments. Perhaps save the monthly fee and put it towards a great cart instead. Now you will have a sweet front end that is SEO friendly, has CMS, integrates with carts and list building software.

Additional features

OptimizePress also has a few unique features of it’s own, including the custom shortcodes system which allows you to build stunning sales letters in minutes by dropping in custom elements like sub headlines, testimonial boxes, order boxes, bullet blocks and more!

Integrates with any cart

OptimizePress is also flexible enough to work with any shopping cart and affiliate program you want (works great with nanacast), and also has support for almost any autoresponder you can think of! Teaming Optimize press with Nanacast gets you the affiliate program, membership episodes and sales cart.

One Time Fee

You’re also going to get a multi-site license, meaning you can use this on as many of your OWN sites as you wish, for a one-time fee. If you use it for clients you can buy multi-use licenses.

–> Just look at how good the OptimizePress sales letter looks – this was created with the software too!

OptimizePress Product Launch Software (James Dyson) Better Than Kajabi?

John Carlton said NO to this…

James — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 12:23:54 +0000

John Carlton is one of the most critical, life changing mentors I have encountered. EVER. The skill he (amazingly) shares is essential. That skill of course is:

COPYWRITING

John Carlton

So powerful is John Carlton’s command on the copywriting world, he merely has to mutter ‘seminar’ and a trance like effect overtakes the minds of the BEST of the BEST sales writers. They fly from all around the globe to his ‘Action Seminar’. I mentioned to you that I was heading to this event on this blog first. I then packed my well worn ‘mac pack’ and off I went to the other side of the world again.

I was lucky enough to attend this seminar in San Diego
I scrawled a stack of NOTES into my journal like a crazed journalist! BOY, I am glad I did. This dog eared journal has been transforming my business ever since.

You couldn’t make it?
Now I am certain you would have liked to come and, for whatever reason, it may not have fitted perfectly into your travel plans. I get it, time is money and all that. This got me to thinking ‘if only I could share my notes’ you could get the gist of what went down. Wouldn’t that be cool? It would be a shame if you could never get inside that moment and experience the profitable lessons ever, so I did something for you.

I pestered John Carlton to let me release my insider notes.
Yes, I wanted everyone to know some of the best tips I gleaned from the John Carlton Action seminar. Not only that, I wanted to let you pass this around to your friends with tweets / Facebook posts and email! I took it upon myself to take up the cause on your behalf and hounded JC for three weeks to let me release these notes.

The first time I asked he said, “Please wait – be patient”.
Was he kidding? Me patient? I got to thinking, perhaps the grand master is trying one of those ‘take away’ things on me (this is not fast food by the way, it is the process of telling someone they cannot have something or they don’t qualify etc). If it was a take away it sure was working!

The second time I nibbled at him he said “NOT YET”
This guy has some chops, I’ll give him that. (Again this is not food. I still don’t know exactly what it means. Chops could be old-timer speak for “balls or experience”?). Eventually I broke down the resistance. It pays to be persistent when you believe in something enough. The third time I asked for the release of the report these magical words came through my gmail “Yes, you can”…..

….Gee, I hope it was worth it!

You can now download my NOTES
(However I recommend you do this before he wises up to my persistence ploy). This report was extracted from a private webinar I held inside my coaching forum called SuperFastResults. I hold webinars pretty much each week and I spilled the beans for paying members. This way they get to travel the world almost over my shoulder! Inside the report you will get the insider perspective on copywriting seminars!

DOWNLOAD the report free (no opt in!)

There is something VERY important in that report
The main thing I want you to pay particular attention to is the paragraph on top of the very last page (my favorite JC sayings). These explain the essence of what I get from my copywriting mentor and the driving force behind why I am releasing this report (especially the bit about DEADLINES). When you have no boss and no other constraints ‘no deadlines’ is a sure way to get nothing done.

By the way, who else other than me thinks John Carlton is the REAL deal?
How about John Reese, Dan Kennedy, Yanik Silver and the Mass Control / List Control Guru Frank Kern!. He is quoted on John’s famous Simple writing System blog saying “When John talks about changing your life, he’s not kidding around”. This is the guy who just sold several million dollars worth of List Control with what? – Copywriting!!! (Even videos are using the same sales lessons).

Why should you learn copywriting?
In the words of John Carlton:

“ALL the top marketers you know about,
online and offline, know how to write their
own sales messages.

And when it’s really, really, really freaking
important that it gets done right…… they
almost always actually DO it themselves.”

This works…
When you want to increase conversions to a level way beyond the average punter you should learn this skill too!! I have used what I learnt in videos, blog posts, ppc ads, live presentations and reports. This is the ONE skill that will most likely make you rich, when implemented. Luckily (and strangely co-incidentally) John Carlton is soon releasing his new Simple Writing System copywriting mentoring! Check out my John Carlton Simple Writing System Bonus

Frank Kern Best List Control Bonus

James — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:52:08 +0000

Grab the best List Control Bonus right here. Frank Kern is putting out his 4 week interactive training program with a video every Friday. There is an additional live group training each week.

James Schramko & Frank Kern

What is covered in List Control?
Frank will cover mindset, the ideal subscriber and how to build your own list getting machine. In the course you will see why most of the stuff taught by others about list building is wrong and why people need to view you as a friend they know like and trust.

Further expanding module one is: ‘How to attract subscribers and turn them into buyers’. Discover the good traffic sources versus the bad traffic sources. Frank says this will help you avoid pain, confusion and a lack of money. You can look forward to discovering the number one place to get traffic for free and several other things no one has ever taught you.

Your own website
This course also covers how to get your own website, how to get an email auto responder and to turn a first time subscriber into a buyer instantly. All the templates with the landing page and the thank you page are included in a non-technical, easy to use fashion.

Module Two
This module focuses on getting those subscribers and learning how to get the traffic from yahoo, Bing, MSN and Google adwords. Included in this module is a templated ‘friendly landing page’ that delivers real value to the visitors and subscribers to your list.

Live Proof
Frank promises to walk you through a live campaign by finding a product as an affiliate, making a sale and building a long term sustainable business. You will also access the four campaigns Frank has let people pay him $100k to roll out (that will work within days and have been tested across all different markets).

Leverage Strategies
With live group coaching calls and the addition of the leverages module (four very advanced long term escalation of profits campaigns) you will be taught how to implement strategies to become an instant celebrity in any market and charge the highest fees in the market place. Remember this has been tested in multiple niches and it is a simple process. It is akin to compressing the effectiveness in your business into mere days.

New Mass Control cutting edge strategies
Included is a ticket to the new 2 day San Diego Workshop where you can learn the three new products: JV Control, Product Control and Copy Control. This event is not a multi speaker event – it is just Frank and it will be filmed. If you cannot go then you can get the recordings instead according to Frank. This event will not be sold elsewhere.

The Rock Solid Frank Kern List Control Guarantee:
“Take the whole class and if you are not completely satisfied, keep the money.

Investment
$1997 USD or three part payment plan – see List Control for details and terms….

James Schramko List Control Bonus
When you buy List Control from my link I will get a commission (as long as you do not refund) so in this case I want to make this an easy decision for you. When you grab list control using the link below you will be placed on my FastWebFormula DVD pre-release list. After the refund period for List Control expires I will send you the full 12 DVD’s from my own three day event. They are so fresh they were just filmed last week and are due in April 2010. You will see the entire FastWebFormula strategies with special guests covering a range of topics such as licensing, local business consulting and advanced web 2.0 affiliate strategies.

Fast Web Formula is comprehensive!

I can’t show you the full map however I can tell you it covers these things:

The LIVE workshop sold for $3597 USD and the home study course will be expensive when it gets released to the public later. The lessons in this combined with Frank Kerns List Control will guide you to success beautifully.

Summary
I attended Mass Control Last year, it was pretty good. I bought Mass Control and received the monthly DVD for most of last year. Frank Kern is on top of his game with new products and I think anyone who can drive a frenzy of almost 100,000 email opt-ins for a product launch can probably teach you how to do it too! Thumbs up!

How To Claim
Step 1: Buy List Control from my affiliate link here
Step 2: Go to SuperFastHelp.com and paste your receipt there and your full name and shipping details so that I can check your order and send you DVD’s as soon as the List Control refund period is over. You will be sent a confirmation double opt-in client email.

How To Improve Your Online Business Even If you Think There Is Little Hope!

James — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 05:30:53 +0000

If things have not been perfect for you lately then you may be interested in this post. I recently had a chance to help out an internet marketing friend who visited my house for a ‘Biz tune up’. Hopefully some of the things I showed him will be helpful for you too.

From Bad To Worse??
Matt Bredel is a San Diego based marketer (seems like half the community is there these days!). Matt has been very successful in the markets of Biz Op education and lead generation. Things started to slide when there were changes in the FTC regulations, merchant rules and then to top things off his Ad Words account got slapped (actually closed for EVER!). This is not an uncommon situation for marketers who relied on some effective and lucrative strategies like paid traffic and high converting offers.

The old ‘all your Eggs in the one basket trick’…
If you are single source dependent (a tricky way of saying if you have all of your traffic or all of your income coming from mostly one place) you run the risk of losing it when rules or systems change. The flip side is diversification. You can be so ‘diversified’ that you have no focus and cannot get traction in any one thing….

How to protect your business
The solution is to be diversified within a focused segment. In my case I am almost exclusively focused on internet marketing. I apply my skills and techniques across many markets globally and with a range of clients spanning private right through to high-end corporate. I have traffic from many sources both offline and online and I deal retail B2C and wholesale B2B. I receive incoming funds from affiliate checks, clickbank, paypal, offline merchant accounts, and direct bank transfers. This means I have a fairly robust business that is not prone to failure if Google, Facebook, Paypal or a merchant provider try to change the rules.

How you can get fixed up
Over the course of well over four hours Matt Bredel and I (at my home lab in Sydney) plastered some whiteboards with notes and action items. I broke down the process bit by bit to rebuild his business with what he already had in place (plus a few minor suggested changes).

The core things to focus on when rebuilding your online business are:
- Assess what strengths, assets and passions you already have working for you
- Identify your (perceived) constraints and FLIP them on their head
- Shatter through your assumptions with NEW perspective
- Launch a LEVERAGE power strike that is SO simple yet hardly ever done!!!
- Implement an ACTION plan like your life depends on it!

Shockingly Powerful!
Among other shock waves, I suggested to Matt that he CLOSE one of his businesses to make more profit. After a detailed explanation he exclaimed: “The solutions were so simple, yet so powerful! ” . The video we captured has been turned into training and is currently available if you want to see what we did in more detail. (if you think it is expensive you are in for a nice surprise)…

We made an intro video you can watch here:

How To Improve Your Online Business Even If you Think There Is Little Hope!

Nanacast Essential Internet Marketing Cart

James — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 05:40:08 +0000

After cleaning up many outstanding projects over the holiday season, I moved on to building more new websites in just the last few weeks. Marketing income soared, especially after implementing strategies such as upsells, downsells and memberships. I was able to do this with the help of some internet marketing tools that anyone serious in the business should have. Among these tools is the Nanacast system which I’m loving more every time I use it.

Benefits of using Nanacast
Easy upsells and downsells
One of your internet marketing tools should be able to help you implement upsell and downsell strategies, which I’ve proven to boost sales by as much as 50%. Nanacast is a very user-friendly system, with wizards that walk you through various options step by step, so that you can create upsell and downsell products in minutes.

Hosted sales pages
Nanacast is a web-hosted system which allows you to launch sales pages without getting your own hosting service. And because the program is not installed in your computer but stored in Nanacast’s own servers, updating the system and resolving program errors, if any, are easily implemented by its technical team. I still make my opwn sales pages however this is optional.

E-commerce ready
Integrating PayPal or other payment processor and a shopping cart system is easy with Nanacast. To start accepting PayPal payments, all you have to do is copy your PayPal email into the Nanacast system.

Membership strategy
An effective internet marketing strategy is to offer free memberships to buyers and site visitors. In doing so, you can collect email addresses and send them appropriate future marketing offers. With Nanacast, you can turn your blog (such as this one!) or any existing website into a membership site or CPA (cost per action) program easily. Moreover, you can earn a recurring income by selling online memberships as I am is doing with FastLandingPages.

Manage affiliate program
In internet marketing, you’ll want to protect your affiliates against fraud in their commissions because their sales efforts contribute to the lifeblood of your business. While affiliate programs are good sources of sales income, it can be a major headache when affiliate links are stolen, commissions are lost or affiliates buy from their own links. This chance of this happening is LOW if you use Nanacast to create and customize your affiliate program and monitor your affiliate’s activities. Nanacast uses a special IP and cookie-based tracking system to ensure that all your affiliates are paid correctly for all their efforts.

Summary
After testing and using Nanacast in the past months, I predict that it will soon be one of the most popular, affordable and powerful internet marketing tools around.
